5 days after paying $500 for my new VPS from Media Temple, I finally get my sites up and working on their server. The damage done to me by the recent downtime is significant and not everything is working perfectly so far; the funny thing is - I may be moving again in less than […]

One of the golden rules in blogging is to never get too emotionally involved, it usually leads to nothing but trouble.
