Is that better?

[Griffin NoName]

Yes, all better. Fantabuloso!

[Opsa]

Looking good, Duje. It's a little slower (maybe that's just my machine), but I think it's all here. Thank you.

[Bluenose]

Are we there yet?

[Griffin NoName]

I'm here

Hi All,

At least it's running... 

Thanks,
MB

For the past few days I've been having issues with the site, time outs, and general errors. I'm assuming I'm not the only one experiencing those, and that Dreamhost (nightmarehost?) is to blame.

Should we consider a different hosting company?

[Griffin NoName]

Dreamhost is only temporary isn't it? I was assuming MB  would be rehosting at some point.

I've been having some not connectings - but I thought it was my modem or something. When I reset the modem, the site comes back. Slightly odd in that it is ONLY Dreamhost that it affects, as I am able to access other sites when it happens, but I did think it was possible they were banning my IP for some reason. It always seems to coincide with copying files in windows explorer so I also thought Vistaaaaargh might be implicated but that is possibly a red herring. My laptop is misbehaving to such an extent I cannot tell what is what at all.

I'm having trouble finding a place to put my server so I thought I would try DreamHost Private Server.  I thought we were on it already but I guess not.  Our server at DreamHost is Pizarro and it is being a little flaky.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Is it possible to ask them to move the account to a different server?

And when you say 'a place to put my server' are talking about colocation? Because I know first hand how expensive that is.

[ivor]

I'm sure all DreamHost servers are as screwy as Pizarro.  I'm putting the Monastery on DreamHost Private Server so hopefully that will be better and it's not too expensive.

Yes, a co-lo.  I had the server at my house in Floriduh, but I don't live there any more.   There's no hope of getting FiOS in Oklahoma and the server is just too noisy for my Brother in Texas.  There's no way I could swing a real co-lo.

[Sibling Chatty]

IS this something Dan and I could do? Provide space, I mean... I wouldn't know FiOS from fleas, but if "it" just needs a place to sit and be noisy, we HAVE that here.

[ivor]

Oh!  Thanks for the offer Chatty.

It needs a little air conditioning and there has to be FiOS available right there at your house.  The FiOS is paid for and I have a battery back up.  It will run up your electric bill a bit.  It's a great heater in the winter!

Well, we have the window units, and I don't tolerate heat well, so we keep it cool.

Hmmm, if we put it in the closet we could hang the tobacco above it to cure!! Or in the mini-house with Dan's ham radio stuff and that window unit. (Might have to rewire the mini-house to get enough power to it for everything, but Dan knows how.)
