No I am not dead. I know I said that I would post more updates soon but didn’t.
There were two problems preventing me from posting. First: I was sick with a bad cold and a sore throat from hell. The cold made my eyes water a lot which made working on the computer pretty hard. (You can imagine how much I enjoyed that…). When I finally started getting better I found that the server hosting suramya.com was having problems. This was the same server which has been having problems all this year and this time I think the RAM and HDD both were failing. To make things interesting mysql kept segfaulting on certain queries, perl segfaulted everytime you ran it. apache refused to run for a long time.
So I built a new machine to replace this one. To make things fun, the cpu fan died on the first system I built. Since I had another spare system available I rebuilt the distro on the second one, but guess what the cpu fan on the second one also died. By this time I was pretty mad so I dissected another computer and put the fan from that one in the new one. Then the machine actually worked.
So After making a mirror of suramya.com on the new server I had to drive to the NY office to replace the old server with the new one. I finally did this about 2 hours ago so as of now suramya.com is back up completely. I did do some work on the new feedback script so expect to see some changes by the end of the week.
Well this is all for now. Will post more later. Thanks for visiting.
