I think that the geometric retry is a bit overkilling. It is probably enough to wait, lets say, 5 seconds if the first attempt fails. I'd never wait more than 5 seconds... in any case sleep has the granularity of seconds... So even if you solution is teoretically elegant I think that a second attempt after few seconds is enough.
