If you find your gaze fixed to the screen, reading this text, then you’re reading it served from our totally awesome new upgradified server.
How upgradified is it, you ask? I’m glad you did. It’s exactly one hojillion times faster. Now that’s precision.
You may or may not recall the old setup. For the non-nerds, I point out that we are officially speed-hole free!
For the nerds: it was a converted POS Gateway-brand machine with 384MB of RAM, about 15GB of 8+ year-old RAID-5 SCSI disks, and a sub-GHz P3. Our new system has 1GB of RAM (upgradeable to 4GB), 160GB of space via a 4-80GB-disk SATA RAID-5 array with one hot spare, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz processor. Woo!
PS: Guh, I was just interrupted whilst writing this post by a software developer - a person who works with computers all day, every day - because she couldn’t figure out “how to make the internet work.” Her first problem? She plugged the phone cord into her laptop. Terrific.
Heh, that’s one of those questions that the second it leaves the asker’s lips they instantly wish they had a gun so they could shoot themselves.
Nice to see that some of the future architects of the internate age are idiots.
One hojillion times faster? Wow… move over Moore’s law, here comes mokiejovis!
That’s all well and good, but is the kegerator still there? I mean, for debugging purposes of course…
What kind of drivewaay to the Intenet Superhighway do you have?
Hey, we’re developers, we don’t DO hardware…
(Well, I do, but that’s because I was a hardware weenie before I became a developer. Ssssh, don’t tell anyone… they’ll revoke my secret handshake…)
No new pictures? WTFjovis!@!#!
