The server got its Christmas present this morning - double the RAM. This should help performance some. DSL is looking pretty good, no bottlenecks or performance problems reported. TTZD will probably join TTNET on this connection soon.

We have made the transition to a business DSL setup. Looks to be functioning fine so far. We'll have to let it run for awhile to see what the overall performance is when people with faster connections are logged in. At the very least, I know I probably won't have to move it back to the old location now, as we've seen some pretty steep numbers on this end for download. We'll be transferring the URL soon so the www.TwinTurbo.NET bookmarks will work, I think we'll get that covered over the weekend. We just want to see how the performance is for now.

Merchandise completion hit a small snag over the weekend. Our completion deadline was not met for last Friday. Looks like it will be on hold until after the holidays due to vacation schedules etc. We appologize, this has turned into the biggest pain in the backside for us in a long time. If everything goes well on the new internet connection being completed today, the server will be moved to a more stable location. I will be surprised, considering how everything else has been progressing. I need to get the server moved out from my office, because I'm not planning on being here much longer and I need to have this transistion made before I quit my job.

tt.NET merchandise is being completed right now. Stickers were delivered today (very nice!), shirts and license plate frames will be finished before the end of the week. I don't want to make presumptions until they are in my hands, but I'm being reassured it will be done. We could have had everything done a couple weeks ago, but to get the proper license plate frames made in the given amount of time took some sacrifices in overall time. We were hoping to start sales this week, but we really wanted to have pics of everything before we started, so you could see them before laying down money. The downside to this decision is deliveries probably won't make it to doorsteps before Christmas. We're sorry about that, but we figure most of this stuff will be personal purchase anyway and not Christmas gifts. Anyway, once everything is in hand, we'll lay down procedures for taking orders and getting stuff delivered to you. We think you'll be pleased with what we've put together. We've made sure everything is something we'd want to wear myself or have on my car... and we're picky about this!
I'm also looking for a RH 6.2 LINUX genius to answer some hardware and config questions. E-mail me about it. I'd rather find someone that's already done some of this stuff then waste time figuring it all out myself. I'm interested in installation on one hardware set and switching the motherboard and processors out from under the cards & drives. I'm wanting to find a smooth transitional path between the new server and the old server to make a clustered solution and make things even faster. Not something I can just 'try out' to see if it works. I also have some other questions as well.

People running auto reload scripts to run up your hit total: Cease right now, or I'll ban you straight out w/o hesitation. I guess we'll have to just drop the access counter bit from the profiles because once again, people are being childish & running their counters up falsely. You know who you are.

Merchandise has been ordered and is in production as of this Monday. We expect to have everything in about 2 weeks & will start taking orders next week around 12-06-00 to start shipping once everything is in stock. I'll have updates as things come along, we're still working out some details on the fulfillment issue of the other week, but I think we'll have everything put together in time for Christmas sales.

Short update. Well, thanks to Zippin, I think we might have solved our tt.NET merchandise issues. We're planning on dropping the check on Monday. We're probably going to start taking orders at the end of next week if we can sort out some final issues over the weekend.
Sorry for the extended delay!

Just added another new feature to the board. If you look at any member's profile, you will now see some new links underneath their member name. These links allow you to view the messages on any forum posted by that person. Essentially, it's the same thing as doing View Own, only for somebody else. Several people had requested this ability, and I've found a need for it a few times myself.
Enjoy!

Greg & I went finish up our TwinTurbo.NET merchandise purchase this morning. We sat down with the Account Executive & the VP of the company we were working with only to be told the e-commerce/fullfillment part of the deal had fallen through over the weekend. Meaning they can make the merchandise, but can't handle orders and shipping for us through their e-commerce site, because they're going to take it down soon. Most of the reason we were going through them was for the internet sales service. Neither Greg nor I have time in our schedules to handle taking orders and doing shipping, so we're working on alternate plans to get things finished. We're trying to have things done before Thanksgiving for Christmas sales.

We're running some development software accelleration on the scripts. Slower to you? yes, it is.. it has a 2 second delay built in until we decide to buy it. We've tried unsuccessfully in the past to make this thing work out. Looks like the newest version is going to swing for us. If everything is cool tomorrow, we'll probably lay down the cash & ditch the footer message and the 2 second delay. Just so you know if it seems slower, it actually is for now.
