Building Servers and Moving Hosts

Been a busy day. Finally got my parts and such to build my new server here at work, so I’ve been spending all day troubleshooting it all playing nice with each other, getting the RAID array setup properly, etc… . It’s been a barrel of laughs, let me tell ya, as it’s killed my entire day, and I don’t even have the OS installed. Ugh… .

I am still looking for a few more parts, especially a Slotket (a Pentium III Slot 1 to Socket 370 adapter) that will work in a dual CPU configuration on a Tyan Tiger 100 motherboard. If you have the parts, e-mail me your asking price.

On a related tech note, I’m going to probably be moving Web host companies later this week to hopefully resolve some speed issues that have come about on this site as well as the others I host. I’m also looking into redesigning the template for UtterlyBoring.com to make it a little less of an intensive load, but that’ll probably be coming down the line. I’ll keep you posted.
