On 05-September-2001, I added an internal ATAPI ZIP drive to the system. Users won’t notice this addition too much, since it is used mainly for system backups. I also wrote a script that automagically backs up the entire system, including dumping the tables, to the ZIP drive.

• System Downtime -- UNSCHEDULED! - 2001

Just a brief update… I’ve upgraded the system’s memory to 256 megabytes. This should improve caching and system response time.

Remember, though, that this system is using a DNS proxy (TZO.com) for domain name recognition. Sometimes, TZO’s servers can be a tad slow, which is the reason for the occasional slowdown in hitting this system the first time in a session. Once you’ve contacted the system, subsequent hits should be faster.
