The domain http://www.jewel-staite.org expire two days ago, and as I’d been thinking about closing the site for a couple of months now, instead of asking to Gertie to renew it (she owns the domain) – I’ve decided to really go ahead and close  my Jewel Staite site instead. I’m sorry to came so abrubtly that I couldn’t give you forewarning – the expiration date snuck up on me, and I just noticed it today.

I still like her a lot and I’ll be following her career, but I didn’t really like the last few projects that she did, and I’d rather use my energy on my other sites. I can always re-open the site later, if I feel like it :)

Three servers are in early hard drive failure. Gertie has ordered Data Retention and all sites on affected servers will be moved to new hard drives ASAP, but because it’s three servers she isn’t sure how long it’ll take.

These sites of mine are on the affected servers:

According to Gertie, there will be no data loss but might be some downtime while the sites transfer.

I’m going on a hiatus for 1-2 weeks, due to personal, health-related reasons. During that time, I’ll deal with any server issues and problems and script updates as normal should there be any, but all other things will be on hold.

Cleaning Up & Refined Alert System

I went through all my sites today, checking that all scripts, plugins etc. were up-to-date and also did some general cleaning. I’m also taking into a use a further refined alert system that makes it possible for me to post hiatus, server problem etc. notices both on my main domain Crystal Fires that must have everything and only to the site in question (when it comes back online) unlike to all my sites like before – it’s also possible post it on the main domain as well as to either all sites if all are affected or to say to 3, if only 3 sites are affected. So less off topic news to each site with this upgrade.

This post works as a test of the refined system: if everything works as it should, this post should show up on all of my sites.

The server hosting http://www.viva-bianca.net is currently down – my host is aware of the problem and is working on it.  FIXED!

 

 

I’m going in for my third colonoscopy on Wednesday. Which means that tomorrow, I get to do the fun fun fun empty-and-clean-out-my-bowels-by-drinking-litres-of-a-foul-tasting-medical-concoction-and-have-a-diarrhea-for-the-entire-bloody-evening-and-allthroughhopefully-only-half-the-night- thing that is required so that they can see what’s what. That fun fun fun thing, non-eating (can’t eat until the colonoscopy is done) and the colonoscopy totally wear me out, totally wear me out so that I don’t like to keep my computer on as much as I normally do once I start the fun fun fun thing, and I won’t see the error etc. notices as speedily as I normally do if there are anyso I won’t be updating my sites for the next couple of days, maybe this week at all.

If there’s a server problem or disaster or something, I’ll get to it as fast as I can but propably not until Thursday afternoon/evening my time (GTM+2).
