So today my gam_server went memory crazy. It is a daemon that notfies applications about file changes. At one point it was using 40% of my gig of memory. I killed it and it came right back and was using 22% a short while later.

All of the goodness of StrongBad in one email.

So I went and changed to WordPress as a backend for my journal because Blosxom was to annoying. It made it impossibily hard to edit posts since everything was based on the timestamp of the file.
I learned I don’t care about having plain text files as much as I thought I would.
