I just moved this site to a new server I assembled … It is an AMD Sempron 2500+ with 512M of DDR RAM (I think it’s DDR, whatever the really really fast stuff is … SDDR?) … I had been loading various things on it for a while, and I decided just to leave it as my development server … The server where I will throw all the sites I design and manage … In the process I upgraded this blog software as well … ‘Two birds’ is it? Another reason is this site is my default home page, and I was getting tired of the wait … I need things lightning fast, don’t you? This is my first AMD in a while … I used to be really big on them until I started hosting … Figured I needed to be all Intel and Microsoft … I have found that the monetary amount doesn’t reflect the production of the product … It’s a FreeBSD 5.3 Server … Command line all the way baby … Took me a while to get PHP fired up and working right … They port it different in the 5.x versions of BSD … But I’m still on Apache 1 and PHP 4 … I figure I could try to go to Apache 2 sometime later … With all the people saying it’s fine, there are plenty that say it isn’t … and when I initially brought it up, I installed Apache 2 and PHP 5 and things didn’t work immediately … So I bagged it and went back to what I was used to, enough to up the op/sys … this guy has a 160G drive in it … I have gotten the emails from Charlie and the drive has 0% used … too funny … I bought the 160 cause the game server’s HD took a dive … Instead of throwing the 160 in there, I put the 40 I was using messing with this Sempron … So the Sempron has the 160G drive and FreeBSD 5.3 and that’s where it will stay …
All this free time working with Octane has given me the opportunity to do these upgrades … plus I am making better money that I can put out for hardware and such things … Getting to be back like the old days … I even finished HL2 and have been playing Counter-Strike again … Ah, to feel like a person again … The drone of the house system was good, but way too life sucking …
