Hostees!
Dreamhost is currently giving unlimited disk space and bandwidth* if I volunteer to upgrade to the new billing system, which means moving to a new server. What that means to you is:
-- most likely, a few problems since the new servers use a new version of Linux.
-- if you currently use an FTP address that has the server name "goober" in it, you need to use "www.magatsu.net" or "yoursubdomain.magatsu.net" as the FTP address.
--if you notice your site has broken, or you have issues access it and you've changed the FTP address, either contact Support yourself and explain, or let me know and I'll contact them for you.
That's it! Just letting you know in case you see your site broken or you suddenly can't FTP in. There's no schedule for the changeover, so it could be now or a year from now. It'll also happen whether or not I volunteer early, so I might as well volunteer now and get a bit more disk space and bandwidth.

* Subject to their usual stuff, which means that if bandwidth activity on our accounts is dragging down the rest of the server, they slow it down so it's not *really* unlimited, except in the sense that they don't cut us off. But that's been their normal policy for ages, and we've never hit that limit, even when I accidentally slashdotted my own account for a day with the 1930s Marital Quiz.
Their policy here. The forbidden "Reselling (or giving away) access to your account to others" doesn't apply to you guys, as I'm not giving you access to *my* account, I'm giving you your *own* accounts on my webspace. But still no torrenting or other sorts of distribution of TV/movies/anime/etc. :)

This is the kick in the bum I needed to get me to set up my business email through Google, methinks.
