All systems nearly recovered

It has been a bad week. Work wise and family wise have actually been pretty good. But my VPS...it is a harsh mistress.

Finally got the replacement up in time for a client of mine to freak out that their website was pulled from an old backup. For as meticulous as I am about backing up the code I write (I run my own git server with a stupid amount of repos for every little bit of code), the page he needed apparently never made it into a backup. Ended up spending a night reinventing that solution. In the process, however, I did find that my old VPS would eventually boot up properly and I gained ssh access. Doing a backup now where I can access files, rather than relying on a snapshot from AWS.

After all this craziness, I'm feeling I may be in the market for a new VPS solution. The fact you get no support from AWS without paying through the nose is quite annoying.
