Bad transit map redirect due to hosting upgrade

On Monday my hosting service moved their servers. Ever since then requests on my site for URLs not ending in a backslash forward to crazedmonkey.nfshost.com.

I’ve opened a related ticket with my hosting service and hopefully they’ll fix the issue. In the meantime, please use the URL which works.

As it wasn’t, I asked someone for it and they went to get a fresh one. Upon his return, he told me that they were now keeping the honey behind the counter as “people were drinking it.” I wasn’t so much disgusted as I was upset at being told that fact now after months of adding saliva-laden honey to my coffee. Sometimes honesty isn’t the best policy.
