I'm 53. ?????ÿ
In other news, and the original topic of this thread, the site was moved and upgraded late last night. ?????ÿ
And seems to be working well - a smooth transition.
Yes.
I flew to Chicago, demanded access to my servers in Chicago, then plugged in a USB drive to "my" RPLS Today server. I downloaded everything and then flew to San Francisco, where I did the same thing but uploaded the USB drive to the new server. All was accomplished late last night while you all were sleeping.?ÿ ?????ÿ
Seriously though, I essentially setup a virtual pipeline from old server to new server, added a temporary maintenance page to the website, then copied everything to the new server through the pipeline. Then I switched the DNS to the new server and tested things. It went much faster than anticipated and (crossing fingers) no problems at all. The new server is quite a bit further away from many of you now, but my options in Dallas were limited and I wasn't going to settle for anything that wasn't on the up and up.
The old server is still sitting there, and I'll keep it available and paying for it for about 30 days. I want to make sure nothing is lost in the move.
I like your story, anyway.?ÿ Everything would have truly been in "the cloud" or clouds that way.
