Second, you’d probably noticed that I haven’t really been updating much.  Just like Horo who’s been busy and been stressing in real life, same thing is happening for me as well.  Been stressed to the point that I really don’t feel like playing or watching anything and slept for the most part of the day and go to work at the evening.

Anyways, I’ve started picking up on C# again since I should really learn how to program, got some ideals in mind that I was to start programming.  I started back up a few weeks ago after a co-worker was kind enough to give me a copy of Visual Studio 2010 (which, in my opinion, is actually a big upgrade from 2008 because of the nifty .NET 4.0 added features).  So I’m learning that right now and trying to get myself better at it.  Look forward to a few applications that I’ll be making when I get better at programming.

Other things that’s been happening in my life is that I’ve been watching some old series that I haven’t either started watching or didn’t finished watching (most of the series I’ve started from the beginning).  I’ve decided to wait until batches came out so I’ll just download the batches and watch them that way until I catch up (which might take me months depending on how motivated I am).  Current series includes: Air Gear, Nagasaret Airantou, and Ghost Hunt.  Those are only a few that I’ve been switching back and forth on, there’s many, many more that I’m watching but too many to list off.  What I might do is change the format of my little rant space here.  See, I was originally going to use this space to also review anime series as well but haven’t in a long due (mainly due to what I stated above) so I might review some older series until I’m able to catch up and actually decide to start downloading episode by episode of newer series.  Who knows, but stay tuned to find out.

Anyways, can’t really think of anything else to say currently so I’ll leave it here for now.

What was the over all issue?  Well a few things, actually.  First of all, the Down For Everyone Or Just Me site indicted that it was down for everyone even though everyone I know of could access it just fine so I decided to change my site’s IP address over away from my dedicated IP over to a shared IP (which would explain why some of you either gotten some Default Home Page message or just a blank page).  That caused the Down For Everyone site to say it’s up but that doesn’t changed the fact that zenical still was unable to access my site (still was getting DNS issue).  I even went as far as to make sure the DNS Zones was setup correctly (which it wasn’t but now it is ^^;; ).

It pretty much all came down to having to know what her IP address is and she was unwilling to provide me her IP address because “it would changed.”  Yes, I know that already, I work for an ISP so I know how all that stuff works, which also means that you will stay in the same IP Address range, which is all I really needed to know.  After a few days later, Bluesnow, once again, spoken up and told me that zenical was using a proxy.  Once again, I wish someone told me this sooner as I added a whole bunch of IP addresses that are known spammers and those who will attempt to take over the server to use for illegal activities (even more so since I have seen a lot of brute force attempts to my FTP and SSH).

Over all, I restored the old denied hosts rules into my firewall prior to where I added the lists of known bad IPs and low and behold, zenical is able to get the site now!

Now, I’m not writing this up to point blame on anyone, I’m writing this up to show as an example that if no one tells me that something is broken (like you were able to access the site once but not anymore), let me know that it’s broke so I can fix it.  You know that saying, “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.”

I mean, come on, just look at how many different ways you can get a hold of me?  You can get me on Twitter, Crapbook, email, MSN, YIM, IRC, AIM, etc. (grated that most instent messenger programs I’m invisible most of the time so you just have to send a message and hope I’m there).  Just Google scsa20 and you’ll find me on sites that I’m active in as well where you can contact me through.  So no reason why you can’t get a hold of me.

Moral of the story?  Let me know if something’s broken :(

Still trying to figure out how to add facebook and a few other site’s support on it, though.

Anyhow, the picture was done on commission at the beginning of this year done by a great artist on deviantART screen named Lavender-Ice.  You can actually see the original picture done by Lavender-Ice by clicking here.

Also, in the sprit of Hatsune Miku’s birthday, I thought this header was fitting (and yes, it is Hatsune Miku’s birthday).

Characters in the picture: Girl in Red (on the left) is an original character drawn and colored by Lavender-Ice and Hatsune Miku is a character for the Vocaloid software.

So… It’s been awhile since I posted anything as of late and so I guess I’ll just post something quick (at least I hope it’s quick).

First off, I got the email issue resolved that I was having after weeks upon weeks upon weeks of bashing my head into a wall finally got it working so you may now continue to send me mail using the contact form.

Another item that’s up for bids is a possible new reviews (since it doesn’t seem like I’ll get my original files back anytime soon I figure I might as well move on).  So look forward to some reviews whenever I get around to it.

Got 2 new monitors and going to be selling my old ones, if you’re interested they’re 22” wide screen monitors, Samsung 226BW, still under manufacture warranty.

And there’s nothing much more I have to say currently… I’m going to bed now.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Joomla but I had nothing but problems with it.  I tried upgrading to the latest version of it’s software and it broke a lot of plug ins that I use so I downgraded it which is where I started having all the problems with script kiddies getting in and changing the front page around.

If they really were “hackers” like they claim to be then they would of also changed one of my other site’s front page which they did not because they weren’t hackers at all, those posers.

But since I was getting kinda annoyed with them keep fucking around with the front page I decided to finally switch it over to this software, even though it’s not yet ready to be aired but thought it’s better now or have people bitching at me because of my site “supporting bad guys sticking bombs up there asses.”
