CardMeeting starting to come back, what an ordeal
Dear CardMeeting users,
We are getting aggravated.
The process of moving to colocation for CardMeeting and building out new servers has been painful. Building out the hardware, installing new-ish linuxes, getting connected with my provider, setting up and installing OS, app server, and system services (named and Linux Firewall) -- it has all been causing me incredible pains.
Obviously, I'm sorry for being out of commission for a whole week. My busy work life and being uprooted during this move have impaired my ability to cope with all the problems.
Woldrich.com and my email are still not up, I figured getting the basic CardMeeting system back up and running was of paramount importance. I should have Woldrich.com back up and running some time this week so that you can flame me for doing such a bad job with system administration. What can I say, I'm doing my best.
So tired ... time to rest.
Thanks again,
David Woldrich
Edit 09/30/2009: Well, I guess I didn't get the geek memo or was too thick to figure it out myself, but my Linux now comes stock with a chroot-jailed BIND installation! I was putting all my DNS configurations somewhere I thought was the default that the system wasn't even looking at! I love Linux and I hate it too. Anyhow, I moved the config, restarted the DNS, and *blammo*: right away the site was running and visible from the net. Whee, ok can I get off this crazy ride now? I'm feeling nauseous.
Gosh what a fiasco, sorry again for the long outage, hope to see you come back soon. --Dave
