After a long negotiation with one of our hosts, we have reached an agreement to obtain a new server for the backend, which should put an end to the hourly site outage.

This involves taking the site offline, transferring the database across, reinstalling various packages and ensuring everything works and then starting it up again.

Quetzal, itismadness and I only have so much free time, so it may take several days at the outside, but we will do our best to make it as quick as possible, without sacrificing quality. But there will be an extended downtime.

The grocery store's the supermart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
