Hi, patrons! For the past few weeks I've been getting intermittent crashes on the web server, and the database that holds all the scale names and other stuff. It didn't always cause a 500 error, sometimes it merely manifested as a PHP error on the scale detail pages. It was time for an upgrade to increase the CPU and RAM ... which I did tonight. Thanks to all my patrons for making it possible! Your donations are sufficient to cover the increased server costs (which frankly isn't a LOT) so I can keep things available with better uptime.

Lately my focus has been on importing a bunch of new scale names -- I added about 200 of them tonight from a book I got, including lots of new stuff from musical traditions of Southeast Asia, Azerbaidjan, Myanmar, Turkey. I also have a whole bunch of YouTube videos that need to be re-rendered as a result of errata. I'm going to work on those over the next few weeks & months.

Cheers
Ian
