It seems that nobody really takes responsibility of blogs.gnome.org..

We (GNOME.org Sysadmin Team) have spotted couple of fatal errors in NB 
scripts which causes nice busyloops and such..

NB also servers all images trough Python script, instead of letting 
Apache server them directly off-disk. This has caused the load of 
window.g.o to be around 40-70 for several hours today. I hacked NB to 
nice itself to 10, this should help as first aid. Some people had lots 
of images on their blogs today which causes lots of extra load on the 
server due this feature of NB.
