I've finally invested the time and money into setting up a new, better, faster server. The whole reason for upgrading is that the old server's system software was halted at OS X Server 10.1.5. It could not physically be upgraded due to actual hardware limitations and it would have been too unpredictable or unsafe to attempt an unsupported manual OS upgrade without a viable backup.

Anyways, This server has 355 GB of high speed storage, 900MB of RAM and is roughly 120 MHz faster than the old server; which was only 75GB and only had 160 MB RAM.

The things that aren't working just yet are higher level functions like perl's GD.pm which lets perl create graphics dynamically. Those issues are due to the lack of certain undetermined developer files being installed on the server. I am hoping to correct it soon but the tools I am using won't tell me what files I'm missing, so its pretty slow going.

I've got some new story ideas so stay tuned. Also the server should be back up to working again once I fix it (goes without saying, haw haw haw) but I am workin' on it.
