What Happened to Safat?
I am sorry for the 24 hour downtime with Safat basically the code that runs it was taking too much CPU and database time at my host Dreamhost; who sent me this nice email:
Hello,
Queries against your kwblogswp were once again causing incredibly high loads on your database server ’scar’. Because of this I have been forced to disable access to your database. Please optimize your queries for performance and optimize your code to perform as few queries as possible. Once you’ve done that, we can re-enable access to your database. However, please keep in mind that if we have to disable access to your database again, it will be permanent. We simply cannot continue to allow one person to cause problems for a large number of people.Thanks!

So they took it down and took a long while for them to bring it back up again. Luckily I had other options and get greg up.
What to expect in the future? Well it means I need to tweak some settings, but doubt it will do any major change or move to a dedicated server or a better shared hosting plan. Still checking out options and waiting for Dreamhost to reply back to another email to help reduce the load.
