Long time no post

Well my hosting company Anynines went down and I was lazy about relocating my blog to a new host. I’m still a fan of AnyNines but I’m now wary of their dev hosting and a little disappointed they never did a post-mortem of the outage. I considered GitHub Pages but I want to have comments and I’m not happy using a hosted commenting system. I’ve really enjoyed learning Jekyll, the static site generator for GitHub Pages but migrating an entire WordPress site turned out to be a lot of work. I have moved some other simpler site to GitHub though.

I’m now hosting on DigitalOcean, I’ve heard good things, time will tell. Setup was certainly straight forward and being able to SSH in to the box is nice, but not as nice as just pushing an app to CloudFoundry.
