Oxyliquit.de resides on a (very) crappy virtual server.  When you see a
'temporarily down', the server is currently being restarted (which means
that the server just killed the nitro instance).  You can just reload,
it'll take around 10-30 seconds to restart (mostly depending on the
moon phase, the humidity, and the ever shifting mood of the server).
When there's the error page (in an unexpected place) it's probably the
connection to the memcached server which has been dropped (due to some
butterfly in southern japan) and the server will also be automatically
restarted at most one minute after.

Any complaint, bug report or general hate mail go to me, don't hold
back.  :P
(For nitroproject.org write to George Moschovitis, I don't like wikis
and so don't feel responsible for that.  :P)

So yes, I apologize for every inconvenience this causes people who
browse the site, I'm aware of the stability problems and am trying
to cut those down by 'optimizing' the error recovery.  I just happen
to be a poor student not being able to push all too much money that
way. ;)

I'm also aware that this doesn't really show Nitro in the way that it
should be shown.  Nitro is (IMO of course) the most cozy way to build
websites with Ruby.  Nitro really deserves better, so please don't get
put off by oxyliquit.  ^^;

If you want to know more about Nitro and like faster feedback, the
#nitro channel on irc.freenode.net is small but full of helpful people.
The mailing list is also a good starting point (lately it's looking
more like a -dev list, don't be scared by the [PATCH] mails and enliven
the list by just being a newbie asking questions (yes, we suffer the
complete opposite of the ruby ML, we have too many 'knowledgeable'
people and too few new ones).)

Again, I apologize for outages of Oxyliquit; have a nice day.
