Shh… it’s Friday.

Well another week has gone by, mildly productive week, lots of mini-distractions (which were nice) and various other things going down in the realm of “The Project” just getting some discussion out there, not a TON, but it’s moving, so that’s something I suppose.

Fun stuff this week Blockbuster announced its new Total Access system, so instead of returning your Blockbuster Online Rentals via Mail, goto your local “Total Access” store and drop em off, and get a free rental for each - wicked cool, I returned my 3, got 3, and 2 days later after the 3 I returned cleared, I got 3 more. So I have 6 DVD’s in house, all new releases - and 2 free rental coupons still sitting on my desk, now thats crazy good stuff.

Server Migration Round 2 - finished up today, getting the last stragglers off the old server, migrated to the new, still some minor blips as some stuff is going to the old server, so I have been pushing a few DNS updates by hand across NS1/NS2 - but NS1 will change tonight, and should (says a prayer) allow the old server to be shut down by Saturday Night - I am doing similar stuff soon - but the big news for server stuff is “Friends Server!” got a HUGE donation from the kMan:

• P4 - 2.6ghz (or maybe 2.8 - it was late)
• 2GB of RAM
• 2 - 300GB Drives (SATA)
• CD-ROM (I think it’s a burner, but if not, I’m going to get a DVD burner for archiving backups)

So very easily a friend server, and as time goes on I do want to add some sort of NAS/Backup system on it, and have the system nightly rsync to it, so we have a mirror of things, but that is down the line, now I simply have to buy a copy of cPanel, Installatron, and get the ball rolling probably this time next week - so much to do though - but should help clean up the business servers, and get things on them limited to paying customers only.

I am doing well though, still working towards the goal of Mac’n it with a laptop, but just going slow, as it is nearing the holiday season, don’t want to blow my Christmas present budget on myself - but we shall see how that all goes - but I do have a plan for FH, sadly with most stuff, I am looking at launching first of the year, which should have me with a firm server setup, firm new upgrade options (anti-spam, storage, etc) and much more.

Sooo - that’s my blip on the radar, friends are still welcome to donate some $$$ to the server fund, helps cover software costs, as well as possibly a 10mbps x 10mbps line at the office (mmm bandwidth) - so much up in the air, so many awesome possibilities, I just need a nap. But instead I’m going to go find lunch.
