Breathing a heavy sigh of relief here.
PHEW!
Have I mentioned that I hate hosting problems? Is there anyone left on this board who I haven't whined to about my ex host? Is there a single remaining person who I haven't had the chance to sing praises about my new host too? TOO BAD - You're going to hear it again!

Yesterday morning, after being told several times that my old server was "all set," and me having to re-open the support ticket to say, "no it's not," cd34, the SMARTEST MAN ALIVE, was able to send a psychic tether through the mucky matrix and attach himself to the failing unit. He then used that mystical tether to yank my data over to one of his servers. Oh yeah, within a few minutes of beginning the transfer of my sacred data, he spotted the exploit that my old (a large, somewhat respected establishment) wasn't able to locate after 24 hours of tripping over the fucking power cord.

Get this: the old host managed to squeeze out to me a handful of vague, less than reassuring replies in the day and a half when they were apparently searching for the server's power button -- and that was only after I emailed their manager directly. Cd34 of the best host in the world was able to mirror my data, reset file permissions, and update my file paths while chatting with me on ICQ about a variety of topics.

Thanks again, cd34

Now that I can leave the house again, I'm going to kill some trees in my father's backyard.
