Our Server

Our server
It lives at your place
Let’s move it now
Through hyperspace

Well microwave links
They flutter and sput
Let’s move it again
To the server farm hut

Connections
Are more certain now
And download speeds
you know are like Wow!

One hopes

(with apologies to those that shave)

The image server is down down down.

Friday, December 2nd, 2005
OMIGAWD! The image server is down down down. The impact on Middle-Fork is total, and Far Cartouche will lack pictures but not the babble.

The good news is that it’s moving to a hardened location, and will be back up later today.

System status is optimistic.

UPDATE: 0400 UT: The systems are back up and the identity crisis is starting to fade. I’m not yet able to load images, but other IPs are hitting the site, and as far as the log can tell me, receiving image files.

I have today’s picture all ready, but there seems to be a difference between middle-fork.org (connects quickly) and www.middle-fork.org (gets lost in the ozone)

I hallucinated that Patience was one of the Three Sisters, but so far we only have Faith, Hope, and Charity. The new bulge will probably be Patience one of these days. Just hold onto your horses!
