And, as of sometime a bit later this Friday A.M. PDT,
it's "all better* now".

*for certain qualifying definitions of "better" ... at least
it's functioning again, and apparently not worse off than it was
before.  We're probably also a bit closer to implementation of
a general migration plan off of that hosting provider.

And ... for only the 2nd time, of the many SNAFUs on
DreamHost.com - this one wasn't actually DreamHost's fault -
it was an automated credit card billing/payment SNAFU.
