Well, my first full day of being hosted on DreamHost went smoothly.

Until I got this e-mail:

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE VERY CAREFULLY!
Unfortunately it appears that your site is using more than your fair share of system resources on your shared hosting machine. Our system has flagged your account because it is using a large number of CPU minutes per day. We need you to trim down your resource consumption considerably. Should you ignore this or subsequent warnings your account may be moved to an evaluation server which could cause downtime. Specifically your CPU minute usage for today is 108.52.

For those of you who don’t speak Unix, I’ll translate that into English:

NOW YOU LISTEN, AND LISTEN GOOD!
We don’t care what you were plannin’ to blog about today. Drop what you’re doin’ and start reprogrammin’ your code right this minute, or you won’t have a blog, paisano. And we’ll be checkin’ up on you to make sure you’re doin’ it too. We can do this the nice way, or the not-so-nice way. Capisce?

I am opting for the nice way, so I’m editing my code.
