fixed...again
Fixing the blog: Take two
After much fighting over the last day, the blog is actually rebuilding itself correctly. I finally tracked down the problem to a misconfiguration with the file path of where the MovableType CGIs were writing the HTML files to, since iPowerWeb, my new host, did not make the directory assignments very clear. However, thanks to the movabletype checking tool I was able to figure out where it was located on the server and proceeded to reconfigure it appropriately. So, if you can see this (and yesterday's ill-fated entry), I consider this to be a success. If anyone runs into issues with the new server, just send me an email and I'll try to work it out.
Also, the home theater people arrived again today to straighten the crooked screen. Supposedly the chairs should be here sometime next week, just in time for me to get my root canal. =( However, I remain optimistic that the theater will eventually become fully functional.
Anyway, I think that's all for today. Hopefully posts will become regular again now that I can post again.

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
