isp change
August 6th, 2007
For the last 3 years I've hosted this site off of a dsl line from ATT. The local cable provider has finally rolled out a static ip package with 30M down and 5M up, so I'm switching providers tomorrow. Hopefully this will be a smooth transition (we'll see how quickly DNS propagates). I'll report back regarding the service, but I expect it to be good. In addition to that dsl line, I've had a cable modem for house-hold inet access from the same provider. Now all I need is some Cisco hardware that supports MPLS and I'll be a happy camper. That and a new main server, as the dual p3-800 box is showing it's age.
In other news, fastxml is coming along. I'm hoping to have it act as a drop in replacement for hpricot in my feed parsing library. After that I'll see If I can make it play nice with mechanize.
