Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'd be worse than useless with tech, but I threw some money into the hat (Jesse, insent).

Technically, I suppose I should offer the Epic Poem (haha), but I'm crap at poetry, so thank goodness Amy's on it!

And, due to the nature of this place, the only things I'm really good at (proofreading, party planning, ...) are far from unique. Wait, there you go, I can offer to proof Pix's pithy article!

ita_!, Tom, I really hope you're feeling better, and soon! Dealing~ma.

Our wings are not tired

I've been pretty happy with Dreamhost for my needs. Occasional outages or tomfoolery with moving servers around, but I've been with them for years and things have worked well overall.

I've found Dreamhost to be pretty easy to work with and certainly one of the more economical options. I have been hacked, although not on a large scale.

I should be around most of the next few days, if there's anything I can test or otherwise help with.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Jesse, insent. All I can do, wish it was more. My poetry tends to be random and free verse...and not helpful in any practical or conceptual way. You guys, with the hands, though. All good thoughts and support to you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone object to trying the lowest rung of virtual server at Dreamhost? We're racking up more ridic bills just sitting here.

I suggest we sign up for something, stat, and point buffistas.com there, and I'll try and set up the code.

Because books.

I agree. Let's not run up huge bills.

I say go for as soon as you feel up to it. I don't think we're going to do better for unlimited bandwidth.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I agree. We can scale up later if we need the memory, but until then, better to get moved somewhere solid (and I trust DH to be solid) as quickly/easily as possible.

BTW, I'm waiting to contribute to the fundraiser until we have a better idea of how huge our bill is.

I doubt we'd need more than the 2000MB option which is the cost of what we have now

In our current setup, we only have 512M, and I just looked right now, and we're only using 180M. The 2000MB plan would be a waste of money.
