Buy an Underground Sanctuary to Ensure Your Post-Apocalyptic Survival
Tags:Awesome Things, Technology, WTF
If you need a secure location to ensure your survival in the coming apocalypse, or simply crave a spacious underground lair, then consider Central London’s deep level shelters. Built in 1940 as air-raid shelters, the underground tunnels have since served as a war room, library, and telephone exchange for British secret intelligence. And now you can own a shelter of your very own.
The Kingsway Tunnels, located 200 feet below street level and owned by British telecom provider BT, went up for sale yesterday. In the last few decades, the tunnels’ primary use has been for communications, having served as the telephone exchange for the hotline between the US and Soviet presidents. But the original purpose of the shelter was to withstand a foreign attack, and, at the end of the world, the accommodations should prove cozy for you and 8,000 of your closest friends.

Site Status Update
As you all well know, the entire internet TWG broke this morning. The problem was the ratings system, it was breaking everything. Also, the watermarking was causing a problem. Also, the hotlinking was causing slowdowns. While they were all off one their own machines, those things didn’t cause much problems, but now that it’s just one dedicated machine…well, let’s just say that I didn’t purchase the ultra awesome hosting package, I got the budget package that came with budget RAM on a budget CPU. Leading to some ugly ‘500 internal error’ messages until I fixed a couple things.
Items removed to try to reduce server over head:
Buy Me A Beer – no one was buying me beer, I had to buy my own.
Link to my site – really? if you don’t know how to send a url you are internet retarded, which is worse than real world retarded. I’m not really too sure why I even installed this piece of code, other then I was bored/drunk.
Ratings – I’ll try to see what I can do to bring this back, but the ratings were raping the mysql server. I’ll try to talk the ratings dev guy to enable caching for this.
Hotlinking Images – had to turn this off. I originally thought I used about 10% of my monthly bandwidth in a single day, but I was wrong, I only used about 3%, but you can see where that might be a problem when 3% x 30 = 90% only giving me a 10% budget for overages. With the way that diggs/reddits/slashdots/boingboing/farks/stumbleupon spikes happen, I’d rather have a larger buffer between me and an extra $2,000 worth of bandwith.
tl;dr = removed features to fix MCS, some might come back, some won’t.
