Moving Again
I’m moving all my stuff from my godaddy dedicated server to a small group of slicehost slices. This is going to save me about 50% on my hosting bill, but still allow me some scalability when I need it. I really like what I’ve seen of slicehost so far… you can pick your flavor of linux, create new slices that look just like the ones you’ve already set up, or start completely fresh. You get full root access and it’s hard to beat the $20/month starting price. I’m going to start out with 3 slices.. Apache, Tomcat and DB. I’ve had this move on the back burner since mid February and I finally took the plunge over the last few days and finished it up. I’ve moved all my sites and apps and I think I’ve made all the old URLs line up with the new URLs… so it should be “seamless”.
I am also switching off roller, and on to wordpress for this blog… wordpress is much more feature rich than roller. Hopefully it will inspire me to blog more than once a quarter.
In other news… you should check out the clark island boat works blog, my friend Mac does the boat and blog building and it’s pretty interesting to see what goes into one of these boats…. even if you don’t really care about boats. At least give him a click or two.. he watches the damn traffic stats like some kind of junkie.
