welcome to
spectre, our new E2
web server. It's a
dual PIII 733mhz with
a gig of RAM -- compared to our old server,
sebastian, which was a dual
PII 266.
In addition, spectre
firewalls our new
database server, its identical
twin, named
hillgiant.
Thanks for making it through all those VA Linux banner ads, guys. (And thanks to VA Linux!) The speed should make it worth it.
A note on speed improvements: since the database info is going through a
switched fast ethernet, those of you on T1s may actually recieve slightly
slower pages than you were used to during off-peak hours. However, we should
be able to handle much more traffic on-peak -- and avoid those nasty 15+ second
pageload times.
msg nate if you are experiencing (more than the normal amount of)
inconsistencies and errors. But please be patient, we hope to work the kinks
out ASAP.
PS You will probably have to Login again until the DNS
servers are updated.
