Outages to come… I’m moving!!

Just a small note to all my thousands, err… 2?, dedicated readers. I am going to be moving the trickyfly.com domain over to Slicehost, and keeping my DreamHost hosting around for my SVN repositories and file serving needs. I mean, DreamHost gives me some odd 6000GB of bandwidth and 300GB of disk space, how can I leave that?

In this process I have decided to move over to the Mephisto blogging platform, and will try to re-route all my old links to the new blog once it is all squared away. I don’t think I will be importing my old posts however, and I will be trying to separate out my projects from my blog a bit more. This might inspire me to do some more general blogging, but no promises.

So if you are asking, “Why the move Justin?”, the answer is simple. Freedom. I’ve been in this shared hosting environment for a while now, and I wanted a place where I can do whatever I want and experiment a bit in the process. First up is my blog actually. I’m sure it’s over kill but I decided to run 3 instances of mongrel via a mongrel cluster with lighttpd up front handling the static content and proxying.

In summary, if the site goes down, you now know why. Be on the lookout for new content in the near future as well.
