Mayday, Mayday, server down

There it is - when restarting the server this morning, the status lights just gave small flashes while something in the computer gave out small ticking sounds / no fan or anything else happened. It's been just over 10 years, and now the motherboard on this server has gone toast too. Tearing apart, cleaning it and putting it back together did no good.

I already have a new server in place and have migrated many things over there. However, not the site you we looking for, yet, since it redirects to this blog entry rather than the actual site. Luckily, it's Christmas, so hopefully I'll have some time to get it done. The plan forward is to

1. Pick the disks out of the cabinet
2. Find some hardware I can use to get to the data off of them
3. Spin up MySQL and PostgreSQL to hopefully dig the data off their databases, to be transferred to the new host
4. Transfer code and the rest
5. Set up the remaining sites one by one

To be continued...  Merry Christmas, everybody!
