Data overload much?
From /.
“The BBC has revealed that on the busiest day of its London 2012 Olympics coverage it delivered 2.8 petabytes worth of content, peaking when Bradley Wiggins won gold, where it shifted 700Gb/s. It has also said that over a 24-hour period on the busiest Olympic days it had more traffic to bbc.co.uk than it did for the entire BBC coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2010 games. They revealed they had 106 million requests for BBC Olympic video content, which included 12 million requests for video on mobile devices across the whole of the Games. Mobile saw the most uptake at around 6pm when people had left the office but still wanted to keep informed of the latest action. Tablet usage, however, reached a peak at around 9pm, where people were using it as a second screen or as they continued to watch the games in bed.”

I am developing calluses on the fingertips of my left hand and the painted logo is wearing off my pick. All good signs :-)
[Recipe] Eggs Benedict with healthy hollandaise
![[Recipe] Eggs Benedict with healthy hollandaise](https://www.flubu.com/blog/wp-post-avatar/foodgasm.jpg)
I made one of Katy’s favourite breakfasts this weekend: eggs benedict. We used store-bought (Tesco’s Finest) hollandaise sauce and, while it was really good, you could tell that it was evil for you. I scrouged a bit online and found a healthier version of the hollandaise sauce.
As a side note, I made it with some thickly toasted sourdough bread slices, thick cut ham on the bone and 3 minute poached eggs. YUMMAY!
Healthy Greek Yogurt Hollandaise Sauce
This is far healthier, with a lot less fat the traditional butter-based Hollandaise. This is guilt-free Hollandaise, so enjoy over eggs, asparagus, other vegetables, as a dipping sauce for artichokes or any dish finished with Hollandaise.
Makes about 1 cup (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
* 1 Cup Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt
* 2 Tsp. lemon juice
* 3 Egg Yolks
* 1/2 Tsp salt
* 1/2 Tsp Dijon mustard
* 1 pinch fresh ground pepper
Directions:
* Fill a medium saucepan with two inches of water. Choose a stainless steel bowl that will sit partially inside of the saucepan without touching the water to create a double boiler.
* Fill the pan without about two inches of water and bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer.
* Beat yogurt, lemon juice, egg yolks well
* Heat over simmering water, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened, approx 15 min (sauce will become thinner after about 10 min and then thicken again).
* Remove from heat and stir in salt, mustard and pepper.
