WiGLE is now running on a brand new server (dual P3 1.2Ghz, 2GB ram). Hopefully this machine will be much much much more stable than our last two boxes, and a bit faster. I've never physically touched this one so maybe it will remain uncursed.
Fun memory consumption issues

The map renderer I wrote for the online maps is in java, and I seem to have discovered a memory leak in the jvm itself. It grows and grows, way passed the max heap size. At any rate, that's what caused the unavailability last night and this morning (July 3-4), as it grew to consume almost all of memory, until the kernel killed the process for getting too uppity. So that's what happened, if you care. We'll take steps to make sure it doesn't happen anymore.
