Well they did it again. Something happened to Dreamhost's file system that made it revert to a previous day's backup. the comments people made have been lost for one day, and who knows what else.

I still have the comments archived in email, so I'll probably recreate them, but it's still annoying. What with email, sql and now even web files going down, being deleted, or otherwise blocked or bouncing, there isn't a part of my Dreamhost service that hasn't keeled over at some point in the last month.

A great user interface will only go so far when the tradeoff is a site that's not accessible or reliable.

Oh, on an ironic note, I had the stomach flu yesterday, fever, chills, all kinds of stay home and hallucinate in bed, and my computer arrived. At work. Ah well. I'm feeling mostly better now, though weak. Since I wasn't going to let myself set up my computer 'till I had my office clean anyhow, maybe that's the next thing I should tackle.

Sorry for the downers this week. Actually, a lot of things are looking up. Expect much more joy (and less misguided fury) in the new year. Thing are good. To quote the Tick: Life am good.
