You did not miss it. I am sure GB will tell us what happened once the site is fully operational.

What ever it was, they made some improvements when they fixed it. At least on my PC, this site is running at lightning speed.

I heard they had to replace the TRS-80 that they were using as a server.

They replaced it with an array of 12 Commodore 64s wired in series.

Only 450 users at the moment.  Give it a while, it'll slow down [;)].

Well, there's another problem.  Connecting them in parallel would increase operating speed by sharing workload.  Run them in series and you are still bottlenecked to the C64 single processor speed.  [;)]

Main page boys.

We had problems with some of our network hardware and we'll be putting in the new replacments this week. We also took some time this evening to update some software across all the servers.

Seems like there's always something around the corner to knock you down and we apologize for the outage this past week.

On a brighter note, we have a pair of new servers going in to replace existing ones. The older servers will be retasked for the upcoming archive functions. (We'll try to get to those this weekend if possible!) We're also looking into a change in network lines to avoid some of the issues we've seen this year. A nice clean rebuild of the entire network would be a nice way to start 2004.

I'm glad it's running faster for somebody. It does run faster for me on occasion. Other times it just takes a dump and I have to reload the site. Oh well, it's good to be home none the less. Nice to see everyone again. I'm not going anywhere. [beer]
