Well, I’ve been neglecting my site for quite some time. Getting made redundant from one job, moving house, taking a shitty minimum-wage job to pay the rent, then chasing a job with TfL didn’t leave me much room for farting around online. However, I’ve managed to get most of that behind me, and I now find myself with that rare luxury – time.

I thought I’d dust off the site and try again. In doing so, I realised that the host I was using wasn’t a great fit for WordPress, and I was only really using it to host a site for a client who recently decided to move their site elsewhere – fair enough, I had no time to maintain it anymore, and we agreed that 4 years had been a good run.

So I found myself looking for a new web host, and was listening to Leo Laporte on his Tech Guy show, and heard him mention DreamHost in passing, I thought “hey, why the heck not?” and checked it out. Turns out I hit it at the right time, because their Black Friday deal got me a years’ hosting for less than the price of one month! ($9.24) So I switched everything over and found a one-click install of WordPress

And now I find myself making the same promise to myself, that I will find time to keep this site updated and not ignore it. We’ll see how long that lasts…
