Frustration

Thursday, May 6th, 2004

Renewed Lunaescence this morning; sent in the funds on Overnight and have most everything ready to go… until I check my e-mail and discover that they’ve given me a NEW account for my space. :-/ So now I guess I have to move everything to the new server, even though I’m not changing companies. Behold frustration at it’s finest, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve begun the move, but I don’t have a clue how I’m going to move the fanfiction and fanart over intact. Last time I tried to relocate the fanfiction area, I lost everything. X_x

I’ve written them and asked if I really have to move, or if there’s a chance I can just have this account shrunk down to the smaller size I ordered.

Echo’s fine, but I’m too tired and frustrated to write about her right now.

Okay, I’m Proud of Myself… ^_^”

First off, let me apologize in advance. This post concerns wallpapers that I’ve made and I saved them so that they’d retain the detail I put into them. Unfortunately, this made them HUGE files – even in .jpg format. I ended up having to pop them on my Tripod account, which means to view them you’re going to have to put up with Popups.

Last night, Nette asked me to do a wallpaper for her. I’d shown her the wallpaper I made after this current layout and she promptly asked if I could make her a Vampire Princess Miyu wallpaper. Well, so long as I have the time (well, not necessarily) and the inspiration, I’m always up for a challenge. Behold, very happy friend. ^_^ So, after perusing a site of simply gorgeous Manga scans, I totally inspire myself.

And let me tell you, the result is one I am VERY proud of! ^_^ Behold!

In other news, the domain is going to have to wait. *sighs* I could say that I don’t exactly like that CyberPixels isn’t big on GreyMatter and I’m not switching. I could also say that I don’t like HostGenie’s downtime. I could also say that InterDesign is too expensive at this moment, despite the fact they look like something I’d be cozy with. However, those are minor reasons. The main reason? I’m going to have to purchase a new computer soon. >_> This beast is drawing closer and closer to dying on me, it isn’t funny. And frankly, I can’t afford to have it die on me and loose all that data. It just seems kind of pointless to buy a domain if I’m not going to be able to reach it. So… once again, my domain is on hold. The thought of a new computer is great, but damnit… I had my heart set on a nice, large domain for junk like my wallpapers, blog, etc.

Such is life, I guess. ^^;;

Domain Coming Soon

Saturday, February 22nd, 2003

Been checking out CyberPixels. I guess we’re going to try them, so far they seem to be a really good choice, especially their “Extreme” plan. However, the lack of a record with the BBB kind of makes me a little nervous… but I suppose it’s better than a negative record. I’ll be calling the Indianapolis BBB soon to check and make sure there’s no bad records that haven’t made it online yet. However, I really like what I see. Their demo control panel puts alot of the others I’ve seen to shame. So nice! ^_^ So long as there’s no negative records on CyberPixels, I’ll be placing our order soon. Hopefully they’ll have everything up and ready soon after that, and hopefully with far less problems than Saturn Services gave me. Once I get the blogs moved over and working properly, I’ll work on redesigning, upgrading, and moving Legacies. I’m going to give it a more powerful message board, fanfiction/document system, art gallery, a better formmail, self-updatable CRSs, etc. etc.

Rambling along

Wednesday, August 7th, 2002

Ramble….. Wow, I feel incredibly behind in most everything and emotionally dead all at once. I’ve read everyone’s blogs and have no idea how to respond to any of you. I do alot of backspacing and stuff, but never quite come up with a response. I was like this too on the Customer Service Server today, slow day and got talking with some co-volunteers and just kind of did a lot of backspacing and hand flopping into my lap on quite a few subjects. I really need to get back to work on Legacies; I think I really did choose a bad time to create and run the game. I don’t have time for it to be brutally honest. I think once I finish up these CRSs, I’m going to have to say “No New Members” until I can feel caught up and in control of my life again.

Y’know… it’s funny. When I started really listening to the radio when I was twelve, I ended up at a radio station that played current rock. They were bought out eventually and made into this weird Jazz station and I ended up on a Pop Station I listened to until I graduated from HS. Moved to college, found another pop station. I stopped listening to it when I moved… move down and in the six months since I stopped listening, I can’t stand them anymore. I had a hard time finding something to listen to and then I found it. The same station I loved when I was twelve has gone back to straight rock. I must say, Linkin Park, POD, and all those really have started growing on me. (And unlike the Popular Stations down here they actually TELL you what you’re listening to and stick to the order they tell you if they go on a 20-song-no-interruptions program, so I’m not like “I really love that song, but no clue who it’s by. Oh well.”) Would you believe they’re the ONLY station down here that I’ve found that plays some of my favorite bands? lol

I am no closer to gettting my domain up. The places I REALLY want to go through only accept credit cards and I’ll be damned if I can get one of those. They ALL say I don’t have enough credit history, even for the Student ones – which I thought were for first-timers. So, I’m going to be waiting on getting them and just holding the course I’m on – get the bills taken care of and catch up a little on that massive “I want” list I’ve been nursing forever. Then, once I’m sure I’m going to keep this job, I’m going to take out a loan and get myself a new computer. I’m getting VERY sick of the blue-screen-of-death ™ and am going to get something nice and custom and not something cheap and generalized. I have so much superfluous programs that don’t appear to do much more than make me crash. I have two Support programs… one that will take you to this weird chat/MB setup and another that is supposed to check for driver updates and crap while you’re online. Neither work and both crash me. :-P I have sample programs that came with my computer, I don’t use them and can’t uninstall them. So hopefully by doing the loan thing I can get my credit rating up AND get something nice.

I’ve been writing Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction in my time off. Jasson and I have gone back to our roots and writing it in our “shard” style that Jinx and I worked in. By the time we’ve tossed the chapter back and forth you can’t tell who wrote what anymore. I have the main “shard” for chapter two, and I don’t give a bloody hell if it seems Mary-Sueish – anyone who goes after me for it can kiss my ass – I’m introducing an original character. I suppose the first chapter is pretty boring, since I start it at an classy-type auction. Hopefully Chapter 2 will net me some feedback on it, since I have some more action in it.

Gotta find a new design. I still love my Rikku design, but I need something new. I dunno, maybe I’ll do a Yu-Gi-Oh layout, since that’s my current obsession. Or maybe I’ll do something else. I nearly shit a brick when I went into my favorite store and discovered they’d increased their anime selection, but only the DVDs. They have all the RW DVDs and the YGO DVDs come out in September. Bills or burn a paycheck or two on DVDs? That is the question. …. Ramble
