Why the Ping Loop Did Not Crash Wordpress
Sep 10, 2008 Evolution of Madness
Some days ago I did the Ping Loop Test and I luckily had only 4 duplicate posts to clean up. Now the question is, why did the loop stop. To answer this i didn´t have to go into analyzing logfiles and plugin behavior.Ping.FM has rate limits of 3 messages per rolling minute to prevent spam. This absolutly makes sense for a message distribution service like them. And it does not just prevent spam but it also prevents fast loops that could crash a service.

Crash Your Wordpress with a Ping Loop
Sep 7, 2008 Evolution of Madness
Ok this is a first bigger API Loop or Chain Reaction Experiment and I hope this blog will recover from it. Actually I am not sure what will happen. What I am doing is sending out this post with the help of the Wordpress plugin PingPressFM and getting it back with another PingFM Plugin. I am a little bit exited and afraid to push the Publish button. I hope to recover soon from this experiment. Lets see what happens…Update: Nothing big happened. I had to clean-up only 4 duplicate posts…
