Hi there!

If you are reading this, then that means that I AM BACK!

WooT!

 

Okay, well, I’ve still been here for the most part…I’ve been tweetin’ and I’ve been Dailymilin’, but the blog has been out of commission so I haven’t been able to post (not anything that could be read, anyway).

So what happened?  Apparently the fuckheads at my former webhost, Justhost (who I won’t link to because they suck), decided that I was using too much CPU space, so my account was suspended…without warning.  And yes, the bill was paid :-P . I didn’t know what was going on until I tried to check my email and couldn’t get in, then I saw the suspension notice in my hotmail inbox.  I don’t know how I was using too much CPU space (all I have is Wordpress running), and I don’t know how in the hell it matters when everything is “supposedly” unlimited, but it happened.

I spent several days playing email tag with Justhost trying to get the latest backup of my site, sending freaked out emails to a ton of people for help, trying to get everything situated on a new (and so far much better) webhost, Dreamhost, trying to get my domain name transferred (which took forever), and trying to reassure people on twitter that I haven’t left town.

It’s been fun (that was sarcasm).  It was really touchy for awhile, and I was afraid that I was going to lose EVERYTHING, but thankfully it’s all worked out.

I want to take a minute to thank everyone for your support, suggestions, for not ditchin’ me, etc…etc…especially Brandon for his help in trying to get me back on track (and for answering every stupid question I had), and SUPER ESPECIALLY Dreamhost customer support, who got sick of my stupid questions after awhile and did all the hard stuff for me.  WooT!  Seriously, they rock.

And to Justhost?  Fuck you…just, fuck you.

So welcome back to the show, my friends!  I’ve missed you all.  I knew this blog and you guys meant alot to me, but I didn’t realize just HOW MUCH until I lost it.  This past week has been hell, but you are all beyond awesome.

And since you are here, if you happen to come across anything that isn’t working correctly, please let me know and I’ll get it squared away (or make Dreamhost support do it, YAY!).   Everything should be good to go, but shit happens sometimes.  I also may be tweaking some things on the blog over the next few days, so some screwiness might be seen.  I meant to get alot of the work done before I came back online, but I got a little lazy (boo!).

That is all (I think). How in the hell have you all been?  Anything new and exciting go down while I was gone?

Hope you have a great day!

    Welcome back! Missed ya! (Oh wait…you didn’t see that.)

    The more I hear about Dreamhost, the more I contemplate getting myself a self-hosted site. But then again…I’m lazy…and a cheapskate…and a bit apprehensive about all this self-hosted stuff. Is there a “Domain Names for Dummies” or something? :-P

    WooT!!!
