Server Move

Due to some problems with my web hosting service, I've moved this site to the server space that comes with Radio Userland. The new address is http://radio.weblogs.com/0100026/. I've got the ismckenzie.com domain pointing to this address as well, so basic links and bookmarks should not see any change. While upstreaming to the new server changed the permalinks to point at the correct stories, previous achives links are likely to be broken.

If you are subscribing to the RSS feed in an aggregator you should probably change that feed to http://radio.weblogs.com/0100026/rss.xml.
