DLTJ In a State of Flux

DLTJ is in a bit of flux now. After updating some underlying packages on my 9-year-old Gentoo-based personal server, I'm finding that I can't start the web server process without the 1-minute load average climbing to roughly 60 in the span of about 5 minutes. (Translation: the machine is working very hard but getting nowhere fast.) Increasingly, the server has also been hard to update -- lots of strange errors, etc. -- so after 9 years, it is clearly time to rebuild it. In the interim, I'm in the process of moving the blog over to an Amazon EC2 cloud computing instance. If you see this post, you are reading it on that virtual server. The DNS entries should catch up with the migration in a couple of hours.

Because this wasn't necessarily planned, you'll see things change a lot. I'm still working on theme changes, for instance. But all the content is migrated over. If this goes well, perhaps I'll leave DLTJ in the cloud...
