A Couple Week's of Down Time

You may have noticed that the site has been pretty unstable lately. That's because I moved my site to another internet service provider.

I was with Hurricane Electric with a shared hosting account. Turned out my site was hogging up resources of the server it was on and causing it to crash. Their response was to limit my account's resources, which prevented the site from updating. Because of my limited resources, it was impossible for me figure out what was causing my site to eat up so much computing power. So I had to move. I have nothing against Hurricane Electric though and would recommend them to anyone. They were very responsive and helpful while I was with them. What they did was understandable. I shared the server with about 400-500 other people. It's not fair to the others that my site's causing theirs to shut down.

I moved to Linode, a virtual private server, which is a server broken up into a bunch of mini-servers. I have one of those mini-servers. It's great because it's acts like a private server. I can install any kind of software I want, and I can configure the server to my liking. And it's significantly cheaper than a dedicated server. What's not so great is I'm new to all of this, and I have to learn a lot of things quickly.

So bare with me while I work out the kinks.
