Build is completed, well for the most part. They ran out of RAM, so built it with half the RAM so we could start the migration. I should note that half the RAM on the new server is still more RAM than the current server. Other things to make it more kick ass is the inclusion of SSD drives in a RAID1 configuration. Smarter people than me tell me it's going to make the site fly.
The migration my friends, is underway. At some point, I'll have to shut down the old server and only allow posting on the new server. Think of it as a 'change of address'. During that time, your local ISP might still be delivering you to the old server. You'll know you've hit the old server when you cannot post -- since I'll be closing up the old server to avoid any lost posts.
In other site news, I might be making some changes to the blog. Been doing some testing on
everythingWM and
everything Android. The templates there are allowing for super fast loading page. It also pushes a full version of the site to iPhones, iPads that doesn't look terrible and isn't a limited mobile version. Still tweaking some things there before committing to anything on the big site -- that would here.
