New Day, New Server

MuNu moved to a new server today, which was as much fun as you could expect from moving a hundred web sites and all their attached files and databases and software. It all seems to be fairly happy on the new server, at least, and we have twice the power of the old server which makes it nice and responsive. Of course, my internet connection is being kind of sucky just now, but I could feel the speed on the forums earlier.

top, the little Unix utility which shows you what's running on your system (it gets that name because it shows the top n programs by the amount of CPU they're eating up) is kind of amusing on this machine. Because it's a dual hyper-threading-enabled Xeon system, it shows up as four CPUs, and top adds up the percentage figures for each CPU, so right now it's telling me that the system is 367% idle. I know that feeling!

Oh, and we've gone through five gigs of bandwidth already. Pretty busy for a Sunday.

1 Yay! (Now put up a Pay Pal button, Sweetie, or Amazon Honor System or some other tip jar. Most Munuvians are conservatives or libertarians who like to pull their own weight!)

You don't want to make me angry, do you? You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

2 COOL!!! (translation; I really don't understand most of what you are talking about but it sounds good and I'm thankful for all you have done.)

3 Yay for Pixy!

Seconding Susie's request for some tangible way to show our thanks.

I understood your first paragraph but not the second but if you say something is amusing I'll concur because Pixy Is Always Right.

4 Surely there are some intra-processor bandwidth limitations such that a fudge factor should be applied to the first products of that summing.
