What's New - Current

 

5/31/06
There will most likely not be any updates until this weekend while I finish up with a customer's project.  Sorry!

 
5/29/06
Still tweaking out a few problems from the crash.  I found a few problems on my side with the site, but I think I have most of them ironed out now.

Here is a small Memorial Day update:

There is a new donor tonight, Jeremey Wee.  He sent in:
     A 15 photo walk around of the Universal Carrier Mk.I.
     A 25 photo walk around of the M3 Stuart Light Tank.
     And a 16 photo walk around of the 1941 Chevrolet Gun Tractor.
Welcome to Prime Portal Jeremy!

I finally finished recovering the data off the RAID.  I ended up being very lucky and only lost 6 to 8 files!  The one server I ended up taking down from Prime Portal is back up and running, so everything should be back to normal.  Next week I should be rebuilding the toasted server, but that will not effect anything on the site.

 
5/23/06
It has been a long ugly fight, but I am almost done with the recovery on the RAID.  The new hardware came in today, so all the parts are here now.  If things go well tonight, I should have everything back up and running by tomorrow.  Sorry for the delays!

 
5/21/06
I have spent most of the weekend trying to recover a 1.2TB RAID.  Because of this, I had to take one of the web servers down for parts.  I will be ordering replacement parts tomorrow and should have it back up and running by Tuesday.

On the plus side I just posted a 243 photo walk around of the XM1975 DSB Launch Vehicle.

For those of you not familiar, there is a DSB System information page.

 
5/20/06
Things may be a bit slow or even come up page unavailable for a bit.  I have a server that went down hard.  I am working on getting the situation resolved as fast as possible.  I will update you on the status.
