We're currently in the process of migrating the entire server to a new CentOS 5 VPS node. We hope that the transition goes very smoothly, but we anticipate that there might be a hiccup or two during the transition. The website and downloads should be unaffected for the most part, but in order to avoid too much data loss, I've disabled Trac for now (this includes the support pages). If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Thank you for your understanding.
Update: The transition to the new server is complete. With a few tweaks still pending, everything appears to be stable again.

The server experienced approximately 36 hours of downtime through yesterday and today. The reason for the downtime was due to a bunch of hardware issues that NetworkRedux was having with the server that the Fadingred.org VPS node is hosted on. The entire server was moved to new hardware and everything appears to be operational now. Considering the severity of the hardware issues that caused the server to fail, 36 hours is really a very modest amount of downtime. These guys really do a great job with the service they provide.

It's been a while now that my blog's been offline. The URLs leading to it have also changed a good amount in the last month or so, and for the (two) people who subscribe to the blog via RSS, I'm sorry to change things up on you so much.
Everything's functional again, but now I'm on the Typo trunk because I couldn't get the current stable release that includes rails to work properly for me. I had a good number of problems setting things up with lightly, but managed my way through them. I might post something here later about that for other people setting things up. For now I'm going to keep sorting through the few issues I still have to sort out in my second webserver transition in a very short span.
I'm now on a NetworkRedux VPS account which has been extremely nice so far. I've learned a good amount about setting up a server and I'm sure I will continue to learn about it as things progress.

I finally got around to registering a domain name, so update your bookmarks (for the few people who have bookmarked things on my site). I actually am set up with a new host as well, NetworkRedux, and so far they have been amazing. AmbitiousLemon has been so good to me, and I still feel like I owe the guy who let me steal so much bandwidth from him for so long. I highly recommend taking a look at AmbitiousLemon if you're looking for a free web host. They do have a few rules, though.
The NetworkRedux server feels a lot faster than any host I've been with yet, and I hope that eventually I'll be able to get some RubyOnRails applications running on FastCGI. Right now I'm using Typo to do blogging, but am still running it on CGI. Now that I have a real blogging system set up, maybe I'll actually post things here more often. I doubt anyone actually reads any of these posts, though, anyway.
