— I hereby add Verio to the Axis of Evil. These yahoos upgraded their perl installation to a version that uses a different database format than the old one, and they didn’t provide users access to the conversion program or the path to the old perl. So all Movable Type users on Verio have been unable to login to their own Blogs since 9:00 AM Monday.
Verio must die.
In my professional life, I’ve had many dealings with Verio. While they are not as bad as UU.net was, they were an absolute pain. They balked at letting customers have access to their machines and had a famously slow response to any issue.
They are not on my favorites list.
