I use Linode for web hosting. I like it because from an administration perspective, I effectively have a dedicated Linux box. In reality it is shared, so I pay a lot less than the cost of dedicated with the same amount of freedom.

So if you like what I like just grab my OPML and combine it with your favorite podcatching software. That will get you subscribed to all the podcasts I subscribe to. I change my subscriptions fairly often, but you’ll always be able to get my newst OPML with the link on the right side of this blog.

Sorry if you were disturbed by the unexpected downtime. The server ran out of RAM and decided to stop the database server to free some up. I am currently working to make sure this does not happen in the future.
