For the past few days the blog has suffered from unusual slowness — yes, even more than usual — caused by heavy load on the server. The nice people at Dreamhost are moving me to what they say is a snazzy new server where the blog will zip along at a fabulous less sluggish pace.
Meanwhile, there may be brief weirdness. Please let me know if anything odder than usual persists.
I wonder sometimes if I should spring for faster service. But that would be expensive. And I like not taking ads. (This blog is privately hosted. My employer neither pays for it nor is in any way responsible for it.)
