Site downtime – my fault this time

If you were trying to visit my verabear.net and found an error page or something, please do not blame Philhosting. This time, it isn’t their fault but mine. I’ve decided to move my blog to a new server, but the new DNS propagated sooner than I could setup over there, hence the site not rendering.

Yep, totally my fault. I’m working on getting it restored REALLY soon. Fingers crossed.
THanks for having me in your thoughts!

Hosted by Dreamhost!

I am back in business! I have managed to transfer my database backup, and also uploaded all of my site files – I am officially hosted by Dreamhost now! Woot woot!

The posts are back! :)

Did you notice? My lost posts are back, my siggy has reverted to the new one too! 🙂 And something you won’t notice – I’m back to WP 2.7!

Several days ago, Philhosting support emailed to tell me they will restore my backup. I gave them my username/password but didn’t really pin my hopes on it. Two days later, voila! Granted, reverting to the back up erased my January posts, that’s no big deal since I had backups of my own already 🙂

Does this mean I’ll stay put with Philhosting? No. I’m just not ready to move everything to Dreamhost yet.

Speaking of Dreamhost… Alfred’s blog is all setup! I hope you go scoot on over there and wave hi! He needs bloggy friends too 🙂 Visit http://badodong.com

 

Day 9: Project 365

9

That’s a photo of the window to my left at work; I look out this window everyday, several times of the day. On this night, there were fireworks! Too bad I couldn’t capture a better photo, but it’s there somewhere in the middle 🙂 One other thing that’s good about this window? I have a big mirror! Haha! It’s not too good though when all it shows is my love handles. Hehe 🙂

Anyway, I have more Project 365 photos to post but I am already sleepy. Time to don lingerie and have some beauty sleep. Wait, it’s too cold for lingerie…

Windows Live Writer

Let’s see if this will work.

 

I’ve tried Windows Live Writer before and blogged a few posts to my Blogger blog some time last year. I read somewhere that there’s a plugin for WLW that will allow me to backup recent blogs? I’m not so sure about that yet, but that would really come in handy when it comes to real-time backups.

Anyway, I’ve been meaning to work on my Project 365 posts, but other things online have distracted me from the task. Hence, I only have this one ready to post:

8

That’s Day 8’s photo right there, taken while both Alfred and I were on our way to work. This was one of those rare occasions when our shifts started at the same time so we left home together. I was walking fast behind him to capture this image. On the first try I hadn’t enabled night mode on the camera so it was too dark. This one though brighter, my hand wasn’t so steady hence the shaky effect. Haha.

I am up-to-date with the photos, and I am happy about that. I really hope that somewhere in the next few weeks I’ll see significant improvement in the quality of my photos.

Okay, it didn’t work too well. It posted, but the formatting was so far from perfect and I had to edit it on my Admin panel. :(

Making the most out of it

I know I had no intention to post here anymore until Philhosting fixes the problem, or until I’ve moved over to a new host. But what the heck, use it while it’s there, right? 

If I have any readers left, well then, I appeal to you! If you know how I can retrieve some of my December posts, please let me know. I’ve tried Google and picked up some posts on their cached pages, but there are still some that are missing. Technorati only carries blurbs and not the full posts. Feedburner feeds for this blog have updated to reflect the posts that are currently displayed :(

On a different topic…

My mom bought this nice coat from Debenhams at Trinoma yesterday. She also picked up a pair of ankle boots from Confetti. She’s preparing for a trip to London in a few days. It’s winter so she needs to stock up on appropriate clothing. I can’t imagine what luggage she will need to use to have all her essentials packed up for a short trip. Her bags aren’t exactly Rimowa.  Actually, now I’m wondering which bags she’s taking. It’s a trip for work and she’s going alone. We don’t really know anyone in London so she isn’t planning to extend her stay for an excursion. Too bad.
