Uploader insanity

I uploaded my short documentary "Modern Alchemy" to vimeo.com yesterday, sent out some emails telling people about it, and nervously watched the view counter. Then the insanity set in. I must have hit refresh on the video's page about 5-6x a minute. When I wasn't refreshing the video's page, I was refreshing my facebook/twitter/email pages. The second cup of espresso wasn't helping matters either. I was extremely grateful that I had an afternoon video shoot to get me away from my computer.

Ultimately, my emailing efforts paid off. Modern Alchemy was featured on boingboing.net and steampunkworkshop and Modern Alchemy got a decent number of views. Thanks again to Mark Frauenfelder and Jake Von Slatt for mentioning my work. It's a huge deal for someone like me who is just starting out.
