Dreamhost Update
Everything seems to be back to normal. I fixed it by going Dreamhost PS JeffM one of the Dreamhost support guys was sympathetic to my situation and fast tracked the Dreamhost PS setup. I also got a monthly discount on that PS and this helped in my decision to stay with Dreamhost.
I did do some more research on the 500 error problem. I found that this error has everything to do with resources. Dreamhost then confirmed this by e-mail when the PS went through. The e-mail reads:
Sometimes, if you’ve set your levels WAY too low (you’ll get “500
internal server errors” or other problems), you’ll need to reboot
your private server (it’s super-quick) before resetting your memory:https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=vserver.reboot
Which to me confirms that resources on the shared hosting server are over taxed causing 500 errors. Maybe Dreamhost should consider allocating more resources or reducing the amount of websites per server.
Being the cheapest is nice but being the most trustworthy one would be better. If you do a search on dreamhost problems on google or search Dreamhost on twitter you’ll see the 500 error pop-up almost every day.
You would think if this happens so much they would permanently fix it instead they blame the customer.
As said my problems are fixed and I’m happy for now. I can now get back to blogging and writing articles. Because of all these problems I have some huge backlog of hardware to review and article ideas to work on.

Dreamhost “Uber Fail” On Jubilee
I just moved hosting of all my domains to Dreamhost. All was well until Sunday morning (17th of may) at about 1:32 AM or so, an error 500 showed up. All of my blogs run on one Wordpress installation using a method called Virtual MultiBlog. This means that all blogs also share the plug-in directory.
The Marcy Report Part II
Another bedside update. Marcy is doing fine she has some pain and discomfort. We expected that. Right now she is sleeping. She wanted to go visit Pauline earlier so she walked over there. It was a brisk walk and she decided it was better to go back in a wheelchair after visiting for a bit.
Just in case anybody is wondering Pauline will be going home (well to a motel room at least) today, she doesn’t want to so they might decide to keep her, she is doing good as well. She says she has almost no pain unless she turns on her side.
After she got back to the room she was ready to take a nap. They where talking earlier about releasing her but when while sitting next to Pauline the RN walked in and she said proberbly tomorrow. Which is fine by us. She still needs to go to the bathroom. They pulled her hose lol. She also needs to finish some more water.
Okay need to go while she is sleeping I’m going to grab a bite in the cafeteria (my diet is non existent over here, no healthy options and this is a hospital 
) at least I’m still drinking diet. I guess I’m just going to have to compensate when we get home.
More later………
The Marcy Report
Marcy as you all know had her surgery yesterday. Doctor Ali says she did great. There where no complications. Today she has the normal pains which are being treated with pain killers.
She would have gotten up at 4am but she was nauseous. We will try again today. For those who don’t know she has to get up and walking because of the blood cloths. To prevent those they don’t only put the leg cuffs on they also want you to walk.
The picture above is from today. The most pain she is having right now (which you can read of her face) is from the headache. This headache is from the morphine which they stopped just now. She will be getting tylenol instead. The other pain that bothers her the most is her back. This is from the bed. The bed has a mattress on it that feels like brick.
More when I know more later.

Wow How Busy Can You Get
It’s been a while since my latest post here. But I have a good reason I’ve been very busy writing for Bright Hub and madberry.org as well as on of ours newest projects bariatriclinks.com. When I have weeks of writing that much tehn it’s kinda overkill to also blog on this blog.
Good news though Marcy finally has her date she will be going under the knife on March second for Gastric Bypass Surger.
I’ve been ordered by the doctor to get of my laptop. I’ve been fighting a cold that doesn’t seem to wanna go away. She ordered rest and fluids.
Between Marcy having surgery and me having to rest it should be a week or so before I can get back to work.
