Busy times and snowstorms

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Lately I’ve been terribly busy with work and I haven’t been able to do certain things related to the site. These things include re-encoding the Anathema bootleg from Chile as well as re-encoding and uploading Ross’ Audio-files from Scala where Anathema did a gig recently.

Sorry about that guys!

Something totally non-related with the above; Yesterday we had one of the worst blizzards in a long time here in Sweden. At some locations it fell close to and above 1 meter of snow during 24 hours. Shovling snow gets old I tell you ;)

Server-move is… OFF!!!

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

We aren’t moving to a new datacenter anytime soon, as I wrote here.

As most of you visitors come from Europe, I think it is a good idea if the server hosting Soulreaper.net is located in Europe and as close to a central peering point as possible. The current hosting is located in London, so it is “as good as it gets”, network topological-wise.

Further more, the host as well as this host’s net-providers seem to have gotten over their past troubles. There’s been 2 outages related to a switch going down in the host’s datacenter, and then the second outage had to do with the server-host’s netprovider which suffered from a major power outage in the UK-area (the UPS didn’t manage to keep their core network up for the extent of time of the power being out).

I hope that you’ll continue to enjoy the forum, it’s community-feel as well as it’s speed and features!
