No, I'm not going to be shilling this every day until 1 April.
I wanted to get it up so I could mention it in the Dear Abyss email announcement and the next sponsor mail.
I also want to get a "crowdfunding" mailing list set up, because not everything fits into the existing categories but I intend to crowdfund everything for the forseeable future.
@mwl That "Report this project to Kickstarter" button that is larger than anything else on the project right now is very tempting. "I don't know what this is going to be, but I will find it offensive."

@xkcdbot Really hate DST.
Powered off last VM of old network. Everything is now hosted on rented bare metal. Provided nothing breaks in the next two weeks, I'll delete that VM and migration will be done.
I'll keep one tiny VM as offsite DNS, occasional mail relay, and troubleshooting host.
