Server Update

Of no interest to anybody but me … but this is at least one way for me to record when this occured!

For the last few years this site has been running on an old Athlon 1800 PC. I have progressively added more disk to this box via external USB drives, primarily to handle our music, movies and music … all of which has, of course, been legally acquired by ripping our own media. Adelaide United were champions this season as well!

I think this must be about 6 years old now … basically if I had to get rid of it I would probably give it away, it’s worth nothing. With a bit of back pay coming my way this week as a result of the new public service pay agreement (not as much as the freakin’ teachers are going get though I might add) I figured I might invest in a new PC to act as a srver for us.

JB-HiFi had on special a HP machine with a E5300 Core Duo processor, 2Gb of RAM and a 500Gb hard drive, along with windows 7, for $570 … no screen of course but then the server machine runs headless here anyway. Basically I couldn’t leave it in the shop.

Last night I set it up and now you are viewing this site, along with Unley Rangers and Wittwer Motors from it.
