super-good!

I’ve changed hosting again. I don’t have any specific complaints about Steelpixel, though it seems that the IP of my machine here at work was blacklisted from reaching my hosted server. Also, not having direct control of the machine was fairly annoying, so I’m now using a virtual host through Slicehost.

I like how Slicehost lets you pick your favorite distro and it images it for you in a few minutes. Slick!

My formerly trusty server gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago, and my friends and I figured it was time to move on to hosted service.

So the old server’s on its way to the ACCRC, and I’ve relocated to Steelpixel. So far things are looking good over here, though I do have to get used to not being able to do whatever I want to the server. I am a control freak.

So the hard drive in our web server died, bringing super-good with it. Naturally, none of us – sysadmins all – bothered to back the machine up, so I’ll be having a grand old time patching things back together for the next couple of days. Huzzah!

Oh, IBM DeskStar, how much bad frowniness have you wrought during your unholy reign?
