The Pilot Is Expecting Some Turbulence Ahead

Unfortunately, the server this blog is hosted on is getting a wee bit flaky (for definitions of “wee bit” that involve “several times an hour”). While it isn’t crashing, it is hanging for several minutes at a time. This appears to be a UML bug, and probably an old one that has long since been fixed at that, but we have limited options in a addressing it for a host of reasons that you truly want to hear nothing about. To further complicate things, my DSL at home has become “intermittent” (the best kind, because it always comes up when you call tech support), so I can’t even host the blog there to achieve better uptimes.

The good news is, new hardware should be arriving soon, and with it an entirely new platform (built on OpenVZ). Cross your fingers and hope that all goes well, and maybe you’ll be able to read more mindless drivel from yours truly Really Soon Now.
