Server Conversion Success

Inanis.net is now running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit. I was able to move the database and file base over from the old install to the new install easily. For some reason, last time I tried it the --all-databases tag didn’t work and didn’t dump properly. Blah.

Just a few more things to finish and all will be supah cool.

AT&T Transcontinental Cable Route

I’ve suddenly become fascinated with old AT&T Transcontinental Cable Routes (L-Carrier) and their markers. I’ve collected a whole bunch of markers and taken pictures of them…

If I get some more time, perhaps I will post a KML file. For the time being, look at them on Panoramio!

Anyone else got pictures and coordinates of markers, along with their marker numbers? Throw em in the comments – I’d like to start a hobbist database.

Yeah, that wasn’t supposed to happen…

Really, all I did was install some updates and somehow (read: it’s my fault), the swap file on the server went away and then the server refused to boot. I fixed it, so it’s all good.

Long story short: I made changes to try to fix something and I made it worse. The server has been upgraded about a billion times and really just needs a clean install. I just have to figure out how to do that seamlessly. Easier said than done.
