Yvette's Inner Geek Blog

Well, this is officially the first day that technical difficulties have prevented me from fulfilling my daily blogging goal. I’m writing this in a text editor because I cannot reach my website… which is less than awesome. And guess what other site isn’t working, which makes this whole scenario completely and utterly UNawesome? webhosting.yahoo.com, through which I am embarrassed to admit that I still have my hosting.

I know, I know. What more should I expect from Yahoo? I’ve unfortunately been a long-term customer since I created my website—not out of desire for crappy webhosting, but because it was the easy choice for me given my inexperience with webhosts at the time. Some things were easy when I started out, but mostly Yahoo has been a piece of crap service provider.

For some time now I’ve been intending to switch over to bluehost, with which I’ve had very good experience using for other sites. But it requires, like, effort and stuff, and I’m nervous about switching hosts because I fear that I will lose everything and/or my site will be hacked in the process and turn into a Twilight fan site. Quel horreur!

Right. I can’t reach webhosting.yahoo.com to register a complaint via email, telephone, fax, carrier pigeon, etc. I probably have a phone number at home, but I am not at home right now. And it’s too late for me to want to deal with that crap anyway.

I’m going to bed and will backdate this entry tomorrow to fulfill my daily blogging requirement. Because technically I am writing this on March 19. Grrr, stupid Yahoo. I’m quitting you for real this time! As soon as I can find the phone number I need to quit you.
