This was a nightmare. I was trying to get some urgent changes committed for a client that needed it this afternoon. Just about to commit around 14:00 est and Comcast takes a dive. Comcast support says they'll have it fixed by 5. Not great, I wanted to be done with work early on a Friday, but client is on the west coast so it will still be okay. Comcast comes up and ... shit, can't log in to the server. Try a few dozen variations of my password, then scour the web for an hour looking for hints if I'm locked out or something. Finally decide to check Dreamhoststatus.com. Fuckwits. Only sysadmin has access to panel to reset my password. He's sick and only checking IM sporadically. Finally get logged in and commit at 23:45pm est. Comcast+Dreamhost fucked me and my client real good today. Not much I can do about Comcast, but our migration off of dreamhost is getting pushed up to the top of the list.
