Now hosting on Linode with Pebble!

I’m now hosting my blog on my own Linode which is basically a hosted Unix service where you have root access. Fantastic stuff. I’ve installed my own DNS and mail servers, an instance of Tomcat, my wiki (a JSPWiki) and now some new Java blogging software - Pebble. If you’re looking for Java hosting … and don’t mind getting dirty with a little Linux, you can’t do better than root access! Ultimate flexibility.

Now, the only thing left to do is port my old MoveableType content over to Pebble, which I’ll get around to over the next week or so. Or let me know if anyone’s written a script to do the same.

I’ve gotta say that Pebble looks very neat. It’s got all the features I need in a blog, is 100% Java, and it’s well documented. Installation was a 5 minute process (and that’s the multi-user version - cause Nick will be here soon too). Fantastic stuff.
