Update on Site Errors

I am very pissed off that the migration to the new server has been done so poorly and that Superdrewby is still not back up and running. As far as I can tell, it seems that all the scripts on the site that control content, members information, personals, entertainmet news and reviews, advertising, and my own email from superdrewby does not work at all. The pages where only static HTML is splayed such as the stories, columns, boys etc are all fine, but you will see on every page a message that says.

Until the hostinh company - Blue Domino comes back to work in about 24 - 48 hours they will not be responding to my numerous emails to fix the site and get it back up and going. Considering I pay quite a lot of money to have this site hosted by them I am very pissed off that this is occuring and especially annoyed that there has been no corrospondence to me explaining what the problem with the server is and why my site is not working!

Server Migration Issues

There are still major problems with superdrewby after the forced migration by my web host Blue Domino. I have to say I am not happy with the service or the chnages that have happened. I get very annoyed when terms and conditions just change even though I am already on a contract with them.

So far they have changed, the hosting limit, it went from unlimited storage to 500 Meg, Email, they now stop my site from sending multiple mail! Can you believe it so that means I am going to have to hassle the crap out of them to get Superdrewby back up and running properly. That said though, at the moment the entire site is not working because of the migration so I have to look into it to see exactly what is happening. I am not happy with this company - So the moral of this story is DO NOT USE BLUE DOMINO FOR WEB HOSTING!.

Advertising

I am thinking of getting rid of the advertising on this site. So far it has netted me n entire $3.54 and I don't have confidence that money is actually being paid to me when the advertising is used. A few weeks ago I used one of my own ads to set up a new webhost for a friend. I was supposed to get a commission for this but nothing has come through. Use the message boad and tell me whether I should get rid of the advertising or not!

It's been too long

It has been far too long since I last added an entry to this page - I think over three weeks! So I decided to publish a quick rundown of what has been happeing in my life over a couple of short paragraphs. I have been really busy writing a new application for my company that I am hoping will become a content management solution that I can sell to small businesses. This has taken literall most of my time over the last two weeks, writing specifications and then building the prototype for the system.

I had forgotten just how complex it can be to really write a proper specification and then build an exact prototype where everything works. I am almost completed and should start testing sometime this week. Which means that I sit there for half a day entering bogus data and then checking each part of the input and output!

On other notes Lee and I hae been pretty busy, seeing friends and going out for dinner and of course keeping up the fitness regime. Last week we had our four week check and update of our program. My body fat has decreased by about 2% down to 9% total which is about where I want it and the boy has reduced his by more than 4%! I think that achievment is pretty amazing! The last week we have both been pretty lax about working out, with the boy run off his feet with work and then away for a few days, it meant that I worked out alone and he didn't. But that's cool!

Our program has now changed to a more weight lifting split program that is meant to help both of us put on muscle mass a lot quicker. We have also cut down on our cardio workouts from three to two, because we wanted to increase the number of resistance days we both get in. So there is another 8 weeks in this current program, but I reckon we will probably continue working out but cut back on the food and extreme dieting, as neither of usreally need to lose much more body fat.

Site Stuff

I was going the sites that refer traffic to Superdrewby the other day and I found that the American Legal Research Association (something like that) has referenced my piece in Columns on Freeom of Expression and also Age of Consent, so I am mighty chuffed by that! I have also received a whole swag of site awards in the last week - thanks guys and girls for nominating me!
