A while back I said that this fall I was going to reinstall the server that powers (among others) this website. I reneged on this since I was a coward, and felt it would be a lot of work.

But, after having fiddled around with Ubuntu Server in a VM I’ve come to the insight that it won’t be as much work as I thought it might be. Sure, it’ll still be work, but not nearly as much as I anticipated. In fact, I think it’ll go over fairly smooth.

I’m going to hold off on it until the upcoming version of Ubuntu Server is released, and then I’m going to take the plunge.

I’ve decided that the major project for this summer will be the complete and utter reinstallation of the server hosting this material. I’m going to restructure things HEAVILY and rely on my experiences over five years of running this machine.

Sometime between June 1st and August 30th it’s going to happen and be done. I have put this up for too long, and the reboot of this blog has given me the inspiration to go ahead with this. It’s a much bigger project and thus it will need some planning beforehand.

But it’s going to happen. You can bet your sweet patootie on it.

Update: Yeah, guess what. It ain’t gonna happen. It’s almost August now and I have no energy to do this. Bummer.

The reboot turned out to be big deal. I haven’t had the energy to get things up to speed, but I’m getting there. I’m planning on importing a few of the old posts that I feel have relevance, such as my review of the Antec-case and such things.

None the less, I don’t regret doing this. It should’ve been done long ago.
