"Service Temporarily Unavailable" -- Hacker News effect?
I'm so sorry about that. It's killing me to see the site is down. I wonder if it is the HN effect, since it happened after I started getting traffic from here.

Still, that's no reason for the site to go down. It's a basic wordpress site. I should be able to handle traffic like this.

Update: I think it's okay now.

Magento is a pretty powerful package, but also very enterprisey with very complicated db schema, and injection of behaviour with tons of xml in different layers, not my bag of tea. I understand why they chose PHP -- all the developers... but man the code looks like a mix between java from way back when and early wordpress.
I'm using spreehq.com now for this very reason.
I was hoping for the backstory on Magneto
