I guess not so much blogging, but just having my websites up and running.
I did the host switch that I had been planning on, and it has been a complete nightmare. The FTP wouldn’t work for me at night, when I do most of my work. I was going back and forth with the support tickets online trying to get it sorted out. I’ve been dealing with people like Sergey Rusakov, Dima Ostapchuk, Oleg Korenyuk, Dima Skalenko, Sasha Semes, and Alexander Pachkovsky. Yeah, try to say that five times fast, bet you won’t get through it.
And today, the site wasn’t even UP. I called, and some foreign guy on the phone said that there was a server crash and it would be be back within 20 mins. Well, I took a shower, came back, and got the nice message saying “Thanks for using CPanel! If you’re seeing this message, contact your system administrator.” And it stayed like that for the majority of the day, until I came home, bitched to them over the phone, then went back to the support tickets to get someone to fix it. 2 domains were fixed, one needed to be fixed still. It wasn’t until almost 2am that the last domain was fixed. At least FTP is working properly, being able to upload at full speed is nice. I’ve yet to do a speed test on the server though, to see how fast down I get. Not really concerned about that at this point, I just want everything restored. At least WordPress is working without a flaw, and I’m adding everything back to the image gallery, albeit a bit slowly. The RAM setting in php.ini is only 16megs, which is causing a few hiccups but nothing major. The other domains seem to be working as expected.
I’m on a huge ATB kick right now. He’s probably one of the true great trance artists, not the random junk you hear. He’s quality. I’m loving it. Wee, randomness.
Really looking forward to the weekend. Get to see Kristi (!!), Jarred, Shelly, Risa, and Cori. I don’t know what exactly Saturday’s plans are, but Sunday we’re all going out sledding. It’s going to be awesome. Caz is the place to be, yo
Time to finish this can of Dew and let this last batch of files upload. Work tomorrow, shouldn’t be too bad.
