Why on earth they don't soft-launch and trickle the PR via news streams rather than having MPs on Breakfast TV etc saying how wonderful it is

Ego. The person who "made it happen" want to get their mug on the telly and take the credit.

Cloud computing can be up and down scaled quickly but the companies that provide it are not stupid and charge a fortune if you want the capacity and especially if you want it quickly.

Well... they're using Amazon Web Services, which charges a flat rate per server "instance" per hour, regardless of how many you need, and they're available instantly. It's actually pretty affordable for a short period. A fairly chunky server costs about $0.30 an hour to run. They also have an auto scaling service that'll allocate as many server instances as you need based on demand. This means you can cope with a high profile Slashdot/Digg/BBC News homepage spot comfortably with the right planning. In webmonkey land, we often have to cope with this kind of intense spike for short periods (during and after a TV ad, for example)... </dayjob>

Working for me today - just a couple of anti-social behaviour reports showing up. Ironically one is directly outside the house my brother has just moved into...

Just got on to check my area.

I'm never going out after dark again. 223 reported crimes IN DECEMBER (or am i interpreting wrong and that's a yearly figure?)

I live in Guildford FFS!

Pretty much none where I live, but a whopping 732 where I work. Time for a new job maybe?

Almost nothing round where I live. But I did learn that this man is our local crime fighter.

Go Chad!

I can't help but think that showing the faces of the PCSOs who's jobs are at risk on a pointless £300,000 website is a bit off. If I was Chad I'd be a tad miffed.
