Wheeew! Well, I didn’t vanished… I just got busy with a lot of “cloud computing” tasks.  :mrgreen:

 

After years of creating nice and great looking websites for my clients, I realized that I have to revamp my old website’s layout. The HTML version has been occupying my laptop’s storage for more than six months already. Though it’s not totally polished yet, I’m too excited to share it to the world that’s why I’m now officially launching it! 

 

Thanks for dropping by, please come back soon… ciao!

LOL!

No matter how I try to convince myself to sleep, my brain doesn’t agree with the idea. I have abnormal sleeping habits, I like to be awake from 12 midnight to 5am and sleep until 12 noon or so.

I’m not really depriving myself from enough sleep coz actually it’s one of my favorite thing to do. It’s just that I prefer to sleep during the day! Sometimes, I’d like to apply for jobs that have graveyard shifts! hahaha! I really hate waking up early but I have no choice during weekdays coz I have to go to the office so I sleep at least 4 to 6 hours.

Why is it that I like to be wide awake during those hours? It’s simple… I find peace in it. Nobody disturbs me,  No noisy neighbors :D , I can focus easily to what I want to do… I can contemplate. Is there something bothering me? Yes, there is and a lot. I always have deep thoughts on anything and everything that happens to me and to my surrounding. That’s one reason why I’m having a hard time sleeping, I think a lot. Oppps, symptoms of an Anti-Social person! Yes, much likely! I’m anti-social… a loner…I have my own world! I’m fine with my laptop, internet and drinking WATER. :D Everybody don’t seem to see it coz I easily get along with people. I talk and throw jokes a lot in a group!  I think I’m still normal. This is just the way I am.

It’s time for me to sleep now… Ciao!

Earlier yesterday, I finally purchased my own shared hosting in web.com.ph. This is where I purchased my domain name also. What made me do that anyway? Well, I got pissed of 000webhost.com’s free hosting service. Their servers are always down and it’s irritating! I’m sure you’ll ask me how much did it cost me to get a shared hosting? Well, my 1 piece of cigarette cost more than that a day! lol! See how cheap it is! What I’m just obliged is that I have to renew my domain name and host yearly but I don’t care! This makes me happy everyday each time I see my own place in the web.

Setting up my site again wasn’t easy as I have thought. Thanks God I’m a Programmer! :D 000webhost ftp wasn’t working anymore and I can no longer browse my wp admin panel. The DNS set up was messed up, I don’t know what they have done with it coz I haven’t touched it for months.  What I did is back up my wp database from 000webhost panel, opened mySQL script and executed in my new host those data that I need to make my site alive again.

How about my physical files? Thanks God 000webhost did not disappoint me. I discovered that they have this feature that you can still browse your public_html files even though your ftp doesn’t work anymore. I was also able to access my files by changing the ftp host name to the actual I.P. address.

At the moment, I’m transferring my files to my new host. I’m hoping that it will be better coz it is not free anymore!

ciao!

I haven’t written anything here. What makes me busy anyway? Freelancing…My Regular Job…Self-studying…Chores…Traffic…Four hours of sleeping…Lovelife! :D LOL!

For me, life is not a bore. As what I thought it was before. It’s full of problems, challenges, bad and happy endings everyday. Am I talking non-sense again? hmmm… I just feel like writing this early in the morning. I’m waiting for my Joomla installation to get finished in my other site. I just realized that I have to upgrade it. Took it for granted for months already. Lots of plans, I just don’t have enough time, I am thinking how to make 24 hrs longer. hehehe!

Only 700+ files left to finished uploading. 30 minutes more and I’m heading to sleep. I need to be up by 9am, Overtime… My life has never been this busy!

It reminds me a lot of my first days in Manila, happy days, not-so-happy days and just ordinary days. :D I’m actually leaving my comfort zone but I have decided already. Here’s our new place:

]]> http://cathylopez.com/2008/07/18/moving-out-and-moving-in/feed/ 0 Today is not my DAY! http://cathylopez.com/2008/05/28/today-is-not-my-day/ http://cathylopez.com/2008/05/28/today-is-not-my-day/#comments Wed, 28 May 2008 04:00:13 +0000 cathy http://www.cathylopez.com/?p=11 I woke up 7:01 A.M. I am supposed to get up earlier because I’m bound to Lipa City for Technical Support. I simply hate waking up early! I’m such a nocturnal person. I had a quick shower and wore my clothes for 5 minutes! Wheew!
I left the house at 7:35 A.M. and I have to bear the irritating traffic from F. Reyes St. to Sta. Rosa Comm’l Complex because all the shuttle buses are there. I arrived to Complex 20 minutes after (if there’s no traffic it should only take 5 minutes). I went to the terminal, paid my fare and I was just waiting for shuttle to leave when my phone rang. It was my boss telling me to postpone my Lipa appointment and just go back to Santa Rosa City hall because I’d be coming with the SR Group going to Tagaytay the next day! WTF!
So, I went back to the city hall. I took a little rest and opened my laptop. As part of my daily routine, I checked my website and see how’s it going. To my surprise I can’t browse it! WTF again! I checked my web host’s administrator account and found out that it’s having an issue with my DNS!

Here’s the error:
Your domain is not yet pointing our server, so services such as FTP, Website Builder or File Manager may not work. You need to update name servers to ns7.000webhost.com, ns8.000webhost.com for your domain. This warning will be removed once your domain will start resolving to our server (24-48 hours after name server update).

I checked my domain registrar and found no problems there, it was pointing right to ns7.000webhost.com & ns8.000webhost.com name servers ever since the day I set up the queercloset.co.cc. I sent a report ticket to the 000webhost for them to fix their own problem. I just hope this will be fixed soon coz I simply can’t live a day without seeing my queer website. It definitely ruined my day up to this very moment I’m writing this blog! Wheeeww!

Adios!
