Today a message came out on the bitfolk mailing list, saying that there were some 120M servers available. I quickly snapped one up and, as of next Monday, will be the proud owner of my first VPS. Let's see how quickly I can fuck that one up.

It'll just be running httpd and irssi at the start, although I may get brave and decide to host my email. Fun!

In other news, the dissertation interim report is nearly done. Only a gantt chart and "roadmap" to write then I can lay this to rest. Knocked up some nice diagrams in Inkscape, which I must say I'm growing quite fond of (even if the connector tool is currently a bit wonky). I've a presentation on it next Tuesday (11th), which I'm quite nervous about, not being a confident speaker and all. Ah well, it's only 10%; sure it'll be fine…
