The New Look in Progress

Well folks, the sad truth is the problem was on my end not the server. Silly me, not having any experience w/PHP functionality. I was changing the database descriptions not the spot where I was to insert MY info. God, I was so embarrassed. lol

Anyway, I’m still fiddling my way thru this so hang in there. The new url just during the test phase is at…

Hiccups

Well, I’m on the new servers but there is some sort of problem w/getting WordPress up and running. After spending an hour online w/tech support they can’t explain why it isn’t working either. Everything looks correct but it just ain’t connecting….

You’ll notice some of the blog is missing too. I didn’t rebackup the backup after posting yesterday. Oh well, I can always re add later. Wish me luck w/the fix. They are supposed to email me sometime today w/details and a possible fix.

I’m Gonna Live

Well the good news, the doc says I’m gonna live. He thinks it might have migrated from just a viral flu to strep throat but no definite answers. However, he did tank me up w/lots of drugs. I’ve never been a big fan of drugs, over the counter or otherwise but, I’m to a point now where I’m just miserable. I start the day out feeling “great” and steadily decrease into “I hate you and want you to die” mode.

I know I shouldn’t complain. I’m rarely sick. However, when I am it is always seems to be a doozy.

Finally!

The server switch has been completed so now I’m just waiting for my domain(s) to be re-pointed to the new servers. blah blah blah.

What this means is my site will probably go down sometime during the day tomorrow. I’ll get it back up as soon as possible.

Blech Reloaded

I’m still feeling very icky. I thought I was doing better and then last night I had a low grade fever and super sore throat to go w/the coughing. Ugggh! I called the doc and they plan to squeeze me in tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, my voice hasn’t completely come back yet. I’m not going to work today either. Maybe giving the ole voice box a break will do the trick.

The domain is still in flux. Sometime between now and tomorrow it is supposed to be completed. Today would be perfect as I’m off and have time to kill. Daytime TV is sooo overrated. 😛

@#$%! Where is Moby?

I just found out I have to switch my domain from a MS server to a Linux server. Apparently, the last rep I talked to at 1and1 didn’t really know his biz because he gave me the wrong info. What this means to you, my dear readers, is my blog will temporarily disappear sometime between today and Wednesday.

Fear not, I will be back. I just may not be reachable for a few days. My entire domain will be affected. I could switch back to the old blogspot address but thats pointless.

I’m doing a backup of the entire domain now. I have to reload everything! I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much. 1and1 has been superb so far. No one is perfect right?

I also found a fantastic new template to use too. Totally different from the one I have now. Slick as owlshit if you ask me. *g* It probably won’t be up until late this week or early next. I want to get the domain back up and running first, then get wordpress intergrated. *crossed fingers* If all goes well, I’ll update the template last. Well that is the goal anyway.

Double Ugh!

I’m pulling a 16 hour shift today. Two 4 hour sessions w/the first starting promptly at 7:00am and then my regular 8 hour shift. I am beat! The first to teach the incoming academy class and the second for my CPR recertification.

I didn’t really plan it that way. I signed up back when I still had Fridays off. It didn’t really hit me that I was working 16 full hours until I got to work this morning. Technically, I’m not allowed to work more than 12 but since I’m spanning several shifts, no one noticed. *g*

I’m still icky but not coughing quite as much today. I’m hoping I’m back on the mend. I’m sure my long hours today aren’t helping at all. I hate Hate HATE being sick. Can you say CRANKY!?

Hear No Evil

Hmmmm. Me thinks someone needs a timeout.

(story
“Looks like it’s anal sex week,” Lou Novak loudly remarked as a group from the Life Long AIDS Alliance walked though the state House office building.
The group included a 13-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. The boy’s family had recently been forced to move because of anti-gay prejudice in his neighborhood.
Novak is first vice president of the Rental Housing Association of Puget Sound, a landlords’ organization.
The leader of the AIDS awareness group, Suzie Saxton of Yakima, followed the man into the public Capitol cafeteria and asked him what he’d said. She said Novak repeated his comment and told her people shouldn’t engage in irresponsible sex and ask for public money.

Now had this been the reverse, every christian group in the nation would call for a ban on any sort of “unapproved” visits.
