Camino

OMG. Imagine the slickness of Safari's feel, with the rendering accuracy of Firefox. Add some speed on top of it. Then you get Camino. You lose some plug-ins, but you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Slam OpenDNS on top of it, and you're browsing about as fast and pretty as you can without getting a new computer.
Migration. Again.

With Andre's help, we migrated Mephisto from Rimuhosting to a Lifetime (sorry guys, deal is over) Joyent Accelerator. $649 compared to $40 / month. No need to even think twice about it.
Two initial impressions. Solaris is going to take some getting used to, and not NEARLY as slick as apt-get, but I'll deal. Next, this thing is freaking fast. I don't know how it compares to slicehost in terms of speed, but page refreshes are near instantaneous for writes to the DB, which wasn't the case on Rimu.
I'm a happy camper, and over the long haul, I'm saving a ton of money.
