down-time

This site will be down for a touch while the server moves tomorrow. It should be an easy move, and physical down-time should be around a half-hour. Hopefully DNS won't take too long to catch up. If your DNS isn't picking up the new address quick enough, feel free to make up somerandomhost.ericrichardson.com and go there. I can pretty much guarantee that whatevercrazythingyouthinkup.ericrichardson.com won't be cached.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
