Gosh, I’ve gotten lax in updating here, haven’t I?

We’ve just migrated the Bauhaus sites to their new home on STELLA, a Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz machine with 4Gb RAM and a 250Gb HD — quite a step up from the previous hardware. I’m sad to say that SANPAOLO lasted only a month or two before the legendary AMD overheating problems reared their ugly head, and we swapped hard drives, booting up MALIBU as the new SANPAOLO. MALIBU enjoyed a two-year run as the Bauhaus server, and only started showing its age when Penumbra took off, but the newer, faster box is serving up pages much more quickly, and running backups much more reliably.

Most Wordpress installations have been upgraded to 2.8. (If yours hasn’t, ping me and I’ll do so.) We’re phasing out the old web traffic metrics system in favor of Google Analytics for much leaner databases and faster server response, and if you’re still using ImageManager, I’m sorry to say it’s been discontinued — we’ll be migrating back to Wordpress’ stock media upload tool, with Scissors for crop and resize functionality.

More to come sooner than two years. I promise.
