Server move completed

Just a quick FYI, the server has moved to it’s new home. DNS is still propagating, but should complete in the next few hours… Anyways a big thanks to Martony, Gabe and Jason who helped out.

Server move (again)

Since staying with Speakeasy DSL isn’t going to work out and I’ll be moving to Comcast, my server needs to find a new home. As luck would have it, I’ve found a new home for my box, so I’ll be moving the server over later this week- probably in the morning hours since the site is so close to work. More details to follow…

Almost there

So after about 3 days of work, the new server (Malbec, which continues my naming convention of alcohol) is now running almost all of the services for my domains. As mentioned before, the new box is very noticeably faster, which was the main goal. It’s most noticeable for the database backed web services which was in some cases too painful to use.

About the only issue so far is getting ISC dhcpd to compile under Leopard. Since I use static IP addresses extensively, it makes alternative solutions pretty painful to use. I’d really like to use bind/dhcp with ddns updates, but I may be a bit too optimistic.

On a side note, WTF is going on with SourceForge? I’ve been trying to download Cricket, but they’ve been having problems for two days now.

New server time…

The current server (1.25Ghz G4 MacMini w/ 1GB of RAM) running all of synfin.net is showing it’s age and limitations, so I’ve bought a new one (2Ghz Core2Duo MacMini w/ 2GB of RAM). Definitely a lot faster, so I’m pretty stoked.

Of course this means that there will be intermittent service over the next few days as services are migrated over and tested. So please bear with me.
