Hooray! In case you’re just joining our adventure, I announced in March that Lupinia would be moving to a co-located dedicated server. There were many reasons for this decision, including poor support from our current host, flaky email system, and a large number of limitations on the current site. Due mostly to my own screw-ups, this project fell grossly behind schedule several times, and I wouldn’t blame many of you if you considered this to be vapour-ware.

But, I’ve managed to pull through, and this project is finally on track! The server arrived today, and I installed the new hard drives. I’ve also acquired almost all of the software, I’m just waiting on an Ebay seller to ship the OS. I’m also not going about this by myself anymore, either; and I will be co-administrating the server, and will be applying his expertise as our network security administrator.

Here’s a picture (click on it for the full gallery):

This freaking rocks.

I posted about this in lupinia_status, but I’m posting about it here, too, so everyone will know what’s going on. My current web host is having major email issues, leaving me unable to receive or send messages from my lupinia.us email accounts. So, if you’ve sent me anything since the beginning of the week, please re-send it.

This comes right after I’ve acquired the last of the necessary funds to start the transition to the new server, so I’ll be rolling that out as fast as I possibly can.

While looking at the site of a local business offering “web design”, I looked at the source, and saw this (emphasis mine).

<meta name=”Generator” contenet=”Notepad”>

Not only did he bother to create a Generator meta tag for Notepad, but he misspelled the attribute. [redneck-voice]I tell you what, that’s some good web designin’ right there[/redneck-voice]

Real post some other time, I do realize I’ve been neglecting my LJ.
