Welcome to Our New Server
Posted by Henrik on 4 October 2003, 09:19 GMT
 If you are reading this, then you are visiting us at our new server.
After two years of planning and behind-the-scenes work, we have finally retired our old trustworthy Pentium 200 MMX, 128 MB memory, running Linux 2.2. On our Hardware and Software page, you can read more about the new hardware in our main server and what software we use as of now. Basically, we now have a dual processor machine, lots of memory, and hard disks in a RAID 5 configuration that gives four times as much disk space as before. We have also moved up to Linux 2.4 and Apache 2.0 (from 1.3). But it is not all hardware and server software. More behind-the-scenes work has been done on our in house software solutions. We took the time to streamline and optimize, sometimes rewrote parts of our systems and services to better serve you in the years to come.This upgrade will enable to us to extend, enhance, and add new features to the ticalc.org you know and love. Once again, welcome to our new server. (The photo shows the new server in the back of Magnus' car on 28 October 2002 when he picked it up from Henrik.) Update (Henrik): You should also note better response and download times from our web server. The first reason is Apache MPM worker that gives us a hybrid multi-threaded multi-process server instead of the old non-threaded, pre-forking server. The second reason is mod_deflate that compresses content before it is delivered to the client. Both these new features will most of the time decrease download time per page at least tenfold. Update (Henrik): Buy & Sell service has been retired as there are better similar services out there. Update (Henrik): Site Map is gone as we believe our site is easy enough to navigate anyway. Update (Henrik): Hosted sites are able to update their sites again. Update (Henrik): Our file archivers are processing the incoming queue once again. Please report any problems. Update (Henrik): Hosted sites should ftp to their hostname in order to update their site, not ftp.ticalc.org, as it does not exist anymore.

I have a new staff photo. It reflects my new attitude in life: that is, "pissed off and demure."
See y'all in another four years! :D :D :D
