It's been unstable alright - it's almost been like magic, the moment
I leave the house for more than a couple of days, some adsl shit happens
and the modem had to be rebooted.

Nowhere - I've never written anything about it. I remember what triggered
me to start the Yaws project though. At the time I was playing indoor hockey
with a bunch of friends. I'd never ever done any web development, but
nevertheless I went about to make a small dyn site where players could
indicate whether they were going to show up at the games each Sunday
evening or not. I started out using the - at the time - obvious choice of
technology, apache, php, mysql and was absolutely amazed at how much
that sucked. So I though - I can do better, thus,  instead of building the
hockey site - I got completely sidetracked.

- So when is the hockey site done ?
- Ehhh, soon I've just got to write a webserver first

Something like that :-)
