[Tilesathome] New t at h server

[Milenko]

I'm a newb here on the list, but I wanted to say thanks for letting the 
project use this server.

This is something that will really help out with the overall t at h project, 
and I'm sure everyone appreciates your offer.

Also, thanks to Deelkar and everyone else who had a hand in setting up the 
new server.  You guys did it in record time and your efforts are definately 
appreciated.

-Jeremy
