    Mad cow disease

    nugget

    :: 01-Apr-2004 09:51 CST (Thursday) ::

    Since the delivery timeline on the Dual Opteron box we ordered keeps
    slipping and we realize that it's crucially important that we gets stats
    back up and running in a reasonable timeframe, I've just cancelled the
    order on the Opteron box. We all decided it would make more sense to buy a
    machine locally so we wouldn't have to wait for shipping delays.

    This morning I headed over to CompUSA and picked up a nice eMachines
    Minitower. Since we'd lose the 90 days of telephone support if we
    installed FreeBSD on the box, we're just going to stick with Windows ME
    which was preinstalled on the machine.

    As soon as I've had a chance to get Access installed we should be ready to
    start serving up stats again. Thanks again, everyone, for your patience
    through this unexpected downtime. I'm excited about getting something up
    and running now instead of just waiting for that other box!

    (By the way, does anyone know the proper modem initialization string for
    the eMachines winmodem? I need to get the box online asap)

    I'm having fun!!! I'm just not sure if it's net fun or gross fun.
