We bought a new caching module for VBulletin and just installed it. Should help with the load this evening.

And the UPSs shipped out to us today.
So the first of the new hardware is now on it's way to us.

All for the sake of foo foo fluff...

Reminds me of a story that most kid's try and use on their parents..

"I need a job so I can get a car so I can get to work"

We need servers to make up for the fluff so that we can get our speed back. Just sayin' and waitin' and watchin'....

Nope.
We need new servers because the old ones were operating at just below MAX capacity at the end of summer.

The changes we made simply forced the issue to a head 3 months sooner than it would have happened all by itself.

First box of parts arrived today.
Our new KVM cables were the first thing to show up.
Ain't much, but day by day now all of it should start showing up.

Today the our new Load Balancer arrived.
That should make sure that we squeeze every bit of power out of each of the servers.

I can't tell you how happy I was at that surprise.
And then Fed-Ex just called to confirm delivery tomorrow afternoon at 4:30PM.

Now the servers will be here BEFORE the rest of the support hardware.

Either way, we should have it all installed and running by Thanksgiving if at all possible!!

an outhouse is still an outhouse no matter if you put a full roll of paper into it...slide it back over the old hole and more people will use it even in the cold
