Yesterday I did some tuning of my trusty server, I tweaked Apache, MySQL, Bind and some other applications to run in less memory and in some cases more responsively. Thanks very much to Martin for the help with that. Other sites around the web played their part too:

I also took the time to use some funky ‘pinning’ in Ubuntu to grab PHP 5.1.4 from another repository, that was the hardest part, took me around 4 attempts of removing PHP and reinstalling to get it going.
