The Anniversary of HTML…

Before I forget to mention it here – 4 years ago today was the day I started to teach myself HTML and I set up my first web page at GeoCities. A slow New Year’s Eve day at work … and things have never been the same. Wow, 4 years… December 31, 1997. Feel free to browse through the copy of my last GeoCities site here! Sooooo country!

Jason & I are off to shoot off our fireworks to ring in the New Year Houston Style! Or as I told the Tobyn’s when they called a few minutes ago – “we are off to shoot up!” HAPPY NEW YEAR’S to the gang on the East coast!

What a Day…

Yesterday it was surprise e-mails from the IO. He sent that same e-mail to my office as he sent to me at home. I wrote him back from here…

Please do not send mail of a personal nature to my work e-mail address. You have my home e-mail, and all personal mail should be directed there accordingly. Thanks.

His response was about as long as mine yesterday.

no problem

Ok, so moving on … I just got a call from my Mom. “What is a BlahBlahBlog?” My response? “HUH???” I mean, I knew what she was talking about, but had NO idea where that came from. Then I realized that on Christmas Eve I asked her if I could use the computer. I read a few blogs, and so they are in her address bar now. (Her history too, I am sure.) She uses that instead of bookmarks to track where she has been and return to websites, so it upset her to see “other” sites in there. Yes, you read that right. Ok, whatever. “I thought you were checking your e-mail.” No. I asked if I could use the computer. I went to websites. I asked first how to get onto the internet with freaky Verizon, and then I surfed some sites, including Amazon and others. I didn’t download anything. I didn’t hurt anything. *sigh* Ok, whatever. I am reminded once again that there are some people I can simply never make happy. FINE.

Anyone know how to block an IP from even viewing your site? Jennifer? Anyone? I don’t want to feel like I have to look over my shoulder at every move I make.

The Domain Addiction…

I have set up a new domain for my resolution / self-improvement project. After purchasing the domain I sent an e-mail to my hosting provider to let them know that I had set it up and to ask them to handle the DNS entry on their end. My e-mail went something like this:

Guess what??? I went and registered ANOTHER URL. I needed more. (I swear domains are worse then crack.) I already created the directory for it too… can you set things up on your end for me?

I promptly received a response from Ben, my favorite support guy at VeoWeb.

This was completed as requested. Please allow a few hours for the domain name to resolve if you have already changed the DNS. There is no fee involved at this time. Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

P.S. We are no way responsible for your domain name addicition. We warned you to go cold turkey before it’s too late, and you missed the chance. If you’d like, we can recommend a couple of clinics that might be able to help you. However, your case is so progressed that I don’t see much hope….

Ahhh, yes. They know me so well!

With Resolve…

As I was driving to the office today, I had an idea. I want to set up a “Resolution” blog. I would think it would be cool if it was a group project for the purposes of accountability. Anyone interested in joining me? Send me an e-mail or post a comment here and let me know.

At Least We Can Watch…

Since I can’t get a ticket to go there in person, at least I can watch Times Square live on the EarthCam! Hey Kathy – be sure to wave at one of the cameras for me! *sigh* I sure wish I could be there!
