The blessing and curse of shared hosting was just revealed to me. I host this old blog at Speakeasy, and have been pleased with their service and attention. Their pricing is reasonable, and probably about right for someone like me, who blogs as a hobby.

All the convenience of great customer service, and reasonable hosting rates, is paid for in non-monetary terms. I just found out that they aren’t at MySQL 4.0.0 or greater, and because the database servers are clustered, and serve many more customers besides me, that I can’t be immediately upgraded. I’d suspected as much, but now I know. I can’t have WordPress 2.1 yet.

So, tbbs remains at WP 2.0.7 for a while longer.
