Posted by: jeorg at January 16, 2007 07:20 PMOh my! You have the dreaded "editor's elbow." I think the only fix is to play lots of tennis.
Hope your storage issue is fixed. I didn't send you an e-mail today, but I did a few days ago. You probably don't know whether you got it or not.
Posted by: Texas T-bone at January 16, 2007 08:42 PMIt is always a good thing for the cookies eaten to be greater than the showers taken.
:)
As an extension you will be that kind to tell us how many hours you slept? I did around 24h this wk...
Posted by: Momo at January 17, 2007 10:52 AMHmm. I probably slept 12ish hours Friday night, 11ish Saturday night, and 10ish Sunday night. One thing I don't lack for is sleep. It also helps when bed (electric blanket!) is the warmest place in the house. Especially since our water heater now only services a six-minute shower before running cold. Argh.
Posted by: Leah at January 17, 2007 11:07 AMIf you chose a different host, ie) dreamhost.com, your storage and bandwidth allotments would go up, and I bet your price may even decrease! I can give you a coupon for some $$ off, too, if you'd like. I don't know why people keep going to these overpriced, low quality hosting companies! :)

It wasn't my hosting company's fault. I had an email address I never used sitting around taking up gobs of space, but it had gotten so full of spam (unbeknownst to me) that when I tried to access it to delete some of the messages, I crashed my host's servers. With great power comes great resposibility or something like that.
My hosts aren't that expensive, and their customer service really can't be beat. The six-hour time lapse between emails was a bit of a fluke.
Although I am tempted by your offer of a discount...
Posted by: Leah at January 17, 2007 11:30 AMOn second though, Dreamhost is waaaaaaay more expensive than what I'm paying, but thanks anyway for the offer!
Posted by: Leah at January 17, 2007 11:36 AMI feel like the # for glasses of wine imbibed should probably have been a bit higher to offset everything else :)
