While I have the occasional dry spell in terms of posing — whether due to final exams or some monstrous French literature essay to write — the gap I'm ending now has been especially long. I'd like to take this opportunity to explain why.

For the last three years, I've hosted my website with the fine folks over at VizaWeb. Unfortunately, at some point late last year, VizaWeb decided to switch its focus to big customers, away from smaller customers. While they were gracious enough to grandfather me in under their new regime, the transition had some problems. Most recently, some wacky Perl misconfiguration made my Movable Type installation spew gigantic log files that ate up my rather pitiful one gigabyte storage limit.

That and some MySQL issues compelled me to switch hosting providers. And on Tuesday I did just that. My website is now hosted by the wonderful folks over at DreamHost. Hence, the rather off-kilter website.

Much to my displeasure, I have an incredibly full schedule until early next week, thus I doubt the site will be back to normal until next Tuesday at the earliest.
