Funny thing just happened.... [see bottom for summary]
I'm sitting in my room reading, minding my own business, when all the lights went out. "Great!" I think, and I plug my usb light into my laptop. I then help my mom find candles. I mean, at 2am, who'd be asleep?
Anyway, we get that all going, I'm enjoying reading by usb-light (kinda like reading by flashlight, except heavier), and the lights come back on. I was kind of upset, because that normally means I have to go start Darkside back up, lest I get yelled at in the morning.
So I fight with him to boot (he's always been a bitch), and finally he boots. I run mysql and httpsd just fine. Then I run javaop, and it won't connect. "Fine," I think, "my router is mad". So I switch over to Slayer, who works just fine. I do a "ifconfig -a" on Darkside, no network cards. I turn him off, pull it out, clean it, fight with him to boot, and still no network cards. "Hmm!" I think, "I don't want to leave the site offline!"
So, after seconds of sleepy pondering, I figured it out. I yanked out Darksides harddrive, and stuck it in Pie. I also stuck Pie's harddrive in Darkside, but he's turned off.
The bottom line is, Darkside's specs have changed:
old --> new
266mhz --> 433mhz
256mb ram --> 64mb ram (I'll fix that tomorrow)
So yeah, this is kinda weird. I don't know how I feel about swapping the harddrive (and, therefore, names) of my computers. I'm going to dig out another NIC tomorrow and get the original Darkside running, but I'm going to put some stuff onto Pie (web, in particular). Darkside will continue to be a "test" box, like it was originally intended, and Pie will be the production box.

I put Darkside's brain into Pie's body.
