Yeah for people resolving to the new host! Now hopefully when I get home I will be too so I can see my own site! *laughs*
Today I actually did some work at my temp job. Imagine that! The owner wanted to set up an excel sheet to track the incoming leads and then to have a mail merge letter in word pull from the excel sheet and create follow-up letters. Many revisions to the letter later, a reboot, installing a new printer and not yet understanding why word on this machine crashes when you try to print mulitple merge letters, we did create our first letter today successfully and it's ready to go out in the mail. The whole multiple-page-crash-word thing needs to be resolved but I have a feeling it's just this shitty pc and all it's corrupted, garbage files on here from the nine people before me who installed everything under the sun on it.
Beyond that, ugh. Been bad with the headaches again. Right now my head is starting to feel like splitting open. Last night it was hurting and the night before I had to go to bed with a migraine ice on my forehead because I could feel the migraine was just going to come on full if I didn't do something. Think it's a combination of being under these damned bright florescent lights which really hurt, I gotta say, I feel every moment under them, and not getting enough sleep. Plus my neck's been all screwed up lately and that's leading to worsening of my head. Oh it's just a vicious cycle. My neck hurts leading to migraines which keep me from sleeping well which leads to my neck hurting....on and on.
These lights though. Fuck, I can't take them.
Anyway, it's almost one so I'm going to pack up to head out. Maybe I'll go home and try to take a nap. Ah...nap.... ciao for now.
Testing to see if this works or not. The domains are not yet resolving for me, however, they might for some people. I've gone ahead and updated the settings and want to find out if it's working to publish yet. *crosses fingers*
Ok, I've put in the order and changed the name servers. So! 24-72 hours and I should be resolving on the new webhost. I am going to call this done, download a backup of everything to date and get it all set up on the new servers so you guys can all find me again in the next day or two without problem. This means that I won't be updating here any longer. The next update will be on my new server. When you see any entry after this one, you'll know you're there.
Don't forget, if you need to reach me, email me at divine_incarnate@yahoo.com instead of my domain. See you on the other side of the move! :)
Ok, I've got the funds to swap the domain (yeah!), so I'll be putting in the order in sometime in the next 24 hours. The move should be seamless, BUT...I may poof for a little while during the process where we update the name server information. Shouldn't be more then 24-72 hours though. It happens with DNS changes and the delay is just the time it takes everyone's ISP to realize we're somewhere else.
I'm still not feeling well but thankfully, having been able to get this far - because of everyone's wonderful help and orders! - is at least one less stress. This might be my last entry for a few days but don't panic! We'll be back and shiney as new shortly on our new web host's servers.
In the meantime, if you need to reach me, don't do it through the domain as it will be shifting too. Instead you can use my yahoo account of divine_incarnate(at)yahoo(dot)com
Nervous but excited! Happy to be on my way to freedom from drak!
Yes I know I've lacked updates lately. I've just been so busy and stressed getting everything together for the upcoming move. I'm really close so in the next couple days I should be able to put in the order and then it's just a matter of waiting for the domain to resolve at the new location. Spent all day dealing with registrant problems (I had registered my domains through dotster, but through drak's reseller program of dotster and the drak owner was being a real bitch and said I had to change registrants as well.) Well I did and without problem or cost - as it seemed like it was going to take. Now I go straight through dotster and not the reseller at all.
Several people have contacted me and put in penguin orders or horn orders or made inquires about jewelry - I'm just so thrilled at the kindness and response of my friends. This situation would be disasterous if not for all of you.
On the personal side of things, I'm just miserable today. It's that time of the month but I'm way more exhausted and sore and tired and even out of breath then I've been in years. Something just isn't right and I couldn't even get out of bed today. I slept most of the day and even napped on the couch and still, I feel awful and like I'm honestly ill. It's just terrible. I don't have any reason for it because, as I said, since I've been on this perscription, things have been very easy and regular and controlled that now I don't know what to think. Yesterday I couldn't catch my breath all day and this morning my whole body ached so badly that it woke me up several times over night. It worries me and I'm already stressed over the move and all the bullshit therein that it's doublely troublesome.
I hope I feel better tomorrow and that I can get up and out of bed and get into my temp job. I have things I need to do tomorrow as well like hit the PO and craft store to fulfill my orders. Right now though, this isn't even my typical worst day. And it feels way worse then it has in years. What scares me is that you have to understand I was on doctor ordered bed rest monthly because of my debilitating cycles. Any hint of that again just panics me.
Alright, enough. I'll post more updates as they go along. Should have enough to put in the new order once an order clears. Which is good because I don't want this to have to go to the last minute.
My current webhost has emailed me saying that they will delete all files on April 5th. The move needs to be done before that or the domain vanishes. I'm really close, so if anyone wanted to help, please, I really need it. See below for options.
