Sites moved successfuly! (and other stuff)

The move of the websites to Gandi Hosting is a success

So far I'm very pleased with their service. With one virtual server slice the websites run just nicely, for a very competitive price. Moving from a shared, restricted PHP/MySQL ISP to a virtualized Ubuntu server where I can do anything is fabulous.

For the record, the websites are server through Lighttpd, a very efficient web server. It is lightweight on the memory and cpu compared to Apache HTTPD. Its is also very easy to set-up (I would say way easier than Apache!). FastCGI support is premium, so that you can easily and efficiently serve PHP, Python or Ruby backed applications.

On a final note I recently hacked a small Java LZMA compression library which is based on the LZMA SDK. It's already usable, but it will require some further polishing before a proper version 1.0 can be released. Feel free to have a look, building the Jar is an instant operation with Maven (unless it downloads the whole Internet of course )
