Scheduling Slashdot Downtime

It's about that time again folks:Tomorrow we make the big upgrade. First we went from an Alpha/133 to a P133, and now we migrate to a P2/266. And we're going from 64 to 128 megs the RAM, so hopefully things will perform much more spiffily come monday afternoon. And now the blatant plug:The server was bought for us by Llamacom: they are swapping us a new MoBo/CPU/RAM/Case for a bunch of advertising. Check them out. Tell them thank you! Anyway, tomorrow Dave and I are making the switch, and so we will have downtime (insert spooky chords here). We're gonna start when we get up (which will fluctuate based on how much of this Jack Daniels we drink), and hopefully it'll only take an hour or so (HardDrive/Eth/Video swap, plus maybe a kernel recompile). Then again, things might blow up. So anyway, don't have to much withdrawl tomorrow morning *grin* we'll be back in a few hours. I hope. Really.
