SP Happenings #126

It's been a trying week at the SP control tower, that's for sure... The main server's been acting up all week, and I've been keeping close watch over it for days now, trying to figure out what's causing all the problems, but thus far neither tech support nor I have managed to come up with anything conclusive. So, sorry again for the too frequent interruptions in the availability of the site and boards than I would have liked. Unfortunately it seems more and more likely that SP and all our hosted sites are the victims of our own success, and that the server is simply due for another upgrade, at least as far as RAM is concerned. However, as I've recently bought hosting at another location as well, I'll try to relieve our main server of some of the load by moving some of the more easily portable scripts over there. There's really no guarantee that this will be enough, but I won't know until I've tried.

Luckily Blackthorne TA has also contributed some helpful insight and advice, and I'm currently trying out a somewhat changed configuration on the server, which is hopefully going to bear fruit.

Among other happenings, Chevalier's been gone since Monday (latest word from him is that he's due back on Saturday), leaving me with a pile of news to post, which isn't helping with my other workload around here. Though admittedly it's relatively fun if you only do it every now and then like I can afford to these days.

I've also been working on a bunch of other stuff around the site, but since it's not terribly important and I don't feel like writing all about it now (once it goes up it'll be obvious and commented enough), I'll just wrap it up here for the week.

Oh, not to forget... I'll probably get another site content update up before the next SPH. If I can find some time to actually work on it, that is...
