Moved to new servers

You probably noticed that we were down for a couple of hours today. We migrated our site off of MediaTemple’s Grid Service for several reasons. First of all, their uptime recently hasn’t been the greatest. Second, their automatic backup tool was removed from their control panel back in December, with the promise of a new, better back-up tool “real soon”. Two months without an automatic back-up tool is two months too long. Finally, they were supposed to give all their Grid Service customers a two month credit from their last outage. My credit never materialized, so I dumped them.

Everything is up and running now. If you see any wonkiness with the migration to the new servers, please let me know.
