Well,  my personal domain ( brandonholtsclaw.com ) has been down now for more than 3 hours, when I contacted support at wpengine.com to see what their ETA was to fix it #1 they were not aware of my issue yet even though I'd opened a support ticket #2 they said it would "be a while" and suggested I "point my dns to AWS or something" and they would let me know when it was ok to move it back !!

Ummm Hello if I take the time to point my DNS away I'm NOT going to point it back, and all of this from a provider that specializes in Wordpress hosting ... get your act together ladies and gents!

I think I'll be moving my blog to octopress like +Jorge Castro or use the rock solid platform we built for +Joey-Elijah Sneddon on #juju to host +OMG! Ubuntu! , one of the two but it wont be on wpengine.com after this I'm afraid ... and I'll have a very very hard time not convincing others to do the same and quickly.

Boy I wish I could spend my weekend doing something other than this ...
