I have a little HTTP collector running to collect Google hits on various open source and open core projects, and I noticed that the hit count for Hyperic had gone through the roof (surpassing Nagios). I don’t understand Google’s algorithm and these kinds of spikes are pretty common, but I was curious to see if there was any particular bit of news that caused the spike so I did a search.

Then I happened to glance over in the corner to see our AdWord show up against the search. At OpenNMS we don’t have any full-time sales and marketing people, but we got a coupon for some free AdWord links and decided to have some fun with it. This was one of mine (although I must admit I stole it from a bash.org quote featuring “I Can Haz Fiev Niens?”).

Should I quit my day job?
