Changes Coming

So far, I’ve had two abortive attempts at personal blogging; I still want to blog, but I have to figure out what I want it to be about, and how much I want to talk about work (if at all).
I’m going to be playing with some new themes for WordPress and some new plug-ins while I work with this. In the meantime, I will be disabling new user registrations (at least temporarily, and possibly permanently) and comments on existing posts that aren’t disabled (they should all be, but I haven’t verified). I may take Joel Spolsky’s advice on not having comments enabled, but I’m not sure. I will be deleting all currently registered users, too. There’s been a slow but steady tend of spam-users being created. They can’t do anything, but it’s still annoying.
I’m also looking for a single webhost to give me a reasonable yearly price for good performance (the hosts at OLM and 1&1 have been slowing down, and while I liked Linode, I find that I don’t actually want to manage everything that way) with shell access and compile rights (so I can put Ruby on their system if they haven’t). I might like a Linode-like system where I don’t have to manage everything. I don’t care about email; all of that needs to be directed through my Google Apps account. I’d like to consider running one of the Ruby/Rails blogging packages (and I’m not sure which one, to be honest), but I want it to be reasonably complete and easy to use with plug-ins like I can get for WordPress (I’m going to be adding twitter integration soon, via plug-ins). Any ideas? Email them to austin at zieglers dot ca and let me know.
