Pardon our dust

I’m finally getting around to moving a lot of my sites off of the machine under my desk in the office here in the apartment in San Mateo.  There’s a couple of reasons, not all of which can be revealed right now.  :)

Anyway, this means that access to this site and others should be faster (and lower latency).  While my home DSL has never been particularly unreliable, I suspect that the hosted solution is going to be even better.

So far, I’ve moved nameservice off onto the new machine, and Athena’s site-under-construction I need to grow a pair and get my mail hosting moved as well.  That’s the scary bit, since I kinda need my mail.  Right now I pretty much just redirect everything to my GMail account.

Anyway, I’m going to throw out a shout out with big props to Slicehost.  Clicking on that link will actually take you to a referral page, which is great for me (or you can just give them my email address).  They come highly recommended by me and others, and it takes literally 5 minutes to get from entering your account information (reasonable rates, IMHO) to having a root shell on a virtual machine.  Their admin tools are not fancy, but have everything you’re likely to need, and I’ve had no problems with the infrastructure.
