Just a little note to let everyone know that we're planning to replace iHub's webserver on May 6th and also move its existing webserver to adserver duties, and add some big hard drives to the adserver's database server to give us copious space for backups, log files, etc.

For the technoids among you, it's a noticeable, but not huge increase in horsepower for iHub. Its current dual-Xeon 3.06Ghz box (Dell 2850) is getting replaced with an 1850 with a pair of 3.8Ghz Xeons. The new box has Windoze Web Server 2003 on it, so we'll have the platform in place for our eventual rewrite in ASP.NET.

The adserver that'll be replaced with iHub's current 3.06 duallie webserver is a beige box I bought in 2001 that has a single 1.9Ghz processor in it. It was a fire-breather in its day. It'll be a door stop or maybe an extra computer for the office now.

There will likely be outages, but by all rights they should be extremely short. In a perfect world, no outages would be perceived by anyone except for people possibly having to log back in suddenly if they're not using cookies. But it's not a perfect world, so who knows what'll happen...

The only extended outage I foresee is the adserving system being down long enough for me to install a couple of 500-gig drives in its database server. That should only take minutes, then things are likely to be a bit on the slow side ad-wise while those monsters are formatted.
