Dreamhost is all over the damn place

*sigh*

Apparently, my new hosting service, Dreamhost, is choking on all it's new users. My ping today is beyond horrible (and the sites are hit and miss for connecting to).

So... out of the 8 pings listed there, I get an avarage 1338 ms reply. This doesn't, of course, include all the timeouts I was getting a few minutes ago.

I'm hopeful that they are able to correct the issue, but with the current special they're running, the amount of data being added to their servers has grown 300% (an additional 200GB per day, or 1 TB every 5 days).

Weird... I'm hitting 59ms to that IP. (And to beverly, which is where all my stuff is at)

It's better now.

Things kinda come and go. I'm on grand, and I have a feeling it's hard hit at certain times of the day.

I'll check cpu on it next time it gets all freaky-deeky on me.
