Belgian ticket shop Olympic Games 2012 down

Belgian tickets for the London Olympic games are sold through an online webshop by Suseia.
The sale started last tuesday night, but could not service the load. It was taken off line and restarted the next morning with doubled capacity. After the relaunch it still had problems and produced all kinds of errors in the sales process.
The site is now taken offline for more than a month to correct the problems.
Suseia does not want to disclose the name of the company that built the shop.
According to a tweet by JF Hovinne, a freelancer and working for Vox Teneo, the site was built with Drupal.

Lucene in the cloud (with diamonds)

Solr is now AmazonEC2 ready.
Acquia, the company behind Drupal, is selling Acquia Search, a commercial service based on it.
Another Lucene based server which we've been using, Searchblox, is also available commercially on AmazonEC2.
