The hosting outfit that I've been using for differentpla.net is cheap for a reason: they're not very good.
At the end of February, I managed to hose my VPS host. This, fair enough, was my fault. Where I started to run into problems was when I asked my hosting company to restore a backup. The backup was corrupted. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a problem: I had a fairly recent backup stored locally, so once the box was restored to the point that I could log in, I just restored from that.
At the end of February, differentpla.net suffered filesystem corruption. I had to revert pretty much everything to a previous backup, which meant losing about a week's worth of stuff.
Fortunately, updates are fairly sporadic (I'm lazy), so not much was lost.
Unfortunately, some files need to be restored from a remote backup, which I've not finished doing yet. This means that some things (avatars, attachments, etc.) might still be missing. I plan to have this fixed fairly soon.
Nothing to report. It all works fine. Installation took an hour. The only hiccup was that I had to download the Marvell Yukon drivers (I used the Vista x86 ones) from Marvell's website, but the WiFi works, so that was easy. I also slapped an SDHC card in there for some ReadyBoost goodness.
Someone appears to have spent some time searching my site for the term "Roman Numeral letter H". This is pointless, for two reasons:
Valid Roman numerals are I, V, X, L, C, D, M. Numbers above 5000 use a bar over the letter. See Wikipedia for more details.
This site does contain an example of how to do Test-First- (or Test-Driven-) Design to create a Roman numeral converter. See this page.
I just signed up for a virtual private server to host differentpla.net. Previously, differentpla.net was hosted on my Linux box at home, over my ADSL line.
