A few quick notes

A few quick notes on traffic, inspiring websites, podcasts and type.
Traffic
Due to the amount of traffic this site is receiving at the moment, it can be slow and sometimes even unreachable for for a few minutes. I am currently trying to locate what is causing the problem. My bandwidth isn't anywhere near it's limit, so that shouldn't be the problem. But then what is...
Inspiration
I've just uploaded a batch of 27 lovely websites to flickr. To those of you who don't know, I've been making screenshots of websites I like like for a few years now, and share the best of them in a flickr set that currently holds more than 1000 screenshots.
Podcasts
Since I've purchased a 30gb ipod last year, I've been really getting into podcasts. My current favorites include The Rissington Podcast, The Design View Show and BoagWorld. I usually listen to podcasts while I'm on public transport, and as I have to travel quite a bit everyday, I'm running out of fresh content rapidly! Any suggestions for good (design, type, web related) podcasts?
Type
Some recent releases I love:
That's it for now, I've got a design process series to finish :). Speaking of which, part 2 should be published in a few days!

Mar 14, 05:31 PMI don’t know of any web-related pot casts, but the Radio 4 podcasts from the UK – in paticular friday night comedy- are examples the best public service broadcasting anywhere in the world.

Mar 16, 04:27 PMHi there,
Perhaps this is just an issue with my operating system, but I thought you might like to know that whenever I try to load your site in Firefox my whole browser just shuts down without warning.
