Sorry. I think the days of self-hosting my blog are over.

What's wrong with self-hosting?

My blog keeps falling over under load. It's not even particularly high load, front page of HN and a retweet by @timoreilly. But this is the second time this has happened. I already have my hand in managing services that have to withstand load, I don't need my blog to be one of them.
