A Plea for Donations (Updated)

    So, if you're looking at this, you're viewing my site on my shiny new linode. Thankfully, I have awesome friends that are willing to help those in need, and my thanks go out to them. But, I'm not removing that donation button, and my previous offer still stands. Anyone who donates an amount of $5 or larger can request a howto, guide, etc. and I wil write it (assuming it's not an outrageous request).

    Anyways, enjoy the faster, less crappy snuxoll.com!

Watch Your Memory Usage

    Have you visited my blog recently only to get hit with a 404 or Internal Server Error on a page that you know should exist? Yeah, me too. After contacting dreamhost and running `ps` on my account to lookup what was eating my memory I was in shock. 20 php5.cgi processes.

ircwall *FINALLY* Live

    You know, I've had a few doubts about dreamhost from time to time, I know they oversell their bandwidth, but what host doesn't I guess. Still, having an ancient version of ruby with no way to change it so I can use merb, which requires at least ruby 1.8.6, kinda blew since it meant I couldn't get ircwall running on dreamhost. Well, that finally changed!
