Well, today has been a trainwreck. I’m not going to rant about fucking over my second accounting midterm this morning, but let’s just leave it at that I’m extremely disappointed in myself.
Extremely disappointed.
But, I’m in Austin, so it can’t be that bad, right? Well, let’s start with that “I’m,” which should really be a “we.” Thanks to Northwest Airlines, though, my coworkers are stuck in Minneapolis, and are set to pretty much miss the entire first day of the conference. (Note to Northwest: IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE SEATS, DON’T SELL THE FUCKING TICKETS.) This mishap will be affecting my schedule as well, probably preventing me from seeing the Worst Website Ever panel (where I expect we’ll see this thing get pitched), as well as the Flickr party.
I’m also kind of disappointed that my coworkers’ introductions to SXSW will be the Frog opening party. Not that there’s anything wrong with the party, of course, but it strikes me as kind of a harsh way to start the conference.

The row in front of me on the flight down today had two parents with their nine-month-old. It made me wonder how my baby was doing.

Well, on top of everything else, it looks like my site is down. (Fucking Dreamhost.) I guess I’ll be posting this tomorrow, then.


I host a few sites with Dreamhost. It is kind of a get-what-you-pay-for situation. To find a proper middle ground, I moved all of my e-mail to Google Apps (with IMAP), keeping my sites and file-backup on Dreamhost.
An interesting quandary is your complaint about Northwest overselling tickets. Dreamhost and its competitors get by through the overselling of storage and bandwidth.
