.scheduled maintenance.

If you can read this, it’s 4 o’clock in the morning, coffee is starting to kick in (g0d bless nespresso) and I’ve just migrated the server elsewhere. And I’m cooking Perl scripts over iptables to kick out referrer spamming from sites like http%%sborrate-in-faccia.com. And I’m reading Rui‘s notes over the last few months about bandwidth saving, image caching, PHP acceleration, the works.

In an hour or two, I’ll be feeling a lot better because the caffeine will wear off and the system and network will be stable and I’ve had learned more and had more fun than I’ve had for the last 2 years at work.

[as a side note, the Ubuntu installation was flawless and revealed a couple of interesting details. you can configure a keyboard layout by answering a couple of questions/requests like "press one of these keys (if you have it)"/"does your keyboard have the X key [y/n]“]

no-prato.com was also migrated, but there are still a few bits and pieces missing which I’m taking care in the next few hours. WordPress sometimes feels like the stupidest thing on Earth.
