Hey guys!

More good news!!! So the new server center located in my basement in a dedicated room is almost ready!!! The internet line is here blazing at 80M down and 17M up for the website!! (Right now we only have 10MB up) I have installed 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits for the server and all networking equipment. The server runs on 2 plugs, so this ensures redundancy circuit wide. I also installed a 30A generator circuit which is NOT hooked up quite yet. In the mean time, extension cords work.

I also got my office all wired up with a hard wired battery backup that will also be in the server room.

This entire project cost $325 + $365 for the new router + 2, 18 hour, solid days of work, which isn't bad compared to the builders who wanted $2500. I'm not asking for donations as I've already paid for everything but if you are feeling generous, you know the address.

I am planning to get the server over here very very shortly. I'm thinking late Wednesday or Thursday after I verify that this line is reliable. There will be approximately 4 - 8 hours of downtime overnight and the site won't be available while this happens. The static IP has changed because the location changed. Nothing I can do about that except re-program the DNS to reflect the new IP's

Some pictures are attached too! No, my desk/monitor situation is NOT complete

I wish I could get that kind of speed in my area.

OUCH! This is why I'm hosting LOL

Shoot,I tried the speed test. Download was .19 and upload timed out,so yea my internet sucks.

Good grief!!! Are you on dial up!?

I think it's smoke signals....

Mine is supposed to be 12mb down. I tested it over wifi...I know I have had 11.xx before.
.I'm am 3 blocks from the telco switching station.

The server move went good last night! Started around 11:30AM. Got it all moved over and hooked up right away and was propegated for the most part by 1:30AM. Here is a picture of the server center BETA .90



The top server in that stack of 3 is the current one, with the old ones under it LOL.

More work will commence today. Waiting for a new hammerdrill to come via USPS to aid with the concrete drilling...

More pictures to come later!

Thanks!

We got major connection problems at this point. The modem they gave me was a used, beat up POS... It crashed several times over the last couple days. Comcast will be here within 2 hours to replace it with a brand new one.

Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause!

Thanks!

3G wireless in the middle of nowhere,in a valley no less.No cell signal most times but it is quiet. There is a lot of nowhere in Minnesota.We live in a campground in a 31 ft trailer.

At least the view makes up for it.
