You might have noticed some odd blog behavior. Having ported to WordPress, we’ve moved to a new linux box to try it out and provide a platform for further development. Hope you like it, and a special thanks to Israel Curtis and David Veksler who made this happen.

A perfect example of free association. You disassociated yourself with Windows and associated yourself with Linux and nobody tried to stop you. Thanks Israel Curtis and David Veksler for your hard work. Hopefully the site will go a bit faster now, or maybe scale better.

@havvy – yes, no commissar tried to stop me, but the hours of server setup wrangling sure did give me the impression that someone out there didn’t want me to succeed…
… maybe Steve Ballmer has hired goons in these datacenters, secretly sabotaging the linux box sales orders and staffing the tech support banks with useless warm bodies…
Awesome. windows is crap. I’m a Linux guy w/ tons of experience in WP. Let me know if you need help.

Just to confirm the improvement, I’ve been having problems retrieving the RSS feed (timeouts) as well as posting lately. However the RSS problem seems to be fixed now, posting probably too (I don’t post that often). Thanks.
Just testing how long this takes to post…
Wow, yes, that’s a massive improvement!
The upgrades look great. While you’re making changes, would you go ahead and put the full content in the RSS feed? When you only give a short intro, that’s all that tends to get read. When the full text is there, I find I read a lot more of it.
Thanks!
i like the changes too, with one notable exception. the most interesting and alluring part of the home page has been truncated – comments used to be far more numerous. i can’t imagine being the only one to find the comments often as stimulating as the actual articles.
any way of expanding them? i question the utility of the calendar to the immediate right of this comment. couldn’t this valuable real estate be given to more comment snippets?
I agree with newson (as usual). The calendar really doesn’t provide much value or relevance to the posts or comments. It seems to be a case of, “a widget because widgets go here”.
