Hosting

My hosting company, Lunar Pages, has cut off my comments. Actually they did it a month or so ago, but I've been busy. Anyway, because I was being hit by a particularly bad spam attack and there was a bug with MT, there was a lot of extra load put onto the server. Too much for Lunar Pages. Until recently they have been the best host I've ever worked with, and I've worked with a lot. But recently, over the last year or so, they have become more hard lined, running PHP as a cgi, annoying, turning on PHP safe mode, even more annoying, etc.

At this point, I'm not sure it's worth hosting MT myself anymore. I'm thinking of using my Typepad account to host it all. Of course, the couple other weblogs hosted with my install would have to find a new place to live as well.

The only issue with moving to TP is loosing my Gallery install. I like it, and I'm not sure Typepad's photo galleries really replaces it. To be fair I haven't used it much, so maybe it's improved recently.

Then there's Flickr, which is all the rage.


Sundance

I knew I was missing out when I skipped Sundance. Never again
