From its inceptions, this blog has run on NearlyFreeSpeech.Net's FreeBSD web hosting service. Because of very clever resource sharing (when not serving visitors, a site hardly takes up resources), their pricing has always been very competitive. That, combined with their technical flexibility, support and transparency has made me more of a fan with every year that I've used their service. Still, sometimes I've been wanting to use something else than CGI (they support many, many programming languages for CGI – even C/C++) or mod_php, like Rails or Django or mod_perl.

On Oktober, the 25th, in what will be known to future generations as a historical move, Wiebe changed the A record of www.aihato.nl to point to the new production site running at Ytec.

My attempts to get Xen working right on Debian stable (Lenny) were not really successful. Xen has had some interesting developments and the version in Lenny is just too old. Plus, the debian bootstrap scripts used to create images don't support Ubuntu Maverick... Squeeze (testing) has the newest Xen and deboostrap, so that's cool. I used the AMD64 architecture.

There is a mysql command wrapper script (/opt/zimbra/bin/mysql) that loads an environment to set password and such, but there is no such thing for mysqldump. I copied that wrapper script to /usr/local/bin/mysqldump so that user zimbra can no run mysqldump. This is it:
