Being a boblycat in today's society is a bit like being Jesus. So
much hardship and pain, but it's all worth it when your peers come to
huggle and molest you when you score the winning goal!!

Server Migration Complete


As some of you probably noticed, the last couple of months, and especially the last few weeks, have been rather unstable here at boblycat.org. The reason for the former has mostly been some severe network hiccups in Nextgentel's Laksevåg switch.

These incessant network outages combined with our own aging and increasingly unstable hardware, finally forced us into finding an alternative hosting solution. We ended up subscribing to a VPS (virtual private server) service in Stockholm.

The initial migration went rather smoothly, though we ran out of inodes (one of the resources severely limited by the VPS). The hosting company was kind enough to bump this limit for us. Unfortunately, at some point, the limit was reset, which caused last week's outage. We didn't report the problem as we mistakenly believed it was due to payment issues (we were transitioning from a trial service to a fully paid service).

In any event, things are up and running now. There are likely to be many small issues lurking about, so don't hesitate to contact Stig or myself if things need to be fixed. As usual, Stig manages Drupal and the gallery, while I do most of the other stuff.
