Admin server slowness

I apologize for the admin server’s slowness today.

The bad news (and good news) is that we’ve had an unprecedented number of large orders today (surpassing our weekly average over the last six months) and the admin hamsters are gasping. More ads to come tomorrow apparently.

The undiluted good news is that Blogads 3.0 is finally in preliminary testing stages. Not sure what that means vis a vis deployment, but after more than a year of gestation, it is great to finally feel some contractions. In addition to making the admin server far swifter and robust, the new code will enable a bunch of features advertisers have begged for for AND allow for faster extensions.
