Watch some basketball or something.Caution, this is a moving target. If beta tests go well next week with the bored, then we'll be moving the primary sites to a new server with a new code base next weekend. I think we're ready. There still is some coding left to do, but most of it would be nice to have done, so it shouldn't affect the plan, I hope.
Once the move starts, we'll be offline for a while. The db conversion takes 6 or 8 hours for 4.6M records. I also want to take everything down and just do a spring cleaning. You can probably figure that once we go down, it'll be all day though we'll be working as fast as we can to get it back up.
I'll update you later this week as to how we are doing with the plan and where we'll go from there.
Thank you for your support and understanding in this transition. Once we do get moved, performance should sky rocket; however, it's also a 100,000 lines of code or so that's all been rewritten and rearchitected, so I suspect we'll have a couple of bugs creep in to keep us busy for a while after the move.
