I expected, that they have always a couple of servers spare and if an order comes in, they just hack it into their system and the automagic starts: assign a server to a customer, copy the image of the desired system over, mail the customer the information. Well, that was a little blue-eyed.

I called them yesterday to ask about the status and they told me, that it takes between five and seven days. Wow! That's a lot longer than I though.. Well, no root-server during this week then, I think... ;)

This site got much faster never the less. I stopped the IMAP-server and it is immediately noticeable. Seems like the slowness came from the "too many open files in system". So you can pretty well run a Tiki on a vServer, but not much else additionally..

.. can be found on the single most valuable site to website-developers ever: A list apart. Joe Clark has some very intriguing points to make about the process, the result and the nonsense about version two of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

I know, that I'm not even at XHTML compliance yet, but I also know, that e.g. blind people don't have to suffer, if they browse to my page!

I really want my page to be accessible for anybody - and now I can't even point some dumb-ass executives to a noteworthy resource about accessibility??

Did fuckin' purely presentational Flash and PDF really win?? (Yes, they are becoming accessible, but it's putting the cart before the horse!!)

Damnit - I was at a DVD store with my Püppi and surfing the web from her cell phone was a real enlightenment! My web page was eons better than imdb.com.

I am very thankful to my bro, who showed me the first light on this issue (and who created simple and now *lite for TikiWiki)! And I will (and he, for sure, too!) go on in a way, that promises accessibility to anybody!

This one I just heard today from my bro. Czechs kicked out the Finns in the semi-finals. Then finns won against Canada 5-0 - not bad! ;)
Czechs were in the final against Swedes. This should have been the occassion for my bro's fellow countrymen to pay back the swedes our olympic loss. Hmpf - that didn't work out 4-0 for the swedes.

Damnit, they aren't capable of anything - but if it comes to ice hockey, then they are damn lucky bastards! ;P

First country ever to win ice hockey at the olympic games and at world championships in the same year - congrats SWE!

But we finns were more successful than ABBA at the eurovision song contest! ;)

Yes, the finnish band 'Lordi' won this years Eurovision Song Contest.

I didn't follow the whole thing at all, but just some minutes ago Püppi called me to tell me, that we won and if I want to know with what, then I'll have to switch on television now.

Well, Lordi is some interesting hard rock played by some monsters. Yes, they use a lot of make up. ;)

See the video at YouTube.

I love it! Whole germany was years ago upset, that the german song were too dumb and it can't be, that 'real artists' don't have a chance. Bla, bla - what the people want, that's what has a chance.. ;)

UPDATE: I today heard from Hartsa (our finnish TikiWiki translator), that this was finlands first eurovision song contest win ever - and also, that never anyone won with so many points - 292! Cheers! :)

Yup, yup, interesting, but I forgot to mention it in the roundup-post: TikiWiki 1.9.3 was released - and just some hours later 1.9.3.1.
Yeah, the release started rolling when I was just leaving for Püppi in Düsseldorf. My last words were:

#tikiwiki
[17:52:32] <amette__> happy releasin' everybody :)
[17:52:43] amette__ is off, but keeps sending good vibes


Seems that didn't help.
