SDS Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Learned a little bit about "Repair with keycache" this morning. It would have taken days to make updates to the tables (although I have someone's anecdotal evidence on how to avoid this situation). As it stood, it took 7.5 hours just duplicate the original database. Oh well, I'll try again this week. Sorry for the pointless downtime.
Beerball Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Well, I tried to upgrade the board..., 7.5 hours later and a big thumbs down Simple solution to upgrading the board...ban my ass.
DieHardFan Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Per your blog all is copacetic so why not take a load off, enjoy the holidays and do it next year. BTW per the last entry in the blog the last fund drive only got you through last Sept. Time to put up another paypal link.
SDS Posted December 20, 2006 Author Posted December 20, 2006 we need to do this for security reasons, although I suspect a playoff game would be pretty hard on us performance wise. We'll see how this weekend goes. If events go right I might need to make contingency plans. As for donations, anyone is welcome to make a contribution at: paypal2 @ twobillsdrive.com Thanks!

Can you (or someone) else tell me what's involved? Also, how much should I donate, i.e. whats a typical amount? I'm not big on donations and all, usually. However, I visit this site all day every day and if there's anythig I can do to show my appreciation and ensure it continues to run, please let me know. I want to do my part.

You will need to link a credit card to your account and/or your bank account. These should be where funds ultimately come from. Think of paypal as a middle-man in transactions. When you want to pay someone (SDS in this case), you go to the 'Send Money' tab, enter the email address (which SDS provided above), amount you want sent and your email address. Voila - the money is charged to your funding account and sent to SDS. Very easy once you get used to it.
