New host

This is just a short notification that this website has changed home. It was previously hosted free of charge by Free.fr. Although very cheap, this solution had many drawbacks (no MOD_REWRITE for Apache, veeeerrrryyy slow connections, no SSH access, etc.). So I took the plunge and purchased a hosting plan. I went for the basic one from HostMonster and I am currently quite satisfied. The administrative interface is ugly and cluttered but it seems to be the industry standard in those cheap hosting plans (cPanel). I actually chose HostMonster specifically because they were among the few advertising SSH access. With a Terminal and a SSH file system mounted through FUSE, I am a perfectly happy man.

The immediate advantage of the new hosting plan is a more responsive site. And I took advantage of the migration to rework the CSS and give the site a slight face lift. Some AJAX stuff from , my WordPress style, are still problematic but I hope to have that resolved soon.
