It's about damned time. A fucking week later I can get into my site and perhaps actually use it. I can't even begin to tell you how pissed off I've been over this whole fiasco. I've had to go through three moves recently - all on the same host - and all to try to finally give stability. Everything was fine for a year but then they switched to another company back in October (move 1), then there was a problem with that company not having the servers configured properly so we had to hop servers within the same company (move 2) and then when they kept dropping the ball over the last six months - downtime, crashes, hacks, loss of email, file problems, permissions problems, etc. - they decided to move to another company entirely (move 3). Let me tell you, the excuses have run stretched thin to the bone. If things don't calm down, all four of my registered domains are gone. I'd do it now except, fuck, I just don't want to have to do this all again. Let's not even get into the fact that there were problems with the move (as usual), the fact that first I didn't have permission to do anything to my files, then for no reason that's being given despite the fact I'm asking repeatedly, my .htaccess to prevent hotlinking was suddenly "wrong" (though it's worked for two years now across two other moves without problem) and was preventing anyone from getting into my journal directory at all, AND the fact RR was so fucking slow that it wasn't until late last night (like 2am) that I could finally see my domain resolving on the new server. It's just utterly disgusting to be held at bay when you just want your fucking site to work. And now my login for my PhoenixFire Designs site isn't working. I've emailed them and haven't heard back. Instead of it pulling up my page, there's an under construction there. And my EM Site is down as well as my hostee's site. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.

I'm so enraged I can't even write an entry - and I have things to talk about (after a week, who could have guessed). Like, I have an appointment at 6pm tonight to get my vision checked and get a new prescription for my glasses. I've not been able to see through them for months now so we're going to try to get it updated. When you squint through your glasses, there's something wrong. I'm nervous about it despite the fact I know it's no big deal. It's just weird for me since I've only been wearing glasses like 2-odd years now and before that hadn't had my eyes checked since I was a kid.

I need to email support - AGAIN - since I can't get any of my subdomains to come up and I can't log into any of them. And they're not emailing me back. Fuckers. Bah. So pissed off right now. I don't need this and I don't need the fact that my drive apparently has errors either. I need to get the new HD installed and change over to XP so I can stop having my pc crash multiple times a day in the middle of everything and anything. Besides the fact I'm terrified of losing all my files like photos and such which I don't have any real way of backing up. It's horrifying.

So. I'm back. Mostly. Pissed off. Have a lot still to fix. No one's answering my questions and I have three downed sites. Joy of joys. I fucking hate when people promise over and over that things will go right; will be painless and seemless and it's still nothing but unrelenting headache.
