New server location!
Well, we have made the switch from webappcabaret to a server at a new destination - and remarkably most of the URLs are still working, in particular the all-important http://www.landisfamily.org/DrillSgt :).
Actually the fun news is that I am no longer paying webappcabaret $$/month, the performance is better, and I have control of the configuration - and the weblog entries now show up immediately! I am sure it will continue to be fun until someone hacks the server.
So, for those interested, the basic components were pretty simple - oh, and they were free:
1. Forwarding a port from my router to one of the local machines
2. www.dyndns.org for their free Dynamic IP service to associate a domain name with my ever changing ISP assigned IP (thanks Brad!)
3. The usual URL forwarding from my domain registrar
4. Standard meta-refresh tags
5. JBoss for J2EE app
6. Apache for web server
7. MovableType for the weblog
8. ActivePerl for MovableType
Everything appears to be up and running - a miracle indeed.
