Nils-Axel Mörner is a discredited scientist on the subject; there are a number of refutations of his supposed "research" on sea levels. Here's one:

Nils' research cut to ribbons

No wonder the Maldives president is ignoring him.

Are these resolutions going to be updated that often? These resolutions are not, but the blog page about them is. Last time I checked, vanilla WordPress doesn't come with the caching extension to make WordPress less of a CPU hog, so a lot of WordPress users aren't prepared for a visit from Digg, Fark, or Slashdot.

Install WP-Cache.

Don't cache with Squid unless you fix WordPress http headers first.

WP-Cache is just the thing to avoid massive PHP and MySQL overload.

Let's see how Wordpress holds up. by XorNand · 2007-01-28 20:36 · Score: 2, Interesting · on Who Killed the Webmaster?

::Wince:: A WordPress blog making the frontpage of Slashdot (my blog nonetheless). FYI, I'm using the WP-Cache Wordpress plugin to help keep the thing online. If it stays up, it's almost certainly because of that functionality. The software itself is running on a pretty much idle, dedicated Xeon box in a datacenter.

Go cheap with md by hirschma · 2006-01-16 11:12 · Score: 1 · on Home Network Data Storage Device

First, buy one or more Generic SATA adapters. You can do the same thing with IDE. Note: AVOID PROMISE at all costs. They put something in their BIOS to prevent too many cards in one machine - so you have to buy their RAID crap.

The get as many hard drives as you have ports. I like Seagates - cheap, fast, low temp, 5 year warranty. Good enough. You can get nice 250's for about $100 each.

Shove this into a PC with a couple of extra fans. Go with a low-end Athlon solution, install cpudyn. Heat won't be a problem now, and you might even save on electricity. You can even have cpudyn spin your drives down for you if you don't mind an initial delay.

Make sure you have enough power for all the drives that you're buying (so they can spin up together - only more expensive controller support staggered spinup).

That's it. Install Linux, use md to make your RAID, add NFS and Samba, enjoy. It'll run for years without attention once you're done. The only downside? You're limited by the PCI bus for throughput, but that doesn't sound like an issue for this application.

> When a site has more reads than writes it is wise to cache the output page. Thus blogging software could write out the static content when the blogger presses "submit new entry" or someone adds a comment.
