Well, besides the sporadic outages over the past week.

I changed hosting companies, and one of the side effects was that the database that powers this blog was having locking issues. So, I upgraded to a better database engine, and, man, this site is now SNAPPY. Pages and posts load very quickly compared to when it was running on the old box. As cool as a self-contained, fully-managed, filesystem-based database is, it can’t match the performance of a server-based database.

Anyway, enough geeking. Back to your regularly scheduled lack-of-blogging-from-yours-truly. :)
