Firts, my apologies for the unexpected shutdown of the Rijndael Project server.
The last week, concretly the 2 of december, the server was shutdown suddenly and without any logical reason and has remained offline for 7 days. I thought it was a hardware reason (take into account the server is an older computer), and I was right, but I don’t had time for fix it in those days and i’m was outdoors. Therefore, I couldn’t solve until now (this was the principal reason
The problem was originated in the power supply, and was caused for a bad soldering of the improvised heatsink/fan of the PS and this generated an unstable voltage.

And finally, as usual, some pictures on the repair process (I also clean the dust)

Now, all of the services are up and running!
I hope it never happens again until the server change.

It’s a great joy to announce that my personal project “Rijdael Project” has 1 year of life.
The project began the 05/25/2008, but the idea was born in February of 2008, however, it was not until July 2008 when it began to be stable.
Throughout this year, there have been many changes in the machine. I have been added services and applications that complement the server in many ways, that is to try as best as possible to something professional project.
Anyway, this project was born as an idea to learn and test my technological curiosities, and I think I learned a lot during this time, and I hope learn a lot more in the future

Although I hadn’t much time, especially now, attempts to improve the machine in any way we can learn. For now, the machine is stable, although is old (2004), its average temperature is 20ºC, and has not happened many problems (attacks, overloads, bugs …)

Anyway, I hope that this personal project continues much longer, and I can continue learning and trying my curiosities of the great digital world.

For a few weeks, I’ve installed a small script on my server that been doing a log of the processor temperature, and finally I do this little graphic about the average temperature at different times of a day. At the morning with an average of 11 º C and at night of 7 º C. And the graph…

Last week, Rijndael project server was shut down for about 4 or 5 days, and the main reason for this, among other things, was to transfer from one site to another physical place to turn best the machine and much more refrigerated (now the CPU is about 6 until 15 degrees) and other complications of the Internet connection.

The work was not easy, but in the end was achieved properly and pass the respective cables (energy and RJ45), and here you can see photos of the respective changes.
