A hard man is good to beat
We're having a bit of a cold snap here - the temperature occasionally dips below freezing! Button up your overcoat.

Working fine. I did another server swap.
We relocated. I moved a couple of hundred computers from the old Valkyrie Data Shed to the new Valkyrie Data Shed.
Of course, a move like that never goes completely smoothly. My packet transit provider had a routing problem for a couple of days - actually, it took me a couple of days to convince then that it was a problem on their end. Once convinced, they fixed it in a few minutes!
Also, a few computers wouldn't restart. But that wasn't a big problem, that's what backups are for.
I'm going to experiment with a new design for my "standard server", this will have six 1-terabyte drives installed. If it works out, that should cut down drastically on the number of servers I need - the current "standard server" is only 0.9 terabytes.
The sponsorships now are by giving women server space and bandwidth, so they can operate their web sites without having to pay these fees. There's also photoshoots, which gets some revenue into their hands, as well as the traditional direct-funding sponsorship.
Here's the full list of DtV family web sites

I checked the site statistics that Sandra counts up each night.
At the end of December 2008, there were about 1,042,000 pictures (107 gigabytes), 330 gigabytes of video, 12,100 text files (mostly stories) and a total of about 438 gigabytes. There's about 335 million pictures altogether in Newsthumbs, increasing at about 5 million per month.
