Dawn of the Geeks

The alternate server with Indie-Mobile, Open Directory etc, is down due to Apache flaking out for unknown reasons. Since the server is being moved today anyway I’m not rushing out to fix it. Depending on when the new internet service is installed the server will be brought back up and hopefully stablized. Previously Open Directory was using a flat file format which is a little silly. But I’ve found a script to put all the data into mySQL so we’ll see if that improves performance. If nothing else, it’ll free up a lot of disk space on the server. It’s also a good stress test for mySQL with millions of rows of data.
