Metamark is getting a lot more daily traffic than Snipurl now. Woah. Still fewer new short urls a day though.

I'd really like to get the code cleaned up a tiny bit more and moved to one of our public subversion repositories. If you'd like to use the Metamark code for something, let me know.

I entirely forgot to tell that the server trouble got sorted out ...

One of the drives in the RAID 5 was failing and the 3ware controller didn't handle it terribly well. It didn't lose any data, so it did fulfill it's primary purpose, but it'd be nice if it didn't make the box crash. Sigh. The support from Penguin Computing was great, hurray for them!

The data center is a couple floors underground so the cell phones don't work there, making calling people rather inconvenient. I bought a cheap Grandstream IP phone and made an account with VoicePulse Connect so in the future we have a phone next to the computers for such emergencies. Unless of course it's network / IP emergencies. :-)
