As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

First round of server updates are completed

The first round of server updates have been completed. ToolPartsDirect.com has been moved to the new web servers with only a few minor glitches along the way. I'll get the category level images fixed here soon so you don't have to look at black boxes all the time, but otherwise everything appears to be working well behind the load balancers and across all three web servers. As soon as I have one technical difficulty with an API that isn't liking our 64 bit OS worked out I'll be moving ToolBarn.com as well.

The real trick will be getting the database servers all hooked up and running, but that should't be too hard either. I have a call coming in from the database vendor on Tuesday to discuss replication vs. clustering. I prefer the idea of clustering, but much prefer the pricing on replication. I guess we'll just wait and see which one ends up making the most sense for our customer's needs.
