I’ve moved this domain back to Dreamhost. It’s been a good run with Slicehost. I still think that they are the superior host (I’ve already noticed a slowness with Dreamhost compared to Slicehost) and I greatly prefer the freedom and control of a VPS over shared hosting, but Dreamhost is cheaper and I need to cut down expenses. In the future I may move back to Slicehost again.
If anybody finds anything broken due to the move, let me know.
Last year, Backpacking Light published a review of the MSR Hyperflow filter. It was one of their subscription-only articles, so I never read it. Apparently, the reviewer attempting to filter only slightly-less-than-clear water and experienced a very quick build-up of material in the filter element that could not be removed by back-flushing and vastly deteriorated the flow-rate of the filter. Since the review, MSR has acknowledged the problem and released a new filter cartridge to address the problem.
I’ve changed my jabber account to pigmonkey@jabber.org. The old account is no longer active.
The jabber.org server doesn’t support transports, so I am no longer reachable through the old ICQ or AIM accounts. All the contacts I actually speak with seem to be on XMPP, so that shouldn’t matter.
