Hosting at zabor.org is down

Server I used to host most of my projects - zabor.org, is down for a few days now. At first I thought the problem is temporary, but it seems it's going to stay down for good. All data that was there is on my box, but it's somewhat messy, and it will take a few hours before I get it all back. Anyway, a new website is coming. It's going to be faster, better, more automatic, and with real backup. I want to get to the point where I can simply say rake website and all my packages will be checked out, built, tested, packaged, and uploaded together with updated HTML files. I'd also like to have add some WWW::Mechanize or firewatir-based website testing to make sure everything works as expected. Testing by hand is so 1990s. Well, at least it's a good excuse to learn firewatir. New hosting servers are:

• http://taw.chaosforge.org/ - working
• http://taw.pl.eu.org/ - setup in progress

Thanks to balrog kun for providing hosting zabor.org, and to pio and anubis for new hosting servers. Extra hosting servers are of course welcome :-) To make this post a little less boring, here's fragrement of the Rakefile which builds the website, which is then uploaded to all servers:

website_root = "/home/taw/website"

PROJECTS = %w[jrpg jrpg2 magic_xml magic_help rlisp]

PROJECTS.each do |project|
   #desc "Create #{website_root}/#{project} directory"
   file "#{website_root}/#{project}" do
       mkdir_p "#{website_root}/#{project}"
   end

   desc "Remove old website files for #{project}"
   task :"clean_#{project}" do
       rm_rf "#{website_root}/#{project}", :verbose => true
   end

   desc "Fix permissions of #{project}'s website"
   task :"pub_#{project}" do
