After two weeks of massive failure (which apparently comprises a medium severity problem for Dreamhost) they have restored my site from an offsite backup.

I’m certainly going to keep this in mind for the future when I have sites that actually need to be up. Two weeks is absurd for just about any problem short of your facility burning down (which theirs didn’t).

A few interesting things happened in the last couple weeks, mostly my weekends one of which was a huge hippie love-fest in woods (which made me realize how much I enjoy the hippies) and massive amounts of sociology which I have some more analytical thoughts on that I’ll post about later.
