Merry Christmas, Pt. 1

Hey everybody!

I just wanted to say happy holidays and let you know that, no, I haven’t died (at least not yet). I’ve been very busy on a new design project, but I’ll get back to you about how my holidays went after that project is finished…here’s a sneak preview:

Anyways, I’ll see you soon!

I Need A New iPod

The unthinkable has happened: I’ve run out of space on my iPod!

I’ve just imported a bunch of old (and newer) music that I only had onto CD’s into iTunes, almost positive that it would all fit on my iPod.

Well it doesn’t!

I’ve just imported an additional 4GB of music…

I don’t want a new iPod (I’ll take my ghetto-retro green mini any day!), nor can I afford one! Help me!

Damn!

Frustrated

Well, frihost.net is not all that it has cracked up to be.

But, then again, what can you expect from a free web host?

All of my static HTML pages are working fine (albeit slow). My WordPress installation, however, could use some work. Every time I try to make substantial changes, the connection has to reset, which can get pretty annoying. There are major problems with the MySQL database (and I do not think they’re on my end). Most of my pages are showing MySQL errors that I cannot seem to fix. These errors often prohibit me from making changes. Some of my plugins are not working (namely WPVideo, which allows me to post YouTube videos), and the back-end is extremely slow. FTP is not working for me whatsoever, and DirectAdmin is extremely extremely (yes, twice) slow.

So, I guess I’ll be waiting until next month (when I’m going to have more money) and I’ll be registering with a paid host (most likely A Small Orange or Vasily’s company–the name has slipped my mind) with a domain name. Hopefully, I’ll finally be able to find blogging salvation.

In the past two years, I’ve moved from familyteen.net to sparkeh.com to meorrr.com to blogspot.com to wordpress.com back to sparkeh.com back to wordpress.com, with a short-lived existance on frih.net and back to wordpress.com. I have quite the history, don’t I?

An Update

As you may have noticed, I haven’t been extrememly active in the blogsophere lately. The main reason is that I’m trying to re-build by old blog databases. I’ve got hosting from http://frihost.net, meaning that I can host my own blog. Don’t get me wrong; wordpress.com has been wonderful, but I’m looking for more freedom.

I’ll send you an update when things are up and running. :)
