Big news from Matt, discussed in our latest 3 way handshake podcast
Quite a long 3-way Handshake podcast (episode 16) with Jason, Matt, Paul and Sabrina. We have a lot to chat about, not the least of which is big news regarding Matt:
Matt is moving on from Slicehost to pursue other interests. As he says in the podcast, it has been an amazing three years and he wants to try his hand at other opportunities. Although we are sad that Matt has his eye on pastures new, we understand and wish him the best of luck! Matt can still be reach via twitter (@zenmatt) and you can follow his blog (howradical.com)
On a similar note, we talk about Paul (a.k.a. PickledOnion) moving from the UK to San Antonio. This is a big step for Paul and for Slicehost as it allows a lot more interaction with Jason and rest of the crew who work in San Antonio. It also means he can fly to St Louis on a regular basis to visit our Slicehost brethren in our original office.
We answer a bunch of tweets and questions and also tackle the perennial questions of European datacenters and what exactly the differences are between Cloud Servers and Slicehost.
Intro music is Ice Cream Paint Job and outro is Fresh Blood.
We hope you enjoy it and thanks for your continued support.
