Server Upgrade Today
Due to the increasing popularity of macapper (and all of the downtime the last few days) we decided to take the plunge and order up a tougher web server to handle the growth. The new machine is compiling as I write this, and we should have plenty of room to breath with the new configuration: P4 3.6Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram, 180GB SATA. I must hand it to the guys at XLHost as they had the server up (FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE) within a few hours of receiving the build order. Nice.
I would expect the transition to go quite smooth aside from the lag involved in your DNS propagating. Be assured if you receive a service outage it is only temporary. Thank you for your patience





‘grats Macapper team! Being too popular is a great problem to have
Done. Everything went nice and smooth for a change. Whatever was causing mod_rewrite to sh*t the bed on the old server is not effecting this build. APC caching roxorz:
load averages: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00
@Miles, well done!
The folks over at Tapbots have released an update to their Twitter client for the iPhone and iPod touch. http://www.itube-stream.de.tl This update adds a couple of useful features. One of these features gives you the ability to add sleep time for its push notifications. This allows you to set a block of time to turn off notifications from Twitter so that you can sleep easy and uninterrupted. Another useful feature is the ability to only receive notifications from people that you follow. Thirdly, have you ever reported a spammer or blocked someone and had to live with the fact that their tweets were still polluting your timeline? http://www.anysim.net Well fret no mo because once you block or spam someone with this new update, t heir tweets will be automatically removed.
