I have been having horrible server problems over the past few months – all kinds of oddities going on with the system. I decided to rebuild the server that hosts this blog (among several other sites).

Since I was doing the rebuild anyway, I decided to just move everything over to EC2 and build an AMI. One of the major benefits of moving to EC2 is: if the server is compromised, or just gets hosed beyond repair, it’s easy to just bring up a new instance and start over.

So far the server is screaming fast compared to the one I was using. The server will likely be much more stable and faster now, but I still have a few sites to move. Apologies if have hit errors in the past, or get any in the next few days.
