02JulConnectivity Issues

Sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve moved.. again and am now experiencing some major connection issues with my internet service provider.

It always goes a little wonky when I move my computer but this is just ridiculous.

First things were sliding downhill and I didn’t have the heart nor the energy to talk about them in my blog. I’m a personal blogger and in all honesty, my blog is my sanity. A place where I can talk about anything that’s on my mind, big or small with no worries as to who’s around to judge or ridicule me. But at the same time I don’t want my blog filled with post upon post of nothing but bad happenings.

Now that a little peace has returned to my life and I’m ready to blog again my internet connection is all but broken.

I’ve been trying, in vain, to update comotized for the past five nights.

Am I annoyed? A little, am I pissed off? You bet, but what can I do that I haven’t already done?

I’ve reinstalled the software, checked my modem, checked all my computer cords, rebuilt my connection options and a whole host of other fruitless things.

I’m trying my best to be patient but patience has never been one of my strong points and as much as I love my cymbalta.. it’s not a miracle drug and can’t fix everything.

Now an internet connection might not seem like much to you, and normally it doesn’t mean that much to me either but I’ve got a ton of work I need to get done and not being able to make any sort of dent in the pile is more than a little frustrating.

I incinerated windows live writer because I only used it once but man am I wishing I had left it on my hard drive now. The draft posts would deffinately come in handy and the interface sure beats notepad by a long shot.

But I’m used to notepad so it really isn’t all that bad. I can deal with it, now weather or not I can connect long enough to copy and paste this into the wordpress write panel is another question.

I’m also sorely pissed off about the loss of my beloved firefox. It died many months ago but I still miss it. Internet Explorer is a no-no for me and even though Opera might be fast it has a lot of internet explorer tendancies that I can live without.

The cache system might as well be identicle to internet explorer, the skins suck, the security is questionable and it’s only ‘lightning’ fast for the first five seconds you have it open.

I’m tired of having to refresh a page 10,000 times just to see where I edited something and added a period to the end of a sentence or fixed a typo. And I’m really.. really tired of seeing time out errors.

My computer is old but does it have to be grumpy too?

Add the computer problems on top of the life problems and I’m more than ready to find a nice dark hole to crawl into.

I won’t get into the details just yet, I’ll leave that for when I can actually type in my administration panel.

But god do I hate computers sometimes!

I’ll return comments whenever my connection gives me enough time. I know I’m late but I haven’t forgotten I promise!

27AprRunning Paragraphs

Something seems to be wrong with the paragraphs in my blog.

For some reason they’re all running together. I’ve dug and prodded for four hours trying to find the cause but so far have been unlucky.

You’ll have to squint your eyes and bear with me for the time being until I get things sorted out.

There’s also a problem with my quilting bee page and yet again, I have no clue what’s going on.

I’ll figure it out eventually, until then.. you’ll just have to deal with it *shrugs*

27FebA dunce with a ten foot tall cone-cap

Is it just me or does comotized go from one issue to another?

I joined Snark the other day (love it, you should totally join me in my procrastination efforts there!) and left my standard ‘I’m a cheeseball’ introduction post only to find out that comotized randomly hands out 403 error pages!

Now I’m guessing (and was told by a fellow snarkian) that the problem resides somewhere in my .htaccess file. So I opened it up and dug through it.. and dug through it some more.. I got about ass deep before I figured out I had zero chance of finding and fixing the issue on my own.

I mean, let’s face it, I’m not the brightest crayon in the box. If I were a crayon I would probably be a moderately bright (here’s where the ‘dare to dream’ scenario comes into play) blue tone.

So now I’m sitting here wondering what the fuck I’m going to do and how the hell I’m going to fix it. The way I see it I have two options:

  • Post the issue on snark, notify them of my stupidity and pray to god someone will pity me enough to help me out (I’m sure they would, they kick ass that way)
  • Send an e-mail to a small orange and say ‘hey, I’m stupid, can ya help me find this little error thing??’

In either case I look like a dunce with a ten foot tall cone-cap on a 5′1 frame. Not the best way to present yourself, but there it is.

On top of that I’m almost dead broke. All of our (mom and I) cleaning jobs have cancelled for this month. So I made a grand total of $0.00 and spent.. god knows how much in gas.

I’m really starting to get pissed off. I’m used to not having a lot of money and that’s cool with me, I’m not the shopping type, what’s not cool is the fact that unless you know or screw someone within a company in this town, your ass ain’t gettin a job. Period.

I really wouldn’t care if I was dead broke all the time but with comotized being my outlet for what otherwise might hurt or offend those around me.. I’m starting to worry weather this poor little domain will make it another year. $29.95 (net bill + hosting bill + domain renewal cost) might not be a hefty bill to pay but when you’ve only got $2.00 in the bank and job hunting isn’t working out.. it’s the pits.

But that’s life, so what can ya do about it?

10Octoooh, kinkay

Upgraded the blog to make switching hosts an easier job but there’s still a few kinks left to work out with some of the plugins and some template tags need updating.

if you see any errors floating around, give them a flick and pass them by, I’m workin on it.

A Small Orange.. here we come!
