I call BS

Since switching this site to DreamHost.com in late January, I’ve had to contact customer service far too many times.

Feb. 16 (Site Down)
Feb. 20 (Site Down)
Feb. 28 (Site Down)
Mar. 8 (Site Down)
Mar. 8 again (Site Down)
Mar. 14 (Email down)
Mar. 16 (Site down)

These are in addition to my concerns about the horrid response and loading time of the site. Each time, they’ve been super-nice, but after so long, that only makes me feel like this problem will not be resolved. “Oh, we’re sorry, it’s the server you’re on” or “Oh, we’re sorry, we had an outage” or “Our server had to be rebooted. Sorry.” However, the topper came today: “It’s not our fault, it’s your domain name.” I call BS. And if this site is up long enough for anyone to see it—DON’T USE DREAMHOST. :nonono:

…only NOT! I’m so sick of the word “borked” I could vomit. It seems that this term is used to replace more decent phrases such as “messed up” or even “screwed up” when talking about layouts that don’t align properly, i.e. Your site is borked in IE. Blech. It’s a horrible, repulsive, unnecessary word.:ranting:

I had a wanky post about something, but it’s gone. Who am I to get upset by nosy, uninformed, illiterate people?!?

Get Happy! 😆

Oh, and Ben, they moved up new LOST eps. They start back Mar 30th.

I was able to read a few more chapters of the wonderful fic I’m beta’ing. I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time allowing myself to read more of it. In no way do I have ADD (nor do 80% of those diagnosed with it….), but it’s almost as if the minute I get into it, I think about all the work I have to do, or all the vids I’m supposed to watch, or the Ford vid that I am dying to make. I’ve decided that I’ll “allow” myself to do three chapters a day. If I do more, that’s fine, but at least I’ll be making progress.
