Being hosted on Dreamhost is a double-edged sword.
On one hand, you get the freedom to install pretty much whatever you want on your account (aside from most programs which require a persistent process)- you can run bleeding-edge versions of your scripting language of choice, you can [...]

The Joy of Tech is approaching it’s 1000th issue. If you’ve not read JoT before, now might be a good time to start :-)
