After a long seasonal break Osmxapi is now up and running again. The server it was running on (hypercube.telascience.org) lost its disk on 19 December. Which also happened to be the day I went on vacation. When the disk was restored Osmxapi wouldn't restart because it needed a database check. So it stayed down until I returned from vacation.
By the time I returned the hourly diff files had been purged up to December 25 meaning Osmxapi would not have changes for the period 19-25 December. So I started a rebuild from planet.osm. Planet is now large enough that it takes several days to do a complete rebuild. However, since Brett had also fixed the UTF-8 bug in the Osmosis hourly diffs it was also worth doing the rebuild to get rid of all those UTF-8 problems that had been introduced. So now we have a fresh clean Osmxapi database with no UTF-8 problems (I hope). Enjoy 80n
