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.
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
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.
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.
My website is experiencing intermittent trouble this afternoon. No idea when it will be back up as normal.
I was in the US a few years ago and found that all of the payphones were asking 50 cents (USD!) to make a local phone call. What a rip off I thought, since it’s just 25 cents in Canada. Well, that’s about to change because the CRTC was keeping the rate at the reasonable quarter dollar. Now the blood thirsty phone companies will be asking double the rate.
I say we let them start charging 50 cents, as soon as they make their machines capable of accepting the 50 cent coins. That’ll kill two birds with one stone. Either they’ll not make the switch, or we’ll finally convince the Mint to start circulating the handy 50 cent coins, and possibly discontinue a now worthless coin like the nickel.

I was about to add the above blog entry to my main blog site, but the Dreamhost server stopped responding just a minute after the hotel Internet went up after it was down for hours. Perfectly bad timing I think.
