  • 13:39 I never hear my computer’s fan in NYC. At my parents’ house the same fan is so darn loud. #
  • 16:11 I’m frustrated by how often my site is goes off-line for exceeding CPU quotas. Want to suggest another hosting company or fiddle with MySQL? #
  • 16:46 I hate customer service that does not pay attention to what I am saying. #
  • 19:20 It is raining so hard, the trees in the yard look like they are behind five layers of unlit scrim.Lightning and thunder come simultaneously. #
  • 19:44 Seem to have solved CPU issues by installing Super-Cache for WP. Or possibly from getting rid of random photos in sidebar. #

    Try Dreamhost (http://www.dreamhost.com) for your hosting company. I’ve been with them for years, and have been very happy. They are a little pricey, but totally worth it.

      Thanks. You are the second person to recommend them.

    RE: the computer fan, there are a number of factors that could make the fan more noisy. the most likely is that the bearings are wearing out. Fans are usually a cheap and easy part to replace.

      Thanks for the suggestion. I think it’s just a perception difference. New York has a lot of ambient noise which my fan blends into. My parents live on thirteen wooded acres and the house is quiet.
