Well then… g33k stuff

Ok, managed to do some backend work on the site, and now have things on a new updated server. Last server was really old, I mean old… like 12.04LTS old.Β Think that is 2-3 back of the long term releases, and end of life was April 2017.Β  πŸ™
Also converted the Wedding site to a static one, since I don’t modify it anymore, it was a very dated WordPress build…Β  and there wereΒ  issues migrating it to the new server, come to think of it, I had issues last time too. πŸ˜•

So yeah,
Started this over Christmas, and wanted to try some new things out with hardware, and the layout of the network. A few hiccups, have popped up, so some revisions had to be made, and shortcuts… short cutted?!?! (that’s a thing…)
Time to invest into big setups is not something I have anymore, but needless to say I am trying for virtualized environment. this is something I have had before, but the hardware at the time wasn’t what I have now. Still thinking about swapping the host OS out, but see what I can come up with. Also need to get the other VM setup, so I can drop the old server altogether, and wipe it… and do something else with it…

Old habits die hard. πŸ˜‰

Dad seems to be doing OK, txt’ed with mom, I wanted to Skype/Facetime this weekend, but time got away from us… me… I’ll be honest πŸ™„

That was fast

5 years have flew by fast….
Just a heads up to anyone that might have made their way to the site and found it unavailable this morning, I ended up letting the domain expire, but not to worry I’m going to be around for another 5 years at least.

Had a bit of a oops this morning and lost databases since Febuary… πŸ™
Measures have been taken to so this doesn’t happen again.

Oh well, live and learn.

New server

I managed to get my new server up with all the bells and do-dads-things…
Amazing what you can do without WoW and work.

That’s it, just thought I’d let you know, the continuation of the trip will be up soon.

Things be a changing

As you see things are changing… and how you like it. πŸ™‚
This is going to be one of those things I’ll be working on over time, hopefully I can get things running the way I want in a respectful amount of time.
Over the next few weeks the site might be up and down, and speed might be slower then the norm because the site is running from a differnt slower/older system I’ll be doing my darnest to get the fresh server up in it’s place as quick as possible.

Over and Out
