as much as i like digitalocean and the blog i hosted there, it was a bit of a pain to maintain the server. that’s not a suprise with any diy site but my days of playing around with various tools are coming to an end. i’m very picky about the tech i play around with now, and i’ve decided that my blogging tools are not going to be one of them.

to that end, i’m moving my ventedspleen.ca domain over to my wordpress page. right now i’m typing this as a draft, but when this blog goes live, it should be available via ventedspleen.ca

it’s nice to be able to use Marsedit again, and probably time for me to upgrade.

an hour later: i upgraded Marsedit to v4. still waiting for my ISP to update their DNS. seems like everyone else on the internet has, but i can’t publish this until it’s updated:

dig ventedspleen.ca

;; ANSWER SECTION:

ventedspleen.ca. 1140 IN A 104.236.24.180

but google knows:

dig @8.8.8.8 ventedspleen.ca

ventedspleen.ca. 299 IN A 192.0.78.25
ventedspleen.ca. 299 IN A 192.0.78.24

24 hrs later: and my isp as rejoined the internet <snrk>
