Shit. And here I thought I was a Mac guy because I was simply a chump for superficial special effects and had a hate on for virii. Turns out I’m actually just sexy, charming and funny. Too bad I got married before I figured this out.
Not sure if anyone noticed, but my blog was down for almost 24 hours after an utterly botched “urgent maintenance upgrade” by WebHost4Life. Now I’ve been with them for around 3-4 years with only a few outages, but this one was just utterly rad.
I put in a help desk ticket this morning at about eight o’clock, and got a response within about a half-hour saying that it had been forwarded to the "server guys." Great, should be back up in no time. Or not.
After having no response for 10 more hours, I finally started poking around in the hosting control panel. After a bit of devious delving, I noticed that IIS was being pointed at a directory in the E: drive, while the file manager was telling me all my files were on the C: drive. So I changed the mapping and I’m back up.
I have to say, I’ve had few complaints up until now with my service. But this may finally give me the motivation to move over to Text Drive, where I’ve got a lifetime account. Up until now I’ve just been too lazy. Speaking of which… I deserve a beer.
