Notice anything different?
I hope not! But theres always the chance…. I’ve just spent a merry hour or so transferring this blog over to a new web server. The process was straightforward – just a bit lengthy what with installing the whole LAMP family, backing up and restoring databases, copying configs and the like.
But it all appears to be up and running, blog history intact.
The new web server for the blogs is one of these Book PCs – a completely fanless system using the Eden low power CPUs. Big difference over the standard tower that I was using for this – obviously a lot quieter, and being the size of a medium-sized dictionary, a lot smaller too!
And on the hippy front, I’m expecting quite a power saving – modern Intel CPUs can consume around 150 watts – so, around 3.6Kwh per day. And thats not counting all the other power sources in the case. From memory, these Eden things draw around 7 watts (so 0.17Kwh per day). Of course, there’s a cost – this model runs at 533 Mhz. I’ll be interested to see how it handles the load….
