Site Updates

I've been having some fun with the computers lately. A week ago, the GFI outlet that all our servers are plugged into tripped, for no obvious reason. So we were down for most of the day. Then, I decided it was finally time to get started on the server room walls, so I built a 4-foot section of wall and put it up (mostly. it's not quite square. but it's not load bearing, so I don't care.) Then I spent a few days re-wiring everything on the network panel. Buying patch panels. Getting a new firewall. And, finally, upgrading the site to the latest version of Drupal (because the old one had some security problems). I'm only now finally getting everything working.

Plus side: Better web software, soon to have better image support (maybe even with a link to shutterfly to print pics), faster link to the web server (good for me, nobody else will notice). Down side: Still way too much to do, and with a screaming (or, alternately, cute) baby, well, stuff slips. :)

I'll try to put up some pictures of the new server wall sometime, and hopefully I'll get the better photo support running in the next couple of days. But first I have to do all these same updates to my Wynmar site, too….
