Two days ago, Movie Genie’s main server, which provides all search results for the application, went down for about six hours, making it pretty much unusable to anyone. This was a dumb mistake on my part, since the issue was very easy to resolve, but I should have had the necessary precautions in place to warn me of the server downtime. I do have those running now, but it’s too late, and within those six hours, Movie Genie’s average rating went down from a full 5 stars to 2 or 3 in most countries.
When Apple announced the Safari 4 Beta, I was itching to try it out right away, but I knew that if I installed it, the current WebKit would get wiped out my system. This might be acceptable for most, but I would like to keep testing my sites against Safari 3 at least for another year before moving on. So I waited until someone came up with a solution to install them side by side. Brian Mastenbrook’s package extractor seems like exactly what I need, it works very well for me so far.
