Last month, the server hosting this blog and several other related sites including a mail server, had a catastrophic hard drive crash. With the exception of the mail server and the Creation History Project wiki, everything was back up and running within a few days. Unfortunately the wiki database was on the drive that crashed. And, of course, there was no backup of the wiki database!
The good news is that thanks to Google’s page cache feature, and a very nifty html to mediawiki format converter, the Creation History Project wiki is back up this week with only very minor changes missing.
What makes this an even better story is the upgrade to 32 GB Ultra 360 15K SCSI hard drives…that have been gathering dust since June! Besides two very fast HD’s, all the software has been upgraded to the latest versions: Apache, PHP, MySQL, WordPress, and MediaWiki.
