Welcome to the new sapphyre.org

Okay, I confess, we're a little short on content at the moment. This is what happened after Greg bumped into a like-minded simplification geek on twitter and decided to try a new way of doing things. Flat text files, hand-crafted html, and verifying my own links are the new black.

Some things you should know:

sapphyre.org is now hosted on a very limited VPS at linode.com. They are fantastic.
We have 20GB of disk and 512MB of RAM to scream as loud as we can.
With such limited resources, forget CentOS or Ubuntu. We're running Debian Squeeze and loving it.
After a brief experiment with apache 2.2 + mysql + wordpress, we decided to scratch it all and start WRITING. Savings: 300MB RAM and much coal.
The webserver is lighttpd running in about 5MB RAM.

Sites hosted on my little VPS:

sapphyre.org. The center of the madness.
muffinhouse.org. A group of Emilie Autumn fans who want to live together (eventually).
bethanywatson.org. Personal website of my best friend, Bethany Watson.
cornflakegirl.org. Toriphile Greg bought this domain without a plan.
