hosting transfer to ‘the cloud’ and blog upgrade

just moved the whole blog to laughingsquid’s cloud hosting service. everything went smoothly apart from some data­base issues which were quickly sorted out (and the prob­lems were all of my own cre­ation). the dns trans­fer may still be causing some issues but it has only been 10 hours since i switched and access seems fine from the major­ity of ip addresses i’ve tried (see below).

also upgraded to word­press 2.8.2 which is a bugfix release…trying out the light­word theme too.

**UPDATE** after the blog trans­ferred to the new host i was unable to access it from my home adsl line. only this one site was affected…the rest of the inter­webs were fine. i could sftp, ping, tracert and it was access­ible from all my remote boxes so dns was ok…why couldn’t i connect to 1 certain site? con­tac­ted the host (helpful) and the isp talk­talk (not so helpful) but couldn’t get to the root of the problem.

i even­tu­ally tried alter­ing eth0’s mtu from ‘auto­matic’ to match the mtu setting the router was using (1432) and it worked! eureka.
