[OSM-talk] Osmxapi is up

[80n]

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
