By posting a link to it. I cant cope with 300,000 people all looking at it at once.

See item and link at 13:49.
I haven't yet gone through the logs to see how many people actually did access it, but the bandwidth logs tell the story. Not bad for 384Mbyte of RAM eh?
The BBC announced that yesterday was a no coal day and I presume they posted a link to GridWatch. I was suspicious about their announcement and went to have a look and coal was indeed flatlining at 0!
First time since the industrial revolution that no electricity was generated by coal! I had my doubts but gridwatch confirmed it.
Yes. You should put a tasteful donate button on there somewhere.
It may not make a difference to your site, but IIRC the Flight Radar site has a time-out feature that cuts you off if you've been on the site for more than x minutes without activity.

If you had such an arrangement it would at least limit the number of people who access the site and just sit on it.
Due to the magic of a well crafted protocol (HTML), and browsers that are not totally obscene, refreshing a page that has many images is very very efficient if none of the images have changed, or if you already have the images cached (these are not the same thing always).
Basically when you ask for an image, you hand a tokenb to the website. If the token matches the image, the response is 'you have that already' and thats all.
IMHO it was a bit cheeky of them to snip the picture of 3 dials from your site and then add "BBC" to it at bottom right; c/f the way they show other sources as Reuters or Getty Images.
Deserves a stern email to them from Messrs Sue, Grabbit and Run ;)
Of course not. I was impressed that the BBC news item I heard was careful to be explicit that they were talking about coal fired electricity generation.
I think we still have a couple of blast furnaces, not to mention a few blacksmiths with coke forges. Perhaps we import coke now, though.
I trust you pointed out the reliability of nuclear and CCGT, and that the variability of renewables, all the way down to zero, was a major weakness and their Achilles heel.
