Downtime, at some point
« on: June 26, 2006, 11:04:22 pm »
At some point (likely on the weekend, but maybe earlier, maybe later) I'm going to have a little downtime.  If all goes smoothly, it'll be brief. 

The reason is that I bought a new computer and I plan to migrate everything to it. 

I plan to retire darkside and Pie.  They've served me well, but I'd rather have it all on the same system.  The new computer will be named either "Vimes" or "Vetinari", and will basically just run VMWare.  I'm going to have several VMWare instances for different uses.  I'll have one specifically for web, another specifically for database, and one for test.  I'm also considering giving an individual instance to friends, for them to play with. 

I'm really looking forward to this change, it'll be nice to consolidate everything. 

And incidentally, I've decided to go with a naming theme: Pratchett.  :)

Interested in selling either darkside or Pie, or perhaps even both?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

400MHz processor, 40gig HD. 256?MB RAM.

I think they're rather close together in specs.

If he's going to run VMWare, I expect it to far surpass the old ones. =p

I'd prefer to keep the parts from the old ones. 

And the new one:
Intel P4 thingy, 3.2ghz
1gb ram (I'm going to grab another 1gb today)
250gb harddrive
Onboard video/sound

I bought a cheap case, so it's pretty ugly, but I'll take a picture anyways.

Since running a webserver takes no cpu/ram, the bottleneck is the Interweb connection speed.  Since that's not changing, no, there won't be a speed improvement.

No, but running MySQL Queries all day takes CPU usage.

Not enough to matter with a website this size...

Yeah, it's not a significant amount. 

On a sidenote, I was also looking at commercial packages from my ISP, which would allow me to do static ip, email, proper DNS, and other stuff.  I don't want to commit to anything yet, but it looks promising.

Cool!  Also, I noticed my router had an interface to automatically update DynDNS with an IP address.  It's a linksys router.  Just thought I'd throw that out there too. :)
