Dreamhost Destroyed my Site

After seven, long, happy years as a Dreamhost customer, the last straw has been added to the pile. A fileserver apparently crashed, losing all of my current data, along with my archived data.

It does give me an interesting opportunity to “reboot” mattheerema.com; rethinking it’s purpose in the universe, which I will be taking some time to do over the coming weeks. Hopefully something cool will result on the other side.

Thanks for bearing with me in the meantime.
