For any of you wondering, I haven't updated my server content for over 2 years. On top of that, it has been running on software which is now 8 years old, and it has been showing signs of death. Java processes would randomly core dump, PHP and Apache would seg fault, complaining about memory access problems.
So I popped in MemTest86, and ran some numbers. There were thousands of memory errors, thus I figured it was time to retire the hardware. The site you see now, has a brand new motherboard, Intel Core Duo CPU, and new RAM. It is sporting a lovely new Linux OS, updated databases, and web servers. Part of that work is setting up this BLOG - so ... while we are here ... WELCOME.
Looking at the blog software as I edit this, I have no idea what tags and keywords are used for, or how they will help me. Going to have to do some reading.
I still need to arrange the internal URI structure, as well as get the DNS server up & going. Eventually this post will find it's way out to the internet.
