Yeah, everything went well. I took the opportunity to add a slave database server. FTEl be going down for about 2 hours later this week in the early AM to get it up and running. So if the database has a hardware failure we'll have a hot backup.

Hot Ford trucks and computer geekery, some of the finer things in life I enjoy. Glad to see I am in good company. Thanks, Ken for your fine work and for burning your weekend. It rained here all weekend, I had to drive to Atlanta and back so I couldn't get on the computer, so I couldn't fiddle with the truck and I couldn't get on the forum. Your sacrifice is still appreciated here.

Thanks guys.
FYI... took the server down about 1:15am last night for a couple of hours. The "slave" database server is now up and running, ready to go into action should the primary server have a failure in the future.
Hope I haven't been too grumpy the last couple of days.

Thanks. As to time for myself.... I'm working from home. 4 days of little sleep finally got to me and I'm feeling under the weather. Staying home rather than spread anything I might have.

The money from supporters doesn't even scratch the surface of FTE's expenses. There are 4 full time staff members, 2 part-time staffers plus all the normal things any business has as expenses and the additional items IT companies have.
