One of the best things I’ve got out of moving my site to a dedicated server is removing a lot of the need to do work locally.

On my last host, running CGI was pretty slow and I paid for whatever resources I used. It probably didn’t matter, but I avoided doing any development work there to reduce any unnecessary load. Instead I used MAMP on my Mac with a separate copy of Movable Type.

Now that I don’t need to be concerned about using excess resources, I can do whatever faffing about I want on the server. Even better, it means that I can also unburden my Mac.
