I want to do something with a server that is running in my basement. It has been online for just over 7 years and it has served me well. I want to do something Flex or FlexJS related and I am looking for ideas. I was thinking about possibly using it for testing, maybe setting up some php scripts for flex users to test remote calls or something of that nature? Or maybe just setting up a Flex related website powered by wordpress, maybe using buddypress so that users can set up pages and promote themselves and share code? If anybody has any suggestions, please tell me.
This past weeked I had setup a test wordpress installation and it was just as easy as it used to be. Tried to find a good wordpress theme that would be good for a site that might also be sharing code/examples. Spent a little time looking for a good domain name at godaddy.com. Just fyi, flexjs.com was bought by some domain name squatters and it is being sold for about $3000 usd. apacheflex.com was also taken. I found some .org's but I do not want to violate anybody trademarks or copyright name. A little backstory on the server usage: Set it up as a glype proxy on Fedora. Ran it for many years. Made a couple bucks from google adsense and built the site up to a pagerank 5. Made a firefox addon that connected to my proxy. Had about 2000 daily users. Used to measure about 500GB of data transfer per month on that server, and yet my internet provider never complained to me. One day, my site disappeared from google search results and I received very little traffic, but yet the google ads still showed up on my site. Google never responded to my inquiries. I had let the site stay online as a memorial, but at this point, that site is useless and I wish to bury it. Server specs: motherboard Asus dseb-d16/sas[1] 2 quad core procs xeon[2] had 8 GB of buffered ram, but it seems that 2 of the 2GB sticks are fried. already ordered another 8GB and waiting for it to be delivered. had 4 hardrives setup as 4 stripes, but will covert it to 2 mirrors and 2 spares(for data safety) ran some raid tests and the hardrives are not predicted to fail, which is pretty good after 7 years It was definitely a little power house, atleast 7 years ago anyways. I would like to give it a new life.
