Do You Like the Peace and Quiet?
Wow, it has been too long since I posted, and I’m still getting a regular dosage of search engine traffic etc. Amazing, I’ll have to look into that, and see if it’s not all just me checking the ads etc. Or checking that my hosting account is still active. Or maybe, if the hosting company has over charged me by $240. Sound silly? Not really. In fact it was actually a $7.5 million fuck up. Seriously.
But it’s cool, I got a phone call from my credit card company asking if this was in fact a legitimate charge (before I knew what was going on mind, it was about 9AM, I was barely alive) to which I replied ‘Sure, why not’. Oops. But never fear, Dreamhost have already charged the money back to my card, no harm done.
Still pretty awesome watching this thing unfold over the day though. For example, as I read about the incident this morning there were 400 comments to the status website, now there are over 1000…. Cool. Most of them bitching about being charged over fees because they’re either broke, or bouncing off their credit limit. Meh, whatever. If your bank doesn’t refund you once you explain (in fact, I’d be surprised if they even charged you in such a short time period) then you should seriously consider switching banks.
I chucked in my two cents of course (American company) under the imaginative pseudonym of ‘Ben’ so you can check it out over on those two sites if you like. I get told to fuck off by another customer, who was sadly born without a sense of humour. It’s good shit
