20JUN10 - I was away for 6 months on military duty, and while I was gone, the server had some problems with the hard drives. Upon return, I have replaced them with larger, faster ones. No user data was lost, and disk quotas have been upgraded to 5 gigabytes.
01MAR09 - The Shanock.com server upgrade is mostly done. A few wrinkles left, but all the critical systems are working. Among the major changes are a 64-bit operating system, new processor, more and faster memory, and striping and/or mirroring of all data. See complete specs here.
26FEB09 - I've upgraded my PC, and am hand-me-down'ing my old hardware for a major upgrade to the shanock.com server. Expect the update to take place within a week. I estimate half an hour of downtime, with a number of reboots before and after for configuration tweaks.
