Oh dear, I hope I'm not responsible for slashdotting
(or maybe: advocating) the server?

It was working again, but now I am getting:


There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.
An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also
contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.


maybe they should switch to firebird or something...

Firebird is a decent database, in the same league as postgres.  I still
prefer postgres for a couple of reasons.  My information in
firebird/Interbase may be a little outdated but Firebird has a 64k row
limit.  This is the killer for me: no large blobs!   I think it also a
bit slower than postgres but I have no evidence to back that up just my
experiences from IB 5 back in the day.  Right now, at least, it is
easier to set up and run under windows and that's worth a few points.

What keeps me coming back to postgres is not feature 'x' or feature 'y'
but the spirit and capability of its creators.
