Meet Charlene
Hi…
Well, this may seem a little obscure, or at least geeky… but the box that UrsusPacificus was hosted on when I rolled out my Wordpress implementation has been supplanted. Charlene is my new web host. She’s an AMD Athlon64 X2 with 2GB of RAM in a dull little Micro Center “PowerSpec” micro ATX case. The “system disk” is a 2GB CF card, and the website is living on a software RAID1 composed of 2 old PATA HDDs I had lying around (with PATA-to-SATA adapters).
So, for about $230, with a little old hardware I had lying around, I was able to put together a webserver.
How cool is that?!
My camera’s up at the house, so I have no exciting pictures to show. Sorry.
…and, yes, I’m really digging deep in the list of Andy Griffith Show characters for hostnames.
