SX Webserver released, Server Upgrades
First of all, I would like to announce neotek's release of the SX Webserver. It's a simple event driven TCP webserver for educational purposes or embedded devices with very limited resources. I really appreciate neotek taking the ball and coding something for us, particularly since he's our scene guy and really isn't expected to do any programming projects. If you're interested in the basics of how a webserver works, check it out! neotek has stated that if there is enough interest he will continue to add enhancements and possibly even port it to Windows or other operating systems.
The second thing I would like to announce is that we have worked out all of the performance issues with the new server. Everything should be running close to how it did before the outage. The current slowness is due to us getting a much greater amount of traffic than we were getting in 2010, so we would like to upgrade the hardware even further. Unfortunately we don't have the funds at the moment. In order to get the new processors and 15K rpm drives that we would like, we need about $750 more. Please contact me if you're able to help with this at all. This new hardware should guarantee our expansion throughout 2011.
We have setup a thread to keep track of our $750 goal at http://www.soldierx.com/bbs/201102/Help-New-Server-Hardware-Needed
