Over the next 24 hours ( and you may have noticed the past 24 hours ) there may be intermittent 404′s or 503′s across zwopple.com or zwoptexapp.com.

I’m in the process of optimizing my webserver to handle traffic better and faster. To do so here is what I am doing:

• Installing lighttpd webserver to serve non-dynamic content ( it’s way faster for this! )
• Installing php optimizations and wordpress caching to speed up performance of blog TONS
• Eventually converting all php on zwoptexapp.com to python running on django through wsgi

In the end it’ll mean a lot faster pages, downloads and less costs for myself.

Update: lighttpd is running and wordpress caching has been turned on. The blog should see some massive performance gains

Sorry for any inconvenience the intermittent downtime may cause.
