30 Dec 2008 | Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah x 100
W00t! My beloved blog is now working properly (and running sexy fast) again, all thanks to some snazzy database rejuvenation/trimming and esoteric WordPress optimization. Herr Database is now a lean, mean (but unfortunately not green) machine. Congratulate me. Yes.
In other news, I discovered today (whilst on my seasonal crawl for good Web hosting deals) that the much acclaimed, WordPress-endorsed Web hosting provider DreamHost was holding a Year-End Blowout Sale — sign up before midnight on Dec. 30, 2008, and receive one year of Web hosting for $0.77 USD per month, with a lifetime of unlimited storage and bandwidth! ("That's a $119.40 value for just $9.24.") Add to that their 97-day money-back guarantee and the free domain, and I was immediately sold!
My only regret is that I hadn't discovered and blogged about this promotion sooner. Awwwwwwwww, dudes… think about the lovely deals you could've nabbed! Well, I guess it wouldn't really matter, since readership is so low… but imagine if you were a bit more loyal. It hurts, doesn't it? To have such a golden opportunity slip through your fingers? HAHAHAHAHA WELL IT SUCKS FOR YOU, SUCKERS. FOR ONCE IT PAYS TO READ MY BLOG!!
*prolonged, gratuitous maniacal laugh is unexpectedly curtailed by a hacking cough*
Well, if you're quick, the offer ends in about two hours. If you're too late (as the proverbial death screamer would helpfully intone), watch these videos. They'll cheer you up.
Also see the interviews with Jon Bon Jovi (the American rock musician) and Zack Braff (the television actor).
Yes, my munificence truly has no equal. I love you too.
Update (12/31/08): THE SALE IS STILL ON, GUYS!!! It appears that Dreamhost is extending the sale — the deadline is today, Dec. 31! There's only about 40 minutes remaining in my time zone, but since DreamHost is based in California (I think), you should all have… 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Well… what are you looking at? Get going!

Hah, "We're sorry, but the clip you selected isn't available from your location. Please select another clip."
Dude, I think I've offered you hosting before. Anyway, if you are ever looking in the future, my domain will be an option.

Oh, ¡qué triste! I couldn't find the videos on YouTube, unfortunately. Do the external links (below the second video) work?
Hey, "dude"! Are we following a trend here? ^____^ Yes, thank you for the renewal of the bonds of our everlasting trust and friendship. I am aware that hosting at your place would be a worthy alternative.
