2 Comments

If you’re reading this, then DNS has propagated and you’re viewing this site on its new home in Linode’s Newark data center.

Goodbye, Apache. Hello, nginx!

0 Comments

I finally decided to dump Apache and set up nginx on this server last night. Took a bit of work to get everything up and running the way I’d like, but so far it seems to have been worth the effort. If anything’s broken, contact me on Twitter, e-mail, or just drop a comment right here. Thanks!

I'm Ernie Miller. But then, you probably knew that by looking at the page title, or the URL. I'm a Ruby programmer in Louisville, Kentucky. This blog used to be called "metautonomo.us", which I thought was kind of clever, but nobody, including me, could type it. Lesson learned.
