Today, I am very excite to take a field trip (!!) to a datacenter (!!!) with some most excellent folks from Greenhost (DrWhax and Sacha!!!). We will be racking a server and installing an OS on it, and getting it ready to be a new Bridge Authority to replace Tonga.
So… it actually wasn't to the datacenter, but merely to the darkened basement server room of the Greenhost offices, which Sacha described as "the nicest office in the building!"
I've set up the server, bought two new harddisks and configured RAID, installed an OS on it, and done some preliminary hardening. The server should go to the datacenter early next week, and then we can start the transition. It looks like everything should happen well before the 31 August deadline, so the apocalypse has been averted and there's little reason to freak out.
Best regards,
