Dreamhost Moved Me

They said “sometime in the coming week”.  Then this morning I got notice that the move had happened.

I haven’t checked much, but the top-level blog still works, at least.  Since it’s a different system name and probably a different disk name, and a much updated Linux distribution (they say 64-bit, and the previous server was running 32-bit), there is certainly room for moments of unusual interest.

I’ll check more tonight, and should have time to work on actual problems then (even if I find a problem today, I can’t take time to fix it during work).

If you find something suddenly not working, please leave a comment here, or email me.

Sliderules

I’ve regained possession of the sliderules I used in highschool, plus some others (all were my father’s).  And was testing out a new “light cube” for providing even illumination for photographing smaller objects.

So here is the Aristo Multilog; click through for another good linear, a good circular, and a very bad linear (free giveaway).
