New servers for the blog (and website)

Just a quick note for now to say that we moved from MediaTemple to Linode.

We apologize for all the 503 ‘overloaded server’ messages that you probably encountered the last 7 weeks or so. We were getting the same errors and let me tell you it was a real pain.

[Full story later, but short and sweet: MediaTemple Premium WordPress hosting sucks :-)]

Any problems now are my responsibility. Please let me know if there are ever any problems. Once we get things ironed out, we should be up for years [like Ultimist], not minutes.  But also let us know, for example, if the site is slow, especially if you are located in Asia [we’ve run tests, and the site should be faster in the U.S. and about the same in Europe, but YMMV, and we want to  know  about it.]

Thanks, everybody, for putting up with us 🙂
