Apologies for the wackiness and outages. I think we're back to normal now.

And a few rants:
- Arbitrarily strongly typed have their place, however strongly typing SQL is a pain in the ass. Strongly typing SQL in a point release is a serious pain in the ass.
- Changing the semantics of PostgreSQL's "CASE" statement sucks.
- Small changes can have wider consequences. Changing an SSH port, for instance, doesn't just affect the process of SSHing into the machine, it might also impact backups of databases that could change formats during version upgrades...
- When Courier "just works", it's great. There's some weirdnesses that I don't understand and it doesn't seem to want to tell me about them.
- Dueling module management, ie: Ubuntu vs CPAN, is a pain in the ass.
- Renaming of Ubuntu packages, especially meta-packages, is also a pain in the ass.
Wow, a number of pains in the ass there.
