Ok, I'm really doing it this time. Rigel is going to shutdown at 7pm to move to new hardware. Downtime should be less than an hour. During this time, nearly all midgard-hosted services that don't have dedicated servers will be down.

Included:
* Primary DNS
* Email services for all our hosted and forwarded domains
* Nearly all websites, including
* SteamCon Registration
* SixMoreDegrees
* Invitotron
* Strangiato
* Bibliotango
* the Comics Page

NOT included:
* Sightseer
* Secondary DNS
* Co-located boxes

Well, it took three hours, but it seems to be done. Users, please let me know if you see anything wonky.

Meanwhile, I hate computers. And people who work on them, with them, thru them, near them, in the same universe as them. Nothing personal.

But particularly I'm annoyed that at some point in 2.6, linux stopped properly supporting the video hardware of the Network Engines Blazer. I've got a pile of them, but once they're booted, the video is unreadable junk at best, and barely noise at worst. Fortunately, I was able to get it booted into /almost/ unreadable junk long enough to re-rsync the new drive, and get the network working. It's fun working on a computer where the left edge of the screen is in the middle of the monitor, and so is the right edge.
