Just popping in. This "website" is still up, how nice.
So internet, been a while since we talked.
Pertinent life information for me:
1. Scotland coming closer and closer. Getting increasingly nervous bout that.
2. Still poor.
3. That's all really.
I still want a site mind you, I've saved everything from daveyoung.org but I just haven't had the time/motivation/inclination whatever. Gonna start looking back into that.
Anyways.
Bye. |
|
I've grown tired of this online presence thing. The need to document my life isn't really there anymore. I'll resurface somewhere else unexpected. Right now though my life happens. |
Well I guess there'll be no more daveyoung.org for a while, which sucks. I cancelled my account today when I saw dot5 took another 6.99 out of my account. I sent an email demanding (demanding! I'm authorative!) a refund, but I reaaally doubt that.
Kids.
Don't. Ever. Use. This. Crappy. Host. It's really just horrible. I've already bitched enough about the horrible customer service, but as a package, it still isn't that great. I couldn't even accurately tell who was visiting my site. Suckage. Not like my bitching makes me look any better, I did choose the fucks.
Owell. Oops. |
|
Why are there two white people in Trinity's black student union? I don't get it.. |
I've had this thing for less than a month and I hate it already. Half the colors on this site I can't change, livejournal automatically decides what they are based on my other colors. What the fuck? And no way in hell am I gonna pay them for their "advanced customization". I'm waay too cheap.
Come back website, come back. |

It's a really frustrating process and my host has not been all that helpful.
After seeing that my site quietly slipped away with no reason, I emailed dot5 asking for some help in the matter. No response. So I went back and emailed them again, but this time logged into my account so that maybe it would look a bit more important. No response. So I went to their live online help chat to see if I could finally get some answers. Here's the transcript:
Note: I'm not really impatient, but on average the guy took about 20min to respond each time. It was infuriating.
Them: Welcome to Dot5Hosting, how may I help you?
Me: hi
Me: my site no longer works
Me: daveyoung.org
Me: it just stopped working one day, i can no longer access my ftp or anything
Me: can you help me?
Me: hello?
Me: is anyone there?
Them: yes looking into the same issue
Them: Please give me some time to work on this
Me: okay, i'm sorry, i just feel helpless and i don't know what's happening
Them: Please check now
Me: as your site is up and working now
Them: There is no problem with your site
Me: no.. it's still not working
Me: i just got a 404 error
Me: ok just a sec
Them: It is working
Me: still not for me
Me: could it be because i'm behind a university firewall, so whatever changes you're making aren't taking effect immediately?
Me: no, that's not the case, i asked a friend to test it out that's not behind the firewall and it still didn't work for him
Them: yes that might be the problem but you please try after sometime
Me: so are you sure it's working? i'm only skeptical because it's still down for me
Me: it should automatically direct to daveyoung.org/blog if it is working
Them: yes it is working fine
Me: um.. okay, i suppose i'll take your word on it
Me: what was the problem?
Them: does the site workied there
Me: no it doesn't
Them: there was no problem it worked fine
Me: excuse me? i'm not lying here, it does not work for me, so there is a problem
Me: are you going to help me or are you just going to continue telling me there is not problem with my site?
Me: well you are of no help, i'm going to save this conversation so hopefully i can contact someone and complain
So that wasn't much help. So then I tried calling their toll free number hoping I could talk to an actual person. No response.
Finally, I found their "tickets" that they use to help customers with technical problems and am in correspondence with them. Though they still don't seem to understand what the true problems are (since my website works for some, but not for others, and they don't understand that they site that they say "works" is actually just that holder image and not my true website) and seem to be more intent on blaming on Trinity's firewall (which is why I'm talking to my school's ITS department as well), at least I'm on the right track finally.
So. That's it. I still don't know why by website just died all of a sudden, but it did. And it is such a bitch trying to get it all fixed. I do not recommend dot5hosting to anybody after this.

I have a habit. I don't know if it is good or if it is bad, but it reoccurs in my life in varying cycles, and I think it is coming up again. At certain times of my life I suddenly become very uncomfortable with my life, and I go about to change it around completely to fit my new self more amicably. This has led me to quit organizations, take up classes, spend entirely too much money, and sometimes make an ass of myself.
That uneasy feeling is creeping up on me again. And I think I know where to start this time around.

This isn't how this journal is going to look. Not by a long shot.

Everything was going so well to. We hadn't gotten into a serious fight in a long time, we were finally getting out together on a regular basis, receiving compliments, and well, having, I thought, a good time. So I haven't done any major changes to her lately, why does she have to walk out on me?
Why?
