New Server…
Somewhere around two weeks from now I am going to be replacing my webserver. I will be moving from the current machine† bornslippy.nuxx.net to the shiny, mostly-new‡ rez.nuxx.net.
Because I will have both servers in place for the time being, I hope to make this transition as smooth as possible. If things go as planned, I will be able to move things over bit by bit without anyone really noticing. As usual, notifications about such work will be posted here, and anyone who I’m hosting should know how to get a hold of me outside of LJ if anything really bad crops up.
With any luck, the new server will provide enough of a performance boost that I’ll be able to run v2 of my favorite Gallery software and that image transformations and such will happen much more quickly. Not to mention SpamAssassin filtering and random DB stuff…
Anyway, yeah. I’m excited. Now I need to get the basement clean so I can get it back on the bench and finish testing it. Right now it’s in the rack burning in…
† Pentium II 450, 384MB RAM, 2x 80GB disks (mirrored), Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 NIC
‡ Dual Pentium III 1 Ghz, 2GB RAM, 2x 120GB disks (mirrored root), 4x 120GB disks (RAID0+1 data volume), Broadcom 5701-based NIC which hands off IP/TCP/UDP checksumming to hardware.
Your gallery software rocks! Of course, I’m partial to it myself…hehe :D
Heh, well, it’s not mine… It’s just the stuff I use. :)
Have you seen v2? It’s really swanky… Much, much more flexible.
Oh, I know it’s not “yours” yours, but you’re the one that introduced me to it, so from that perspective…hehe. :D
I have to check out the new version…can’t wait!
