Dawn of the Geeks

Indiepedia is the first of what will probably be many new sites being hosted on the alternate server. It’s a complete read-only mirror of Wikipedia. Google’s entire business model is taking other people’s information and sticking ads on it. It works for them so why not?

Not so surprisingly it works rather well.

It turns out the drive that failed is exactly the same model that I bought to replace it. The box on the new drive says 5 year warrenty. I wonder how long the old drive had considering it’s now out of warrenty. Both are Seagate 160GB drives. I’m hoping that the old drive can just be formatted and then reused. We’ll see. One way or anther though, my server will be getting backed up on a regular basis.
