Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

I decided that one of the things I would do during "winter break" was to upgrade the hardware that bluesock.org sits on. There were a couple of minor issues, but otherwise the upgrade has gone very very smoothly. This time around, I'm writing up a massive "everything about this server" document. I think I may build a template out of it since it's the sort of thing that would be useful for other machines I have. It's much easier to deal with all the machines when I have an accounting of what went into them.

Anyhow, bluesock.org now has twice the oomph. Unfortunately, "upgrade bluesock" took several days to do, but it was only a single item in my todo list of around 25 items. I need to start adding items like "pat yourself on the back" and "take a nap" to my todo list--items that don't take too long to do and aren't as torturous when you look at a list of 25 of them.
