HTTP Response Times for cipherdyne.org

I'm a big fan of the Smokeping project developed by Tobi Oetiker, and I use it to graph ICMP, DNS, and HTTP round trip times for my local internet connections and also for cipherdyne.org. Since the beginning of 2010, I've switched around where cipherdyne.org was hosted from a system at a hosting provider in Canada to a system running on my home network (serviced by a Verizon FiOS connection).

Then, in June, I switched to a different Verizon DSL connection and moved the cipherdyne.org webserver system to a newer Verizon FiOS connection at a different location, and the RTT's went up a bit to about 50ms. Here is the graph:
