I am looking at opening it up.  I was considering relocating it to a 
Linode but the 100GB storage is significant.  That's one of the reasons 
I'm thinking that compressed maps would be great - since they are all text 
anyway they compress really well.

The server is currently at my house.  I'll probably open it up as a trial 
but not sure how well it will perform as I'm on DSL.

I think Matthew Giassa's idea of using mice with different characteristics 
would be fantastic.  The world is divided in to several continents so I 
may reserve one for experimentation :)

As we speak the mouse plague is steadily heading south along the road 
towards a major city.

Cheers,

Rob
