Future Imperfect

January 15th, 2008

Animators need good timing. So to practice my timing, over the weekend I moved this site to DreamHost from another, lesser host. It took me a while to migrate my SQL database because I’ve tried never to give myself any reason to use the phrase “migrate my SQL database” and DreamHost’s support pages are written by their users in a wiki, rendering it inedible.

Josh at DreamHost
*This guy

My timing was peccable: this morning somebody* at DreamHost typed “8″ when they meant “7″ causing the billing system to think it was December 2008 and that nobody had paid for their hosting in 12 months. Then the system charged all their clients a total of $7.5 million and started shutting their sites down for delinquency. Ohhhh the internet is not happy.

So if my site a splode it’s because I’m delinquent — IN THE FUUUUUTUUUUURE.

    Let me know if I can ever help you with SQL migration or any of its ilk.

    That’s kind of you — it wasn’t the SQL so much as everything else in the world. E.g. it took me a half a day to realize I was using the wrong ftp username, so though it *looked* like I was migrating my db, I was actually stacking blocks in a corner, singing to myself.
