> At its peak, I was getting between 100 and 200 page views per minutes.
It seems like it peaked at just over 3 hits per second, which is, frankly, a little lower than I would've expected, and seems very manageable. I'm curious what the loads are on sites that end up going down from the traffic.

35,000 uniques for ~330 upvotes? It's a little strange to me, but the few times I've been on HN, I've also noticed that near exact ratio: 100 uniques for every upvote, whether its for 20 upvotes or 200.
Anyway, I'm surprised it didn't result in more uniques in your case, given all the useful content you've posted...I spent some time going through your other blog posts. Great resource!

Sometimes google analytics doesn't count all numbers or the site was down for many people. I've seen some differences (around 20%) between GA and Woopra.
