database server fixed

FINALLY!

The server went down as I went away for vacation at the beginning of the summer, and I haven't had a free day at home until now. As a result, I could not update this blog and the forums were down. BUT NO MORE! THE REGULAR ENTRIES WILL CONTINUE!

I AM ALIVE!

*ahem*

Otherwise, today was a relatively normal day. Tyler and Dad are out in Wyoming visiting his godmother, but I stayed home because I didn't want to go, and Mom hurt her foot a few days ago and stayed behind too.

I also tried to reactivate my Final Fantasy XI account, and realized that Square Enix uses the absolute worst stupidest most annoying registration system ever. Everyone in the game is assigned an ID number, and basically if you lose it you need to rebuy the game. I finally got it back after about two hours of fighting with thier tech support. They ended up asking me to give them my Name, CD Key, address, birthdate, and they still wanted the last four digits of the credit card used to activate the account. Well that credit card was destroyed after there was a fraud issue with it, and it took us even longer on the phone with the bank's customer service to get the last four numbers of the card to give to Square just so I can get my LOGIN ID back (I remembered the password)

And I thought SOE was bad
