This blog has to move, apparently. Bytemark, Beasts, Squid, Linode, or somewhere else?
Jesus what an autumn. First e2fsprogs ate my HDD. I still have to go back and hack on that. Then we migrated the work e-mail, with the result thanks to Microsoft that although a load of archive e-mail has the right headers and Outlook knows this it still lists it as coming from me.
And ScraperWiki ran a bulldozer back and forth over a bunch of my stuff. I evacuated the code onto…yes, the Linux partition that got killed. Fortunately other stuff is on github. Now I’ve been given notice to quit the blog server. I think the MySociety folk are spending too much time hanging around with Tories, to be honest.
I never really finished the migration here, to be honest. Walter Benjamin in the command line.
Obviously, I’m totally biased – but one potential advantage of moving to us at Bytemark would mean that your blog could be physically based in Yorkshire… đ
Next to the .tyke root server?
Bytemark are excellent. ÂŁ150/year for a VPS isn’t the cheapest you can get, but it is pretty damn cheap, and IMO they provide a superb service for that price.
