I actually decided I was going to switch to Media Temple a few weeks ago, but like so much else, I kept putting it off. Mostly I just didn't want Kevin to get his $20 referral credit, but for the sake of posterity I'll say I was busy.
The switcheroo went smoothly, and it is already apparent content serving and script execution are going to run much, much faster. The database is being housed in a sexy dedicated box, so stability issues should be pretty much nonexistent.
At any rate, this technical detour has now come to a close, so the comic will return to the usual sex, drugs, and explosions with the next issue.
