Topic: What are you not happy about now?

[JP Yuri]

Make a backup of all your data and let me work something out okay? I'd rather not see your site go down for good.

Edit: okay your new & shiny virtual server is up and running now. Check your e-mails.

 

....

I don't know what to say. Thank you so much. I want to pay you back somehow.

I'll mess with all that after I get everything settled down and maybe get Internet access at home (I'm moving right now).

My new furniture was supposed to be delivered today but it wasn't. I even suspect why: they were supposed to call me in advance but they mistyped my phone number (missed a 1), and so they probably decided not to deliver anything. Which is BS because my address is correct and I was there the whole time. Now because of one shitty digit, I am afraid I gotta wait another week for a freaking bed.

What are you sleeping on now?

[Koveras]

What are you sleeping on now?

My old bed, the one that has been steadily falling apart for the last half a year or so due to advanced age. I keep it in shape with duct tape. %)

[Pulsen]

Amazing I got in!

It's been difficult to get to the forum. Is the server under another DDOS attack?

I had a failtastic day today.

Spoiler: Long post is long • show

[Bulmafox]: I had a...failtastic day
[MartAnimE]: why?
[GhostFriendly]: aww
[Bulmafox]: Because of several things
[Bulmafox]: It's kinda long
[Bulmafox]: Most of today was spent on riding buses and waiting, riding buses and waiting
[Bulmafox]: And someone I was supposed to walk with around the neighborhood flaked out on me
[Bulmafox]: I saw him a few hours later and he said he'd gotten sidetracked by other stuff
[MartAnimE]: gah he could have called     
[Bulmafox]: I thought *Well...that shows where his priorities lie*
[GhostFriendly]: annoying thing to happen
[MartAnimE]: kinda rude to keep you waiting
[Bulmafox]: Yeah
[Bulmafox]: Thankfully I didn't wait that long before deciding to go about my day
[MartAnimE]: at least that
[Bulmafox]: And then at Wal Mart I found the bath set I'd fallen in love with...
[Bulmafox]: Only to find out that it costs $35 and doesn't include a shower curtain
[Bulmafox]: And then on my way t odinner, I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings and came
almost right upon a couple of men who were walking dogs
[Bulmafox]: I turned around and briskly walked away, and hid in a storefront alcove
[MartAnimE]: unleashed dogs?       
[Bulmafox]: They had to convince me 4 or 5 times that the dogs don't bite and that they're just
puppies before I would come out and start walking again
[Bulmafox]: My legs were shaking after them
[Bulmafox]: No, leashed dogs
[MartAnimE]: if they're puppies and on a leash I'm sure you'd be safe
[Bulmafox]: They were pretty big t obe puppies
[Bulmafox]: They're puppies about as much as Farah is one
[MartAnimE]: large breeds can be medium sized puppies
[MartAnimE]: in any case, they were on a leash
[Bulmafox]: Yeah
[MartAnimE]: so you'd be out of reach
[Bulmafox]: That didn't reassure me though
[Bulmafox]: Because I was in the leashes' range
[GhostFriendly]: it might not
[Okoa]: the owners wouldn't let them bite anyone
[MartAnimE]: I mean with the owners there I'm sure they had it under control
[GhostFriendly]: but its okay not being comfortable around dogs
[Bulmafox]: Ah, yeah, true
[MartAnimE]: so what happened after the dog encounter?
[Bulmafox]: While I was ordering at a nearby pizza place, one of the (male) cashiers hit on me
[Bulmafox]: He said "Hi, my name's Simon"
[Bulmafox]: So I told him "Hi. My name's Sheila"
[Bulmafox]: And then he told me he liked my drawings
[Bulmafox]: So that had me racking my brain about whetehr he saw my DA page or not
[MartAnimE]: what drawings did he mean?
[Bulmafox]: And in the meantime, he said something about stars in the night and walks on the beach
[Bulmafox]: I'm not sure if he was talking about his interests, or if those are the drawings he thinks he
saw
[Bulmafox]: And I responded awkwardly with something like that I haven't drawn those, or rather that
I'm an artist, but I haven't sold anything
[MartAnimE]: does he know you?
[Bulmafox]: He said he hasn't sold anything either, except pizza lol
[Bulmafox]: I don't know
[Bulmafox]: But I* haven't drawn any landscapes or scenery or anything
[MartAnimE]: that sounds really confusing     
[Bulmafox]: So maybe he got me confuse with someo9ne else
[MartAnimE]: I don't think he could have known about your devart account just for your first name     
[Forlorn Hope]: back
[GhostFriendly]: a better way to start a conversation than some
[Bulmafox]: Also, another man hit on me on the way back to the bus station
[GhostFriendly]: hey brooke
[Bulmafox]: lol, yeah
[MartAnimE]: wb Brooke
[Okoa]: hey Brooke
[Bulmafox]: I was trying to figure out if he'd seen my DA page and how he heard of it
[Forlorn Hope]: I think the stars in the sky and walks on the beach part was just him hitting on you     
[Bulmafox]: Hi Brooke
[Forlorn Hope]: hi sheila and adam
[Bulmafox]: Yeah, me too, but I was too busy racking my brain to pay attention to the context
[Bulmafox]: Also, as I was saying just now, on my way back to the bus station, another man hit on me
[Bulmafox]: A middle-aged man
[Bulmafox]: He asked me how I am and then he asked me if I'm married
[The Manor]: romantica12 has entered at 9:07 pm
[Bulmafox]: I asked him pointed, "Are you?"
[romantica12]: Hallo, hallo!
[Bulmafox]: And he said no
[Forlorn Hope]: hi antonia
[Bulmafox]: And I walked away

I'm not happy that my company has put in a new internet filtering system so my internet use will be monitored (like going into chat).

 Aww so that's why you weren't around yesterday? Can you still go to MSN at least?

Oh no, I had a work related course yesterday. Today I find they installed a new filtering system which authenticates your name and email address so that has me worried.

My laptop is acting funny. Threw two blue screens over the past week (which it never did before), froze over today, and then powered off without warning. It was blinking with the LEDs but I didn't know that it was an error code, so I didn't count. Had it disassembled and vacuumed, just in case, gonna keep an eye on it... Would be sad if it's gonna die on me now, in the midst of a move where I have no other way to access the net and nothing else to do at home (except packing stuff, which is a bore).

No.  "DNS Server Problems" this time.  Just re-upped too.  Oh well.

Update: My laptop died soon after I posted that. Just started blue screening on me and refused to boot up. Judging by the blinking LEDs, it's either a memory or a BIOS problem (the damn things blinked twice after some crashes but trice after the others). I got my office laptop from work, gonna be using it for now, at least until I've backed up the data (my last backup was two weeks ago, so nothing serious would be lost), flashed the BIOS, and replaced the RAM...

[Koveras]

Well, everything should be seen in perspective. My grandmother died three hours ago.

[MartAnimE]

My condolences as well.

I'm sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry to hear that Koveras. My thoughts are with you and your family.
