So, we brought the boy’s (Trey, Sam and my son (2 and a half), and Adam, Walter and Kellie’s son (4)) to the mall last night… We did some walking around and decided to let the kids burn off energy in the little kids area as Walter and I went to Game Stop to see if they had the elusive wii that he’s been looking for…
Well, it turns out that two 4-5 year old Mexican boy’s where bullying Adam, so Trey (my 2.5 year old) goes to his rescue, tears the bigger kids down, and puts Adam in a head lock and walks away…
Yeh, that’s right… My 2 year old kicked two 5 year old’s butts because he was bullying his wench (Adam) then reassured Adam that he was his wench by hauling him to the other end of the play equipment in a head lock… That’s my boy ;)…
So, for anyone who’s had the misfortune of being at my house and listening to my utterly random music collection; you’ll know I love music of every Genera… Especially the feel of Early 90’s Alternative music… Well, I came accross a band which kindles my interest…
Plain White T’s has a nice smoothe sound and actually have words you can understand! If you’ve had the chance to watch the ABC Family show “Greek”, they’re the band that does the intro and (from what I can tell) a lot of the music for the show…
So, I’d like to invite you all to go and preview one of their CD’s on Amazon, it won’t disappoint…
Disc’s:
Plain White T’s - Hey There Delilah
Plain White T’s - Every Second Counts
Plain White T’s - All That We Needed
Plain White T’s - Stop
So, I get a mailing to my www.undergroundnews.com email address from some “spades online” gaming site interested in our “US Traffic” as they put it… I go and do a quick google search and see hundreds of people whining about how this company (Cyprus based) is nothing but a scam…
A quick polite email to the (no doubt bot) person who sent me the message:
Upon researching your company through search engines, I regret to inform you that we are not interested in associating our community with your services.
Sincerely,
James Corthell
UGN Security President
I wonder what the response will be?
Ok, I’ve had my glasses for all of 3 days… I notice a smudge… I polish it… and polish it… and polish it… about an hour later, it won’t come out… What is this, a nick in my 3 day old lens?…
Honestly, I can’t understand how people can use this ulta thin plastic in their lenses… I used glasses for years with Glass, not one problem… Plastic? 3 days until I go so nutty I want to throw them through a wall…
I call the glasses shoppe, and ofcoarse the one place covered by my blasted insurance isn’t open on sunday’s; so I tried to leave a message… No voicemail… I finally found the direct line for their optical department, at least they have the courtesy of a voicemail line…
I call in and leave a short message, “This is James Corthell, i can be reached at blah blah blah number, I have spent the last hour trying to clear out what looks like a piece of dust off of my lens and it won’t come out, I haven’t a clue how long it’s been there, but I need to get it fixed as soon as possible. I’ve never had any problem with Glass when I had it, so I need to see how much extra it’s going to cost to get this fixed and how much more it’ll weigh in glass.”
Let us hope for good news, as I can’t stand this friggen smidge, it’s right on where my puple goes, and all i see is non-clearness and it’s driving me so batty that i can’t stand to wear the brand new $400 glasses…
Sad to say, our Dedicated Server is gone now, or rather it will be soon… HostNuke’s moved us back to a VPS, though we have about the same spec’s as we did before, only I’m assuming its newer hardware than the older stuff we had ;)…
CentOS5 as usual, Webmin/VirtualMin as before, PHP5/MySQL5… Email still served through Google lol… Our RDNS should be set out of the box, but will need to validate IP’s against spamhaus and check that new registration emails are being sent/received…
All that fun stuff! lol…
One heartache though, I went to upgrade Gallery to the latest build on www.corthell.net and the damned thing choked, so I sat here for like 3 hours trying to do a simple upgrade… The bafoon who responded to my forum posting on their forums said I’d have to delete everything and start from scratch…
The fix you ask? The versions.dat file was empty for some reason (likely due to the botched upgrade prior in the night), so finding a “recovery” posting in their FAQ did wonders to getvme back up… Took about 2 minutes to patch the file and run the upgrader… And best of all, I didn’t have to purge and start anew… As I would have cried lol…
I have a lot more to patch and upgrade on the new machine, and loads more to look up; so wish me luck, it’ll be a fun task… not like I needed another after what heartache’s this last month brought me… More on that, and more on the server migration later…
