PROTON Upgrayyed

08-29-2008 PROTON Upgrayyed

After my initial upgrade yielded extra hardware, the motherboard hand-me-down upgrades were eventually applied to my media center and now my main server. The obvious reason for the round of upgrades is because I'm obsessive compulsive and love torturing myself with multiple operating system reloads. While that was the primary reason, the slow photo thumbnail generation on Cougarfest.com was another one that seems to have been solved (it just happened to be the same reason for my last upgrade as well). While I would have been tickled pink with a 64-bit server, I'm stuck with a 32-bit flavor until a 64-bit ODBC driver for Microsoft Access becomes available, or I join 1996 and upgrayyed all my Access DBs to SQL.

You have to give Access DBs some credit, the Morlock and I have been trying to crash it for several years now and it still holds up against our ridiculous and informative Canadian bashing comments.

I'm convinced lloyd made a deal with the access devil to keep his 80s era database alive despite our comment onslaught.
