Warmth

Blog is still down this is for note taking.

 

It was another warm day in Regina, with the temperature high enough I felt like going for a bike ride. I got my tire filled with the purchase of a $1.00 Presta valve adapter at Western Cycle, and rode home.

The Rider game is on now, and they’re winning by 10 points in the first half.

Yesterday’s temperature almost broke a record, it missed by about 3 degrees, making it to +18 C. After being interviewed by Global Regina News in the morning, I finished working for the week. I went out to Classic Buffet, and had tons of strawberries. Then I was at the Plains bar, and listened to bad karaoke. Then I filled up with $1.049/L gasoline, and went home where I watched Ghost Whisperer.

And all’s been quiet on the Canadian Blog Awards front. It’s strange that there haven’t been the all out blog wars like the last two years spawned, and all we had to do was make the nominations closed to public view.

Blog Still Down ; On Global TV Tonight ; Where’s the Fish?

This is a national emergency! No, not my blog’s crippled state, rather the B.C. salmon stocks have crashed. Less than 10% of a commercially fished animal is still alive? Isn’t that what this means? This should have been the top story on CTV News last night, instead Charles and Camilla’s visit to Hamilton ran before this story! And the inquiry won’t even be finished by the salmon are supposed to spawn again. It’s a disaster unfolding in fast motion in front of an incapable federal government.

What if 7% of 7% show up next season, since that’s the new trend? Oh well, it’s just a unique and tasty life form.

I’m on Global Regina News at 6:00 tonight, and on the late broadcast as well. The Regina Car Share Co-operative is commencing full operations this month, and we explain car sharing to Regina this evening thanks to the journalists at Global News, and RCS member Brett who agreed to be interviewed today as well.

And my main blog software is still off, so you’re looking at my temporary blog where I can write until the main site is troubleshot and fixed.

Site outage

Site was causing server problems, so abandonedstuff.com is offline for the moment.

UPDATE: Nov. 5, 2009 Server problems returned suddenly at 1:00PM, so have to troubleshoot and figure out why WordPress is crashing the server before I can keep AbandonedStuff.com online. The site is temporarily redirected to [ tweetcommons.com] Here now, so it does something at least.

Transformers

Nov 5, 2009

The last few weeks I’ve watched movies I’ve not remembered to put into my blog. “Hot Shots” [9/10] is one of the funniest spoof movies of all time, and contained at least one actor found in the next movie I watched which was… “Transformers” [9/10]. “Block” from Hot Shots is the dad in Transformers. And he makes another appearance in “Transformers II Revenge of The Fallen” [8/10] which isn’t as good as the first movie, but has a lot of exciting plot to it.

Last night a group of my friends played The Game of Things. It’s a great party game, and creates a ton of inside jokes that will keep you roaring with laughter. I’ll never look at centerpieces the same way again.

Server Upgrade

There’s a server upgrade underway on September 1, 2009 at AbandonedStuff.com

We should be back at our earliest convenience. Hopefully you will be too.

The outage will affect sites affiliated with 1337Hax0r.com

This is another test

This is my latest news – test

I am just showing someone Don James, a content management system.

Monday blues

Not sure why yet, but Abandoned Stuff isn’t loading this morning, it looks like a DNS issue at first glance.

-Site came up again with nothing done by me.

Unknown problem January 26, 2009 – UPDATED

My blog is not loading at all this morning after 11:00AM…

UPDATE:

And it started again maybe an hour later. Dreamhost did not say why it was down.

Unknown problem on June 12

I’ve had no trouble loading my blog’s dashboard to make changes, but even upgrading to the latest version of the software hasn’t fixed the problem preventing my blog’s pages from loading for visitors. I’ll continue working on the problem, and can’t say how long it will take to get things going again.

–

UPDATE: Thought it was partly fixed by removing the HTML from the footer, but it’s now unable to load even the Dashboard pages, so a reinstall of the system, or some DB repair will be required most likely.

Yesterday I went to the casino with a new friend. They won almost $60 in one swoop, and lost about $25 of it in another by mistake. We had a fun time, and it didn’t matter that I spent/lost $4.96. After all, I already had a week full of car winning.

Then we watched a few movies including “Ice Age – The Meltdown” [8/10] and “National Treasure” [9/10] which was really cool, although I figured out the bad guy before it was revealed in the story.

UPDATE 2: The blog is repaired it appears, although I need to rebuild a new template (mostly for practice and fun). I think the WP Cache was breaking things, possibly due to a Dreamhost glitch, because there’s a borked file in a cache folder that needed to be moved before things could be all deleted.
