The newest surebert toolkit is ready but not public yet. However, this means the new server is one step close to launching. I have had it on since I got it, and I am happy to report it is running perfectly - no lemon here. I still can't believe the deal we got.

The New Server ArrivesCategory: server
It finally came today and it seems pretty great. I am going to keep it here a bit and install and test and upgrade, then soon I will swap old the old server and we will be on the new one. Thank you everyone who helped make this possible.
I still can't believe the specs - 2x dual core 3.0 ghz, 2x73 hardware raided 15k drives, 1333mhz front side bus, 4GB of ram, redundant power supply, dual nics.
It was in perfect shape.
It is so quiet that honestly, I think our Xbox is louder.
I can't believe I got it for ~$1800 considering its cost for the same exact specs if I bought it on the Dell site right now $6,000+
I transfered ownership on the Dell website for the warranty and service plan which runs through 2010.

TrafficCategory: estrip
Here at estrip we usually get about 500 unique real visitors coming from javascript enabled browsers. But recently the number started to climb close to 1,000. Its weird there are no new very exceptional referrers and most traffic is still coming from google or direct.
This last month we had 23,000 visitors.
Imagine if there were some other incoming links. Anyone have any they could put up somewhere, there estrip link code on the front page of the site.
The only out of the ordinary referrer is a google images search for britney spears pussy. Which brings my journal even with adult content filtering on. But that only counts for 3% of visitors. Which is only 30 out of 1000. Although, I still can't believe we rank so high for it. Check it out or try for yourself
. Look at (e:mike) in there, lol.
We are on a general upward trend. Here we are since last April when I started tracking with google analytics.

That's really interesting.
I have a sort of unofficial policy of not linking to (e:strip) out of the mistaken belief that it's my only blog that's still kind of secret, but I know that's not even remotely reasonable to believe. I should probably just link to it. But I think most of the people that would come read it do anyway. ;)

I know that my church's website counts go way up when I comment on popular conservative Christian blogs. They follow all of my links to investigate just what kind of heretic I am. I have estrip listed as my blog, and I have posted recently, so I'll bet I brought a few extra hits.

Bought the New Server - $1869Category: server
We got us a Dell 1950 server with:
2 x 73GB 15k SAS drives Raid - upgradeable to 1TB
2 x 3.0 GHz dual core xeons - upgradeable to Quad core
4GB ram - upgradeable up to 32GB
1333 mhz front size bus
redundant power
RHEL certified
Small form factor - although as Ajax pointed out this doesn't matter for us, unless we are in a rack someday.
4 hours of onsite service from dell before Jan 2008
4 more hours of onsite service from dell before jan 2010
gold service warranty till 2010
Best of all it all comes from one place to my house and I already paid for it. With shipping it came to $1,869. Selling the vaio laptop for (e:ladycroft) or (e:drew) will defray the cost. If anyone else didn't donate and still wants to, feel free - I am going to leave the message up for a bit.

Woohoo! Hooray for new (old) computer stuff!
Btw... this is a small thing - but you've got everyone else's userpic next to their donation on the donation page... but for mine, it just has my name. :( lizabeth = Elizabeth Williamson

Congratulations!
I would have built my own, because to me, computers are like cars. I love tinkering with my boxes (I've got 4 running right now, all built by me). These days you can get a good deal from NewEgg :::link::: .
In fact, I'll be building a new box soon, and will go for a quad-core with 2GB of memory.

No worries, with no health insurance for another 40 days, I might need installments
