I feel blown away

I'm migrating my ~1,000 visitor site to Linode from DreamHost (their private servers suck, had to get one for wildcard domains(!)). So far, Linode has been the bomb. It was a snap to get started and deploy my 32-bit Debian Linode.

Wow. Did you use a coupon code to get that deal?

No, although I could have.

Just in case English is not your native tongue, in English, to be "blown" means that someone performed oral sex on you (hence Derfy's reply). I think the words you're looking for are "blown away", which means something completely different.

Yes, I meant blown away. And English is my native tongue.

Well, to make this all a tad more complicated, and possible akward; I've been using Linode for close to a year now, and I must honestly admit feeling blown sums it up pretty well.

I can always hide behind the fact that English is not my native tongue though ;)

On the other hand, now I'm moving a network of wikis that have over 30,000 visitors now. Linode is coping well. In fact, I went ahead and upgraded to a Linode 768!

For the record, my tongue was firmly in-cheek at the time. :)

Glad to have you with us!

That's what she said!
