Back on the Airwaves

I'm finally back on the airwaves, after a database server meltdown as well as a knackered connection.

Our business broadband line went down Sunday past and never got reinstated until Monday evening. Then, a busted motherboard on the database server which powers both this blog and the Fuzzy Orange website meant even more downtime.

As I was recovering on Monday from a serious hangover (Sunday was my 30th birthday) I never got around to things until Tuesday, but I was booked in for meetings up until yesterday ... well, I've only just got around to getting things going again.

Typically this had to happen now, and not in a weeks time when all our new kit from Dell arrives. Four swanky new Quad core servers with 4gb ram that is going to replace the current hardware. Yummy.

All the servers will be running Linux - no more Windows baby - and I'm grinning like a maniac as I'm also awaiting the arrival of my MacBook Pro. The only machine left running Windows natively will be the accountants laptop (for Sage purposes).

Ah, good times.
