Oh man, has this been crazy. So about two weeks ago, the server randomly starts deciding that every other page containing cookies or ssl data will be a 404 error on my internal network. BITCH. So I'm like "whatever, no time to fix" (although I ordered SAT score reports sent to each of my colleges through a vnc connection to my server). Anyway, my brother comes home from college, notices how shitty the internet is, complains to my parents telling them it's my fault (which it is, yes, but still that's really a whiney little bitch move to go complain to the 'rents) and suddenly my network is a router. This fucks over all the websites, the active directory as i know it, the dns server, FILE SHARING, and so I take 4 or 5 days to reformat the server, then switch everything back to the server sharing internet instead of the router (my brother figures this out, but doesn't care cause the server is running beautifully now) and I just finished fixing up asp.net to finally work again on all the sites. I've added this one, .net, and joanna's so far, I'm moving on to the others quite shortly. Sorry this took so long.
Tragically, this is the longest downtime the server has ever experienced in its 3 year history. Don't remember all the three years? Visit the archive and start reading from post one.
PHEW! OK, what'd everyone get for christmas? comment within this post please.
Well Spork, I got a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, and some thermalwear so that I can start running again during the winter and stop getting so freakin' FAT (not that it's a bad thing, BDawg, just not MY particular lifestyle ... I love food more than you do (wanna fight about it?), I just dont' like the effects (personally) of eating too much of it.)
First of all, glad to see the Spork.com back up and running.
Secondly, I understand, Spork, that not everyone can live the "big" life. I've lived this lifestyle for so many years, I can't imagine anything else. However, I can see where it would be undesirable. First, there's that whole issue of not being able to put my head on ANY desk at school to go to sleep. Secondly, most stores NEVER have clothes your size. Now, at my size, there is no immediate health risk. I mean I'm not at a great risk for heart disease or high blood pressure. But, I'm not planning on gaining any more.
Ok, now for what the post actually requested: I got an X-Box, Project Gothem, a glass chess set (i just need to learn to play), and this STUPID book called The Bible Code. This guy finds anyway to make a connection between real life and this "code". Its completely random and has no set pattern. It gave me a good laugh though.

haha the bible code! i have no idea what it is, but it reminds me of this game i had on my (dad's) computer when i was just a wee tot. i forget what its called, but you were given half a bible verse or something, and they'd give you the choises for the other half of the verses. but you had to answer so many questions before the candle ran out. and THEN there was this other game, bible something, for nintendo? or i dunno. hah, good times.
ok sorry, that was pointless. i got nice stuff. and although im a material girl, i always feel bad for getting all this nice stuff. well john already knows all this, but im going to repeat all of it here anyway. because, im not sure. when my father buys a new computer, or scanner, or printer, or cell phone, they automatically go for me. my dad says, i am buying you a new computer! etc. and then he'll take my old one. i mean .. i dont know. im always happy when i get new stuff, but its like .. im giving my dad second best. and my dad deserves so much more. like john said, his dad got like 3 gifts, yet his money is basically paying for everything else. WHY!! it makes me cry. its like beautiful, yet makes me feel horrible. i want to give my dad an insanely expensive gift. but he asked for a simple black and white picture of anything, in a frame that he picks out. i dont know. i guess money isnt everything. well its NOT. i dont know. i need to sort out my priorities. :plays with new cell phone:
oh. i got a cell phone. and a computer. and years worth of chocolate. i'll be joining bigg dawg soon. ^_^
lol, go ahead and eat all the chocolate you want Jo. Nothing wrong with a little meat on a woman. ;-) Seriously, anyone, would you rather hold a hard rock or a soft pillow?
