Author Topic: Downtime and new servers Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-30-2003 11:58 AM                        Scott just called and told me that he loves Windows and was the one who told Brad he should switch. Then he hung up. Actually I think Scott works for Microsoft in the OS development team. By the way, the new server seems to be running the forum much more quickly.  |  IP: Logged Matt Hale Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Vancouver, Canada Registered: Dec 2002 posted 05-30-2003 12:46 PM                        Out of curiosity, what was the old server? And what is it now? Cant say I've noticed the forum being any faster since, but my connection is pretty clogged anyway. btw great job on getting it back up so quickly...I hardly experienced any withdrawl symptoms at all!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-30-2003 01:57 PM                     The old server (Xenon) is going to be troubleshooted and repaired, then put back online as a backup...or if the foolish desire to use VI ever arises. The first Windows server on the line was called "Intermittent", mostly for Scott's giggles. However it has been far from intermittent in operation. It has been running nice and steadily without problems, so I'm not too worried about it. Plus there is no stupid VI with it. The current server that the forums are running on is called Brain. I chose that name for Steve. It is definitely running faster. Hey Scott, did I ever mention how annoying VI is?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

When did that happen? If Scott gets a server for giggles I want to have a Novell server!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-30-2003 04:50 PM                     Nope, there are FOUR NT servers running. You've only pleasured two of them. I thought you wanted a dts server?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-30-2003 05:34 PM                        Brad needs to get himself some real computers. I am very tempted to send him a VAX (well, it's actually just a wimpy desktop VAXstation, but it's still a VAX) running NetBSD just so that his mind doesn't become too polluted with Win32 nonsense and crappy PC hardware. Oh, and the speed increase is probably due to the fact that the new hardware is apparently singificantly faster than the old hardware and isn't likely to be the result of the OS change.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-30-2003 05:49 PM                     Uh huh, and this coming from the guy who said a 486 would be plenty? You're just jealous because you know how much Windows rocks!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-30-2003 05:56 PM                  VAX's suck! If you want a REAL computer, I know where there is an IBM 1020...it's stored right next to the Univac 3E. The Univac needs some new 6L6-GT's and 12AU7's.... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 05-30-2003 07:37 PM                        Are my pictures working yet? <<< I guess not Josh  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-30-2003 07:45 PM                  Yeah! And what about all my pictures? AND Rachel's? GEEZE! Yous sure are slow getting it all together! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-30-2003 07:56 PM                     I sent Brad a new picture like 29375204398302948 times!!!! He's sooooo slow!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-30-2003 08:57 PM                        Close enough to Saturday and I don't believe in e-mailing directly so here goes: Josh's and Paul's pics don't work. I like this best out of all the new features that the new servers offer. Now I don't have to look at them anymore! Woo hoo! But whenever I enter a thread where one of them has posted, I get a pop-up error (IE for Mac) since the CGI script isn't working. No big deal. But I still demand it be fixed before I am done typing this.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-30-2003 09:03 PM                     The new servers are awesome, nothing beats Windows!!! Windows and THX RULE THE WORLD!!!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-30-2003 09:28 PM                     We could reinitiate your rotating picture script if you like Joe. In fact, if you want, I could reinitiate your rotating pictures beside Rachel's posts.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-30-2003 09:34 PM                  That would be cool Brad. As a matter of fact, I think you should rotate and intermix Joe's, Rachel's, Paul's, Josh's and my pics with eachother...that way no one will be able to know who to yell at or who's slamming whom. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged
