I think Luke is scared of what would happen if he clicked on things in WordPress and it actually loaded fast. When would he make popcorn or go to the bathroom if the computer was always fast to respond?

I ask myself the same question sometimes… My usual excuses are:

– laziness
– fear of the unknown
– no time for a big move right now

This sort of stuff. :P

I really don’t understand why you stick with Dreamhost when there are so many better alternatives.

Nah, I have never been good at doing stuff “under the table”. Besides, just as every other company out there, Dreamhost often has promotions for new users – so you are probably better off opening a fresh account with N months free and etc. I doubt anyone would be interested in a “slightly used” account.

That sucks… usually i get them very fast… since you have been with dreamhost for so long, I am sure that you have built up a lot of space that you can use (and bandwidth)…
Why not “sell your account” under the table? I don’t have the money, but I am looking for a jabber server… I am sure someone else you know wants a good hosting thing with them, just sell them the rest of your time, move your domain name over, and move a new domain name on this one, noone would ever know you sold it… the billing information would have to be changed over some how… but other than that… This could also solve your problem of breaking even even after paying for a certain amount of time.

Oh and I am retrying out flock, I am really liking the new features.

Ah, yes. Dreamhost email queues are usually backed up so usually there is like a 1-2 hour delay on the notifications. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Yet another reason why Dreamhost sux.

I got these two emails:

Just my two cents: You should definitely check out their ToS for any line that reads “We reserve the right to do whatever we please at any time.” If there’s nothing like that, then they were in the wrong (and vice versa, of course). (rest cut for length)

I thought about the privacy issue too, I but don’t expect any real privacy on someone else’s server (particularly shared hosting) either. They might claim that your “what am I supposed to do” question gave them permission to check out your data. Or your “excessive usage” gives them the right… (rest cut for length)

However, these two comments were made BEFORE I even posted….

Huh? What happened? Care to explain in more detail?

SO you know, I just got email updates on posts that were already made

took me a bit to load this post (ironically i typically don’t have a speed issue)…

I (think i) speak on behalf of both Craig, and myself when I say fused network has the best support and hosting packages out there… he is NOT the cheapest, but he is the best.
