Moving servers. And URLs

January 27th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m moving servers, from the old Textdrive shared BSD boxes to the shiny new Joyent shared accelerators. I’m also moving from a ‘/~mlarocque’ (yes I am an old-school unix geek) base url to ‘/mlarocque’. Redirects written, etc. I’m hoping not to break things. Too badly at least. :)
