2008 …with a vengeance

So far I’ve done pretty well with the new year and haven’t yet signed a check, written a letter, or added code to a module with the wrong year. Dreamhost did. Badly. And it’s a nightmare for them, despite the forthright and somewhat amusing blog. Check out their Um, Whoops! here.
