Unfortunately the Static Content cluster had a bit of an issue the past week and I hadn’t set any monitoring against it.
The Static content is now back up and the site looks nice again.
Apologies for the mishap!

September has seen another increase in growth with people accessing Airbana over IPv4 and IPv6, adding additional sites and making more tweaking edits or sending SMS’s than any other month!
One of the new sites added this month is UCZ Paintball who have locations in Newton Abbot, Exeter and Plymouth. All their sites are UKARA [...]
Not that this is going to affect anyone who isn’t a hardcore geek but Airbana is now accessible over IPv6.
The infrastructure is the same and IPv6 connectivity is provided by SixXS.
For those of you that have IPv6 connectivity there is an AAAA record for www.airbana.co.uk [and blog.airbana.co.uk] so no need to use the IPv6 literal [...]
Thanks to the uptake by some of the Site Operators I’ve been able to fix some issues with the XML RPC parsing functions which should ensure additional stability for users who utilise ASCII / HTML escape codes and HTML formatting in their XMLRPC.php files.
Due to the feedback received the site will (in the future) check [...]

Bug: New sites with the same name as an existing site do not have corresponding Wiki’s
Cause: Wiki’s are created with a Key constraint of the Unique ID of the Site. The methodology used to ‘fetch’ the key of the [...]

You no longer need to signup to Add Sites, receive SMS’s or anything like that. Information such as your mobile number is stored on your local computer (cookies for those who care).
There is a lot more AJAX in the [...]
The Airbana XML RPC Generator is now available here.
Site operators who don’t want to program an XML formatter for entries in their DB (or don’t have a DB backend) can add upto 4 prices (although the format is quite simple to add more) and then click the green ‘Go’ button.
Simply copy and paste this text [...]
