Our server is now in its new home, and pretty much operational. Goodie goodie.

Luckily, the move was about as smooth as smooth can be. I met scott in $undisclosed_location_1, where we removed Hydrogen from its old spot. Never to return there again. Cheers all around.

We made our way across town, and found the new cabinet waiting for us at $undisclosed_location_2. While we were figuring out the physical logistics, Jaeger arrived on the scene. He helped us get the server situated, we changed the IP in all the appropriate files, and were up and running.

After we were done, scott declared it the smoothest server transition in company history. scott took us out to eat at a nice italian place, where there was much rejoicing.

Later, after arriving back here, I did discover a rather annoying problem with the jabber daemon, but that was likely due to an earlier upgrade (which had happened without the daemon being restarted), and only showed its face now because of the reboot.

Unfortuantely, the bitscape.org domain is still not yet visible to most of the world, and it may take a bit of time before the dns works again. My research indicates that this problem will not affect most of our customers, which is a good thing. (It has to do with the ns2 record not being set at the registrar for this domain. This only seems to be the case with bitscape.org, and perhaps a couple other sites owned by buildmeasite insiders. It should fix itself within a day or so, or I could bug scott to give me the login info to change the record at the registrar and add a second nameserver. Maybe I'll do that when he discoveres that jabber works again.)

Meanwhile, the month of March looks like it could be quite busy at this pseudo-job of mine. I certainly hope so, because (1) I'm tired of being shit poor, and (2) prolonged idleness tends to take its tole on the soul after a while.

We're off to a promising start at least. Long live the business ventures of the legendary scottgalvin.com.
