RIP

It's old but gold. If it could help you out we've probably chucked it in here.

RIP

Post by SneakyPie » 29 Apr 2011, 06:26

I have some saddening news.

My laptop finally kicked the bucket and has died. Some of you newbies may be thinking, "Your laptop died? Who cares?"

Some of you know that there wouldn't be an Escapecraft without this laptop. It hosted and was the sole hardware for the server in the first two months of Escapecraft's life.

It served us well and will be missed.

Fun Facts about server running on the old lappy:
• It could support up to 20 players with tolerable lag. (I have a 1 Mb/Up connection)
• The server ran on only one gig of RAM
• It had an older dual core CPU (2.3 Ghz I believe)
• It was ran on Windows 7 with a few customs scripts to restart the server in the event of a crash.
• I broke all the rules of hosting servers and ran it over a wireless connection. :lol:

We should definitely see to the construction of a mausoleum to house the remains. Somewhere dignified but prominent in ver3, or maybe ver4.

Meanwhile, my Grandad's 18 year old laptop is still going and still playing Quake.

Can't say the same for Grandad though.

Alternatively, stick it in a double boiler, get it to about 130F, high operating temperature, so it doesn't have to get up to that temp on its own.
