Race conditions squished, required features complete. msgpad is ready for more beta members! Well, _almost_. I need to switch web host, Dreamhost is just too unreliable for Ruby On Rails hosting. They have this daemon that comes along every few hours and nukes lingering processes. It’s a shame that the FastCGI processes that serve my pages are lingering processes. Apparantly they handle FastCGI differently. It’s pretty clear that something isn’t right though. Every 24 hours or so, when my system seizes up, I have to kill these processes, and everything is fine again. Sup wit dat?

Anyway, I’m tired of debugging the hosting issues, that’s why I pay the hosting company. Granted, I only paid Dreamhost $20 for my first year. I’m going to give “Site5″:http://www.site5.com a go.
