Updates, updates, and updates

So Fresca is 8 months old and doing great. She has passed her level one training and now is working on her level two.  She is a little frightened of new things but we are working on that - current fear is the BBQ cover.

New puppy in the house

It has been approximately 2 years since my first dog Bingo passed away (Nov 29 would be the 2 year anniversary).  I think that is a long enough wait - we now have a new 11 week old puppy.  We picked her up from the Humane Society. The information we received from the WHS, she was abandoned, has a skin condition (being treated), and is a husky cross (they just don't know that the other side is).  Based on her paw size - I think she is part bear.  I will be posting an image of Fresca soon - need to setup the server to handle images.

After 16 years I have finally decided...

Nice title!  Nothing major about this one but I have finally connected a UPS (1500 KVA/900W) unit to the primary servers in the house.  Based on the monitoring software, I went a little extreme and bought a unit that was 6x what I actually need for the servers (good news is they will be running for 30 minutes on battery).

Working on the server

Well I have been on vacation since Friday and I have spent everyday working on the new server setup. So far, phase one is complete (in house page speed server, GEO blocking, and cache) all working.  I know why do you care?  Well all of the work I have put into the server is to make these pages load faster and use less bandwidth - this way you have more cell data allocation for the important stuff (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and porn).   Thank me later - just thinking of my readers !
