I took the server offline and decided to do some work on it. I installed a new OS and made a few changesto make it better/faster/flexible. The most important feature I have added is a ipv6 implementation of this site which is now live and working:

This makes my site more accessible and allows me to be on the cutting edge of network connectivity. The reason I was able to implement this was because softlayer (my host) recently enabled this feature on their networks http://softlayer.com/press_2009_01_21.html.

If you would like to test ipv6 please refer to my written howto on how to implement this on networks that do not support it yet with tunnelbroker http://larmeir.com/?p=354
