Don't get it. 3,000 applications per hour is not a big deal. You don't need a high end server to manage that. Must be a problem with the website design. If the server can only server X requests concurrently, just deny access to the X+1 until you have X-1 (Ref Queueing theory) Regards Shad ________________________________ From: geoffrey gitagia <ggitagia@gmail.com> To: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Sent: Thursday, August 2, 2012 1:06 PM Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] IEBC Website not working BTW on the FB page is a drop box folder for those short listed for the said jobs ... how hard was it to implement and emailing system then?

At 3,000 job seekers per hour, how many listed by close of business? I hope not all the 42 million Kenyans I hear about. This website was probably done by an amateur!

I just picked this from their FB, seriously they need help, its been almost two weeks now and they have not figured out what to do, I hope they don't take their web presence for granted like they do take us - their employers!
" The IEBC website, which has been slow or unavailable, will be up and running in a few hours. We apologize to those applying for jobs online. Our systems were overwhelmed by the more than 3,000 applicants per hour."
