As of September 8th, we’ve been on some new, more efficient hardware. Dreamhost promised to move us to a new server whenever they wanted to in exchanged for us to receive unlimited storage space and bandwidth, as if what we already had wasn’t plenty in the first place. This was back in October of 2008 and is also the reason the site was a blank page the last few days. The file structure on the new server differs from the old one so WordPress didn’t know what was what. Since our caching plugin relies on what WordPress knows, as of yesterday, it started creating its own blank-page blog. Thanks to the speedy service of the Dreamhost Customer Support team, this was resolved within an hour.

This site and anything else I currently host like will be moving to a new server. The upgrade really isn’t needed, but we’re gonna have to move anyway. Instead of 7TB/month of bandwidth, we’ll be getting unlimited. Instead of 360GB of storage space, we’re getting unlimited + 50GB! The extra 50GB is kinda useless though; plus, I just made it up.
I finally opened up the page for DDR Pulse Radio2. It’s a sister netcast to DDR Pulse Radio. The basis is that it’ll have little to no editing so it’ll come out very quickly and will be 10-15 minutes per episode. The release schedule is still in the works, but one episode is already getting close to recording time. While making the DPR2 logo, I noticed how busy the first one was. I’ll go ahead and tweak it a bit to fix that issue.
Because everyone’s been asking for it, Mike hooked us up w/ some cats.
The site was up and down all morning so I e-mail Dreamhost, and they fixed it. Here’s their response to my e-mail (which came in under 5 minutes):
Sorry about that! It looks like crenshaw was having some issues so our admins have rebooted it. I just checked your sites and it looks like things are back to normal.
Please let us know if you are still having trouble getting to your sites!
Thanks!
Leon
Mike sent me an e-mail informing me of a planned outage of our server. This includes everything I’m hosting at the moment.
Looks like we’ll have 15-20 minutes where the server is offline tomorrow.
We’ve got the site working now finally. Just type in the address in your phone or mobile device, and it’ll automatically put you in the right mode and everything. It even has an option to switch you to the desktop version of the site.
I didn’t realize that it was Sunday morning and forgot to post about our planned power outage prior to it happening. So much for being planned huh? Sorry about that everyone. The site is back up from a power cycle and now things should be running smoothly.
