I for one welcome our sometimes-down overlords. This downtime was mostly due to building management (again) rather than the DreamHost folks. They have complained several times about it, but the task of moving large datacenters would probably cause even more downtime. From what I understand, they were about to move until last year when MySpace and several others moved out of the building, lowering the overal power demands. However, it is only a matter of time till these power issues force them to move.

As far as Damn Interesting, it looks like you guys were on one of the “Drink” servers which had issues coming back up.. Unfortunate, but it looks like the trouble is over.

My site is down totally currently, but I don’t have near the amount of traffic I’m sure you do.
