For about one and a half year, BigNumbr — one of my Web 2.0 experimental project — have been dormant, getting virtually no traffic. Having done no promotion, I’ve never quite expected anything about it.

During the last couple of month I’ve been experiencing pretty bad Internet conditions: frequent losses of connexion, ultimate slowness and huge pings. I’ve been moving to different places so I had to rely exclusively on open Wifi spots around; it was a definitely frustrating experience.
