Puffy shot first.

OpenBSD 4.4 is out, which means it's time for some scheduled downtime.

I've actually had the 4.4 media in my hands for some time (if you purchase early, they send it early) but kept putting off the upgrade because the last thing I want to do is more work at the computer.

However, tracking each release every 6 months is not unreasonable, and there are all sorts of improvements to various daemons and drivers I should pick up.

I'd like to just schedule downtime for a specific date and time, and stick to that schedule, but I'll probably just get fired up and decide to do it at the last minute sometime this week or over the next weekend. This means that every Eco-Monkey World Domination hosted service will be unavailable for about an hour or so.

I'll post an update here about an hour before I down the server.
