New Host

This is the first post on gnumatt.org from my new host DreamHost.

I feel weird about this because this is the first time I’ve ever hosted somewhere I didn’t run the servers. Ever since I started working at ISPs in 1994 I’ve always been the sysadmin for the servers that I hosted my stuff on. In 2000 I started buying my own rackspace and bandwidth since I couldn’t host at the place I worked.

I’m sort of happy to be making the day to day running of the servers someone else’s problem. Whenever I’ve traveled I’ve always had to make arrangements to take care of the servers. Now I don’t have to. Overall I’m feeling sort of down about it. I once had hopes of doing something more with the hosting setup.
