My goal was to launch Grurrah.com and announce it's presence to the world during earth hour. It would have been a beautiful moment, sitting in the dark, conserving energy while uploading my website that will hopefully teach people how to conserve energy.
However, I ran into a bit of a speed bump with url redirecting. It was one of those deals where you spend hours trying to fix something, running into and fixing issue after issue until finally you hit a show stopper and realize that there is no way you can get around it.
Luckily, it's earth hour somewhere. In fact, I managed to launch during west coast earth hour, and all my lights were off.
So Grurrah.com is now up. I've decided to not announce it too heavily for a few more days, since there are still some issues to iron out and I am not sure how well my linode can handle the load. So no big press release, no blog entry on monologue, not even announcing the site on facebook yet. My soft launch consisted of one SMS conversation with my sister that went something like this:
jackson: are you near a computer?
lindsay: i am at dinner
jackson: checkout grurrah.com, it's a new website i just launched
Hopefully the server can withstand the load.
