Since y'all killed his blog again:

It's not HN's fault, the blog is not performant :).

Should've picked a webscale langauge like Perl, Ruby, or Javascript.

Thanks Bruce. :) Seems my single small VPS is no longer enough to keep up with modern HN traffic...

Have you set up a WordPress caching plugin? Maybe it's time to switch to a static site builder.

Hi Matt! Figures this thread would have everyone I know. :)

Yeah, I'm running WP Super Cache, which means the site is still up.

Do you have a recommended static site builder?

I use Pelican (http://getpelican.com/).
