Behind the scenes

Life often has surprising twists and turns.

I had hoped to post more new material in the last few months, but we ran into major web-server problems (both hardware and software) involving multi-hour and then multi-day outages. By the time the site was hit with the second major outage, I decided to take the time to put a more robust web-server infrastructure in place.

We now have a new server as the main one for the site. We also have a backup server that we can switch to should there be problems on the main server. In the process, I learned a lot more about server administration than I ever thought I would!

I won’t tempt fate by claiming those issues are now all in the past, but I’m feeling good enough about the new setup that I’m happily turning my attention back to generating new content for the site.
