Finally…
Though the title, and the fact that you're here now, says enough already, I am happy to announce my new server and websites are back up at yet another new host.
Over the next few days, I'll be tweaking things, updating my core WordPress and Drupal installations, and causing general mayhem throughout my entire environment. My monitoring systems need to be overhauled completely and until then I will not have any good monitoring in place.
Let me know if you experience any odd issues--I haven't changed anything in any of my databases or files on the new server, so it's possible something won't work right until it's updated. Although I've kept all paths identical to avoid many such issues.
Google Docs: Can’t I access my own documents?

It's been a while since I've created a new document in Google Docs. I usually just need to access old documents or shared documents from others. But today, when I tried to create a document, I received an error to the effect of, "We're sorry, you do not have access to this document."
I was logged in with the same account that I just used to create the document, so the error was baffling. There was a link to request access for myself, specifically displaying the same address as the one I created the document with. So what the hell, I figured--I requested access. Immediately I received an email, at the same account I was already logged in to, requesting access for myself. I approved the request and the document opened without issue.
So I closed the document, and searched for it in Google Docs, and then opened it again, and lo and behold I received the same Access Denied error.
I then remembered that last month Google indicated they were disabling offline access for Google Docs while they worked on a new version to re-release later. So on a hunch I disabled offline access and everything is now working as expected.
Perhaps I was not supposed to have been able to use Google Docs offline, but then why was it still enabled for me? Either way, it looks like I'm stuck using the Online version of Google Docs until the problem is resolved.

This has just been resolved, and all should be back online to stay.
