The Viamentis Blog

Hi all, after a rather long pause, I basically upgraded the entire vps that runs viamentis.com, right from the kernel up. The Bytemark folks are incredibly helpful as usual, and if you need some hands-on Linux hosting, they’re the guys to go to.

As a result, the site feels considerably faster, and am pleased that it went without a hitch, unlike my previous upgrade attempts (which is why I was putting it off for a while, as I didn’t have the time to spend on it). Finally, I had to install SBCL for staging the Lisp webapp that I am working on, so I had to basically upgrade the whole shebang. Am I glad I did

Yes, expect some action in the future, as I will be staging the Alpha release on this machine and will be asking some of you to take a look at the app. This is still a few weeks away, and it’s a very basic app, but I think it does the job, and I will finally be able to see how good Lisp is for webapps, for myself. Stay tuned!
