Creature of habit. 1:58pm, September 8th, 2009:
Yes, I am one of those people who finds old habits hard to break. Case in point: renewing my domain and/or its hosting annually. Since 2004, I have forgotten to renew one or other of these two things every year except 2007, thus resulting in the site going down for a few days or weeks around April/May. This year, however, I got really complacent/busy/insert excuse here and forgot to renew it for a long time, and the people who I'd registered the domain with let it go completely. Fortunately, I've actually been wanting to ditch those guys for a while now to get my domain at the same place as my hosting (the ever-awesome 34sp, who have further earned my love with their support in fixing this current mess!), so I wasn't too fussed about the old guys dropping my domain. It did however mean a few months where neither I nor anybody else could pick the domain back up. Ooops! So, here we are 4 months later and I've only just got it all back up. Nobody noticed anyway, right? *innocent whistle*
Anyway, yeah, hmmm...
I wasn't lying back in March when I said the new site was all but ready. In fact, it still is just as close to being ready as it was back then. I got distracted by approximately one zillion other things though, and haven't touched it in months. Let's just leave it at "as soon as it's ready, you'll know", OK? Hopefully very soon though. The very dull, repetitive, hand-coding nature of updating this site is actually a huge factor in why there have been bugger all posts here for a couple of years, so I'm dying to get onto a new, easier system.
Speaking of priorities, I'm off to that university place in just over a week. Spiffing! Should provide me with plenty more ways of being busy, and probably stressed out too. All good fun though.
Anyway, back later. Have fun!
