SPWD

Well, after much configuration (still some hiccups) I have the blog running on the new server, in a different location than before to boot. It has taken some doing, and after being down for nearly a week and a half, I have most of my posts salvaged and most of my content salvaged, though there is still some missing. My old server officially died with disk errors being present at boot up on December 10, 2008. I was able to get nearly 3 1/2 years use out of a $125 eBay special. Not bad.

The biggest thing was trying to get things transferred without any backups short of a database backup I made some weeks ago. Essentially, my old server was just that, old and with age comes problems. Needless to say I am now up and running on a pretty decent dual processor based server, with hands-on access to it at anytime should the need arise. My old server was located a 4 hour drive away, and the support costs of having the ISP that was performing the co-lo was going to be exponentially more than it was worth.

If you should notice anything strange or odd, feel free to send me a note about it. You will also notice there are currently no Google ads, or any other advertising at this time. I am still undecided on advertising on the site, since monetizing was never a forefront activity.
