Planet Lotus server update

Some good news, however I'll wait a good month to rule out any DoS suspicions; hopefully it's just the paranoia.

Thank you for contacting Server Support. I understand your server is down after doing a reboot. After reviewing your server it appears that the servers fan went bad. We have replaced the fan and the server is running as normal.

As a result of this, the process of making things more efficient and up-time will continue to be front and center. Much of this is in the way of growing pains; for example the table that tracks hits was 3.3 million rows; this needs to be addressed over time; I have ideas; all of them will take time to implement. In the short term the de-emphasis of certain hit counters will appear, like job postings, how many hits a job posting receives just isn't that important. This theme will continue; but never leave the front page posts ;)

    Prior to that, I had to replace the power supply. Both of these events are making me consider putting my Domino server on VM and letting someone else worry about the hardware. :-)
