You may have noticed some service interuptions with the Salientia website over the last couple of days.  I’ve just moved the whole website from a Linux box in our living room to Korax hosting.  There are a number of reasons for this - first of all, hosting with Korax is cheaper than the upcharge I have to pay our ISP for a fixed IP address.  Secondly, the web traffic was starting to choke our connection - too many people looking at pictures on the server.  Thirdly, Korax’s email servers are far faster and more reliable than our ISPs.  Finally, this is all part of my plan to get rid of Bell and go to VOIP.  Moving the Wordpress blogs went smoothly - moving the gallery - not so smoothly.  It turns out I’d configured the database with some options that are not supported on the Korax implementation of MySQL, so I need to rebuild the database….oh well.

You are not seeing much action over here as I’ve been busy updating the True North Cycles website.  Make sure to check it out.  I still have lots of photos to put up and lots of content to refine, so make sure to stop by regularly and see how it is progressing!

I just updated all the Salientia blogs to Wordpress 2.3.1, so if you see anything broken on anyone’s blog - leave a comment to let me know!  Thanks!

Well, shortly after leaving for Scotland, it looks like our DSL modem crashed. All it needed was quick reset - kind of hard to do from Scotland. So, the website was down for most of the trip. We are back up and running now. Over the next couple of days I’ll try to get up to date with a report on the Singlespeed World Championships, the World Championships in Fort William and our other adventures.
