I will have a winners page up sometime soon and he will be the first winner at the Home Sector since it has been reinstated!

Cross your fingers…

Next weekend I will be tearing it apart and finding a solution to the freezing problem…once I get it fixed I’ll have a League game starting as well as some rebangs and new games coming up once it is stable.

Again, hopefully nothing happens, if something does, I apologize in advance…and I’ll put it back up at NOON EDT on Monday!

There were 9 people online when the server went down late last night…my computer runs at 105 MB of RAM before anyone logs onto the TWGS. Again, I run web development projects off of here, so I have Apache, MySQL, etc. running as well.

I have one 128MB stick and a 256MB stick in this machine…128 is first, if there were nine people on last night when it crashed, that’s about 105MB + 27MB which takes me onto my second stick (the 256). It looks like there a problem with the 256 stick. I’ll mess around with this some more.

I apologize for any lag that was caused and for booting any users that were online, but I needed to make sure I knew for sure what was happening. 😉

I live an hour away and can’t get to it fast…once I move closer to my office, I’ll be able to take care of things right away…and will even have monitoring setup to watch TWGS in case it goes down. If it does go down, I’ll get a page and can fix it fast. But not until I get moved into the area. 🙁

Gonna setup some other measures to let me remote reboot the server, etc. as soon as I can.

However, if the server begins it’s freezing up phases once again, I’ll have to move it over to another server until I get the problem fixed once and for all. It should be good…the computer hasn’t frozen in 3 days now…when it used to do it daily.

Telnet to: 216.169.164.147 to access it! This will be changed to twgs.thestardock.com sometime this week.

Current games include: Stardock Classic, One Love, Retribution, and SupaTrizi’T (dedicated to the one and only TW gOD)! All are old Stardock BBS favorites!

Second…the computer still likes to freeze up on me. The CPU fan has been making some weird noises every now and again, so my guess is that the fan is kicking off every so often and the CPU is overheating and locking up.

Good news is that we have another CPU with a heat sink and fan on it lying around that needs tested. It was overheating in one of our dual processor servers, so we took it out to test it further. It seems as though the thermal paste wasn’t applied enough between the heat sink and the processor and it was overheating as well.
