We are beginning our November pledge drive today with a goal of getting a
new video server on line to show media clips, videos, movies and mpg
files. We want to get ready now for the broadband era. I'll have more
details. We'll call this our Fall Pledge Drive and will run till we reach
our goal.

I know what the problem was. I still had this computer configured for LAN. I had to reset lots of programs for access. *sigh*

This message is primarily to Geo and the rest of the Spring, I acknowledge
the generous contributions made by Drooleurs during the Fall Pledge Drive.
We recently had a call from our "colo" or colocation facility that we
needed to replace a motherboard. It turned out we did not need a
motherboard after further checks. Had it been a motherboard, the Spring
would have been down for 3-4 days.
So, we're having a fund raiser to raise the money to keep a spare
motherboard on hand to reduce our downtime in case of a motherboard
failure to hours instead of days. We also had one of the six hard drives
in Spring crash and it needs replacing as this drive is our backup safety
net and we're limping along without it now.
Here is what we need to be able to come back online quickly in case of a
real failure of the motherboard, a cpu or memory module.
And the cost of the replacement hard drive.
405.00 P3TDDE Supermicro Motherboard
109.00 512k memory module
95.00 IBM Hard Drive 120 mb
609.00 total
Please send paypal contributions to bank@spring.net
Or mail your checks / money orders to

With your help, I can build an effective safety net to protect our server
against hardware failure. We had our wake up call, now it's time to
really prepare!

Please give us the URL for the bank@spring.net so we can use PayPal. Otherwise it goes to generic spring.net. Suggestions?

We're trying to cover the last mile. I have two servers up and running
and am working on a third server for triple rudundant crash protection and
robustness. We're getting serious about backups and data protection.
We lost our main server and came back up relatively unscathed, but not as
smoothly as I would have liked. You can't do enough disaster
preparedness.
And this hardware special fund drive supports that.
