Bring out your dead!

BUT I’M NOT DEAD. I’M FEELING BETTER. I FEEL HAPPY! I FEEL HAPPY!

The site is back from the dead.

It has been a long time since I’ve done anything with the site. Realistically, it hasn’t been available most of the time because of failing connections between apache and tomcat. I never really had time to check it to make sure it was up.

Anyways, I had been running the site on a server I rented from 1and1.com. I never had any problems, but the server was ancient. 1.7ghz celeron processor, 256mb of RAM and a 40 gig hard drive. A few weeks ago dell had a sale on some of their low end servers and I picked one up. 2Ghz dual core intel processor, 4GB of RAM and an 80 gig drive for $299. Picked up two terabyte drives and threw those in as in RAID 1. Changed my cable account so I could have a static ip and run servers. Shazam, the site is back.

I’m going to try and do a better job keeping up with things and keeping them up to date. Still have some work to get it to where I’d like it.
