On Servers and Services
Posted by BM5k on June 12, 2008 at 07:24 AM
Currently, my clientele consists of a very small site that someone paid me for, and a handful of personal projects.
I’m not really making enough money at this point to justify having 2 servers, but suddenly a backup seems quite nice. My web uptime the last 3 weeks has been something like 0.00001%, which has totally destroyed any sense of productivity.
I set up my entire workflow based on having access to my server that is as of now mostly useless. For example, my subversion repository is inaccessible, which throws a huge wrench in my source-coding. All of my current projects (including the one that might make me any money) demos are all down.
full time job + life crap = not getting the chance to take care of this stuff quickly
which could wind up costing me the one project with potential income
which means I can’t afford a backup server…
