Boing Boing: Comix antihero motivational posters

I am told by those in the know that I'm like a living breathing Spider Jerusalem. As it stands, I can't say I'm familiar with the man, but I can support his unique love of sunglasses and cats that are, like, double-cats.

I'm even thinking of getting a tattoo.

So it comes as no surprise that I took notice when Boing Boing posted a link to comic book antihero motivational posters. I visited the link, but purple text on a black background looks all but invisible on my second-hand, had-to-have-it-soldered-once-and-the-problem-still-didn't-go-away monitor at work.

I made a note to put the link somewhere so I could read it at home. But of course, the site is down now, flooded by Boing Boing readers galore. (Slashdot slashdots, and Fark farks, so I suppose Boing Boing boings.) The motivation posters got boinged something fierce, and though I'm confident they'll be back sometime in the next few days or weeks — I can be a very patient fellow — I really wish someone somewhere had Coralized the link once before it died.

Coralizing, the present perfect form of the infinitive "to Coralize", is a simple and free way of distributing HTTP content among numerous redundant servers. Instead of hammering one Homestead system, you spread the load among multiple participating Coral servers. Let's Coralize http://cnn.com/some/article.html as an example.

Before: Visit http://cnn.com/some/article.html

After: Visit http://cnn.com.nyud.net:8090/some/article.html

It's just that easy, folks. Add ".nyud.net:8090" to the end of the fully qualified domain name of the site you want to duplicate and it's done. There's even an extension in Firefox to do it for you.

And if somebody had Coralized these antihero motivational posters, I wouldn't be bitching about it.
