Finally, a New Host (Plus Goodies)
As I wrote a while ago, I had been having hosting troubles for this blog. Those days are now past, as last night, My Dream App web programmer Scott Meinzer helped me move the site over to a blazingly fast dedicated server, hosted by 1&1. (Major kudos to Scott. His internet was acting up so he actually drove over to his workplace to use their wifi in the car. I can’t thank him enough.) I know, I know, some of you warned me about 1&1′s service in the previous blog post, but no worries… I’ve had nothing but good service running a dedicated box with them for MDA.
What does that mean? Well, my site should now be completely Digg proof, and should run significantly faster. It’s like a fresh install of OS X! I’m loving the snappiness.
And, probably of more interest to you guys, is I have not one, but three previews coming up for cool new apps (and a cool new update). The first should be up today or tomorrow, so stay tuned!
Ah, and a final note… I’ve been resisting posting about my ongoing project on this blog, with the misguided motivation of separating personal stuff from work, or something. But then I realized two things. First, it’s cool stuff, so why not? Second, we’ve been giving away free apps, and I should’ve let you guys know! So. For a limited time, while Round 2 of voting just ended, along with the chance for voters to walk away with a free copy of the excellent Mori.
That’s it for now… lots of stuff coming soon.

Kudos on the new box. Just to be completely digg proof though, why not install WP-Cache. =)
Awesome stuff Phill, I’m currently about to move over to onesmallorange hosting to proof my site. 
Oh, you might want to fix the 1and1 link too 
YAY you posted somthing, you know its been a while, great to hear about your hosting and that your digg proofing yourself hehe
Why can’t I see the post?
Your link to 1&1.com is bad
The MacZOT ad on the right points directly back to your blog.

Fixed the 1&1 link, will fix the ad today. Andrew, what do you mean by “Why can’t I see the post”?
The link to Mori is broken. I couldn’t download it after I voted either.. All you get is a bunch of symbols in Camino.
Yesterday when I visited (having seen an update in Google Reader), all the posts didn’t really exist. The title was there, the date, but then it jumped to the AppZapper ad and then the comments. All the posts were like that. :/
