Monday evening, things seem to be back in service. I have new nameservers for all my hostcolor served stuff, and I think I’m going to set up my mail programmes to use the physical server names, rather than the domain names, so as to ease through the transition to the new host.
Tuesday I re-established mail accounts in mail.app for the new hostcolor-based mail servers, and they seemed to agree with MailMate, another email programme which is a little more standards compliant, insofar as numbers of messages. Adding the accounts back to all my other devices seemed to go well. I have progressed to “having functional email on all my devices”, Huzzah.
Wednesday, mattgodden.com finished its migration to Hover’s registration system. Still waiting for metaning.net to make the jump.
Thursday was a public holiday, but I spent it setting up the new Samsung 990 Pro SSDs in their carrier – checking that the firmware for the drives was up to the latest versions, etc. At some stage over the weekend, I should get them installed in the Mac.
Saturday, I installed the new drives in the Mac Pro. It went well the drives and card add about 8-9 watts to the sleeping draw of the machine, which is not the best, but 8TB of storage for $1100 or so, Vs. $4200 for Apple’s 8TB storage.
Sunday morning, really Saturday night, I updated my UPS’ firmware – a housekeeping task I’ve been putting off for a long time.
