I tried to access this site while at the coffee shop today, and the wireless was not connecting. Assuming that it was working, I got the “could not connect to redmonk.net” message from Firefox, and freaked out, thinking my site was down. I tried to hit the web panel at my host, and in an amusing freudian slip, I typed
panic.dreamhost.com
into my browser window.
That's funny, Steve.
The same feeling occurs when one's wife calls one on the phone and prefaces the conversation with: "I'm sorry to tell you this while you're at work but..."
Cue sinking heart feeling.
Moral of the story is, Don't Panic!! :-)
But I KNOW the feeling!!
