almost!

tried calling tech support again. holdtime down by half – helpfulness greatly increased!

everything is fixed except for wordpress. issue has been escalated to a higher tech level. should be hearing from them via e-mail (again no time estimate given). i am feeling a little bit better.

totally befuzzled!

i have been trying for three days to get my last post published. it’s loaded on the site, but it doesn’t show up when i view the blog… drat and double drat!

so i tried installing wordpress on the site – even more disastrous. stupid thing won’t even show the log-in page. i’m on the verge of simply giving up altogether. who needs a blog anyway?

in a really crappy mood…

resolutions

in august?!!!

yeah, i’m a little early (or a lot late).

1. switching to mac is really paying off. so much so, that i practically have to force myself to use the monstro. not that the monstro is a bad thing, although it only runs vista right now. i will be adding suse to it, eventually. but i’ve decided to invest in one of the new iMacs. not willing to wait for the mac pro – i have the money for the iMac, now! and it cuts the cost enough that i can afford to get the software i want, and/or the cintiq monitor.

2. blogging is nice, but i really need to do it more consistently. i also need to start adding some more useful/interesting content. so i’m going to be scheduling myself “blog time” on a calendar. i’m also reviewing my archives, and trying to add some pictures, links, etc. this will make it worth running back thru the archives to see updated posts.

3. speaking of schedules… i’m always saying i want to learn some programming, a new language, etc. so that’s become a daily scedule, of sorts. almost like a “class schedule at a regular school. i just might put some of my “progress” into my blog.

i think that’s enough resolutions for the time being. pretty big goals i’ve set for myself; don’t you think so, too?
