If you are currently reading this then you’ll be happy to know that k.nu is moved successfully to its new server. In moving around accounts, I decided to move off main AGn-Solutions server (venus) and setup a reseller account on another server. Everything is still agn-solutions.net based, it’s just moved around a bit.

I’m still sick and running on practically no sleep. I’m at my aunts house right now and I’m not really enjoying myself. The Air Conditioner is broken and it’s like 90* outside. I had the AC in my uncles room on but now he’s got the door closed so there’s no air moving through the house at all. The one in the living room is on it’s last leg. It sounds like a car that’s out of gas. It keeps cranking and cranking and cranking but won’t turn over. It’s either out of Freeon or it’s just going to die in general. It’s 20 years old so you could expect for that to happen I guess. Either way it’s making me miserable.

I didn’t get to sleep until about 430 this morning then my uncle was walking around at 6:30AM and never picks up his damn feet when it walks so his slippers were making all kinds of noise. My aunts friend stayed here last night, she’s not as noisey as my uncle but people walking around in the same room when I’m trying to sleep just aggitates me. I was on the couch sweating my ass off. I woke up to take a shower, one of three. It kind of sucks but nothing I can really do about it. I don’t know how to fix an air conditioner.

My throat is acting up so I think I’m gonna lay down. I swear, I take air conditioning for granted. I usually have it blasting wherever I am. I’m about to curl up in my aunts room, even though her friend has kind of taken it over, but there IS air conditioning in there and I just see it as the only option at the moment – unfortunately.

I’ve been meaning to blog for a few days but I just haven’t had the energy to do it. I never went to sleep on Saturday night, I finally crashed for like 4 hours on Sunday afternoon. I woke up and realized that my day was shot. This didn’t stop me from staying awake until 6am Monday morning. So my schedule is totally shot to hell.

On Sunday, my throat was bothering me. By Monday morning, it was a cough and by Monday afternoon it was a full blown cold like nobody’s business. I made a promise to myself the last time I got sick that I would not blow my nose no matter how much it was bothering me. So I have no idea as to why I blew my nose yesterday because it’s been non-stop ever since. It’s driving me crazy.

If I’m not coughing, I’m sneezing. If I’m not sneezing I’m blowing my nose, and if I’m not blowing my nose I’m sniffling. So no matter what I do I’m basically making as much noise as humanly possible. I know it’s driving Bella crazy because she hasn’t been sleeping in bed with me like she usually does. Which I guess I don’t mind because the last thing I need when I’m sick is someone touching me. My sister poked me this afternoon and I wanted to rip her face off.

Purple fades…
My toe is slowly beginning to heal, it’s still purple but not AS purple as it was. I’m not sure if it was a ‘break’ though, I’m convinced it’s more of a hefty sprain because it still hurts to put pressure on it, even a week after it happened. I went to Payless this afternoon and got myself a new pair of mules. The swelling went down enough that I could fit my foot into the shoe without wincing in pain so I figured that was as good a time as any to go out and buy a new pair. They only cost me like $11, which kind of peeved me because the website said $7.99 but I really could care less at this point. I got myself some socks too, didn’t spend over $15 (which was the original budget anyway) so I’m not overly concerned about it. I know you’re sitting there like “Damn, cheap much?” but that’s really not the case. I use the slip-ons for house hold things like walking the dog, taking out the garbage, etc. They wouldn’t really leave the general area of my house so what’s the point of dropping anything more than like $10-$15 on something that is used only for ‘slip-on and go’ kind of stuff…you know?

To tan…or not to tan…
I went to Walgreen?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s, picked up what I needed for this weekend. I’m going to be at my aunts house. I’ll have my laptop with me so I’ll have something to do. It’s my goal to be outside soaking up as much sun as possible. She has a very private yard so I don’t have to worry about a child or pet midget popping up out of no where. It’ll be nice to sit back and relax without a care in the world. I’ll be able to sleep without a dog between my legs. I’ll have 600 channels to flip through and not be able to find anything to watch. I’ll have Figgy to keep me company when I’m really bored, and a deli right down the street for when I’m in the mood for my typical Sunday breakfast of yogurt and a croissant, whenever I’m at her house.

Sitely…
It took me a lot longer than expected but I’m finally on top of all of my listings as far as member approvals go. I still have a few hate listings to move over to new addresses and to upgrade them to Enthusiast as well. The database for Enthusiast is a bit more secure than the ones are for PHP Fanbase. I know that issue has been around for about a year now but either way it’s one I’m slowly working on correcting. I was considering just leaving it and writing in an image verification for the submit forms but I’m really not in the mood to fuck around with someone else?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s code so I’ll just stick to Enthusiast and not care too much about it.

I did write an image verification for one of my cliques. It was being run with acidCLIQUE and I’m now working on moving it over to a new setup. There are only about 300 members but even still, I don’t want to lose that database anytime soon. I’m reconfiguring it for mass-editing as well as image verification. I didn’t think it was as insecure as it is but apparently I was wrong. It gets more spam than PHP Fanbase ever did. So much for thinking I was doing the right thing by creating my own script for it…eh?

And yea…
In any event. I just got the shit scared out of me by one of my sisters friends who jogged up the stairs out of absolutely no where. He’s a very dark kid to begin with so wearing black clothes in an area that’s damn near pitch-black did not work out well at all. I almost shit myself until I realized who it was. I don’t like the bastard, but at least I know him by name, which is more than I can say about any of her other friends. They all have some kind of stupid nickname that makes no sense to the rest of humanity so at least he’s a step up from them, still an ignorant bastard either way though LOL.

I’m signing off for the night. I’ll poke around from time to time to see what’s going on. I’ll also be checking in on my despair, xposure and other rotations as the days go by.

Later all.

As you can probably already tell, there’s a new theme here on k.nu. I change them around once a month so this one will obviously be around until the end of July. Something about how the colors mixed well together gave me enough of an excuse to call it a summer theme. And, this is something I’m happy about. I put a quite a bit of work into it as far as coloring and everything else goes, so I’m happy with it. If you happen to run it through a style sheet, you’ll see that unlike those on the ‘net who swear their ‘elite’ I actually have valid CSS2 code to back it up. Jealous are we? I think so too.

Work related
Work has been kind of slow for the last few days. It’s mainly a wordpress theme here, validation there, nothing major. No big jobs have come in, as of yet. I’ve put in a bid for a few jobs that are in the $3k range, but who knows what will happen there. I spent today putting the final touches on this theme and plugging RSS feeds into Trillian. So now I basically don’t even have to go to websites anymore, I can just read the feed and decide whether or not I want to see the rest of the entry.

Feed me!
Someone brought Feedburner to my attention this week. They saw it on someone’s site and thought I’d be interested. I played around with it a little but no one subscribes to my feeds so it’s really not worth it. I know that Stacey does through her LiveJournal account, but that’s just about it, as far as I know. It’s no big deal though.

Dreams = Money
Mega million drawings are tonight, like every Tuesday and Friday evening. I spent $10 on tickets, nothing too extreme. The pot is up to $12mil. If I would have won on Tuesday, instead of someone in Ohio, it would have been $26mil. It got me to thinking though. At this point, living in NY with $12mil won’t get you very far. Sure, it’ll get you a decent sized house but taxes around here are beyond extreme and it’s just not worth wasting the money. So, I’m thinking about Maine. I’ve seen listings up there where you can get 8 acres of land for like $120k. On Long Island there isn’t 8 acres to spare, and if there is it’d run a couple million…at least. So in my little dream world, since I have nothing else to do. I’ve been thinking about everything I’ve always wanted when it comes to owning my own home.

A huge kitchen with lots of space, an indoor pool because in Maine the highest average for summer temperatures is like 79°, a big master bedroom, a ‘game room’ with pool table, dart board and of course…a bar. I’ve been looking around Google for pictures and what not and I’ve come across some really nice setups that I would absolutely LOVE to have, so I saved them to keep in my ‘dream’ folder in case something like this is actually a reality some day. The house itself wouldn’t have to be huge, I’m not looking for something like that. Everything I want can fit into something that’s like 2000-2500 sqft. Which may seem large, but when you break it down that the whole back end of the house is going to be a pool/jacuzzi and patio area, it really isn’t that large.

Back to reality…
I’m still waiting on Freepay to process my order for the digital camera. They said 7-10 business days so I’m sure by next Wednesday I’ll actually know what’s going on there. I’m excited either way, I can’t wait to go back to taking pictures again. Right now, since my digital doesn’t have a working flash, I’ve had to have pictures either taken outside during the day, or every light on in the room just to make sure it’s bright enough….which is very annoying so the change will be nice.

I thought my aunts trip was going to be longer than it actually is. I’ll only be at her house from Friday the 7th, to Tuesday the 11th. It’s still not too bad though, I get to relax in a nice quiet house for a few days without having to listen to all of the idiots who linger around on my block during the day. I can sit outside in the back yard and soak up the sun. I don’t have to worry about waking up to walk the dog so I can sit back and relax.

Purple isn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t pretty
I’ve been nursing a broken/sprained toe since Tuesday night. We have a block up in front of Dad’s door to keep the dog out of there. A baby gate you can call it (even though it’s just a folding chair). I went in his room on Tuesday night to turn his AC on so that when he got back from Atlantic City he wasn’t walking into a sauna. On my way out the door, I hooked my pinkie toe on the chair and I felt it pop. The chair itself then dropped on my foot in the process. Right now it’s a gorgeous shade of purple and walking is just not something I’m happy about.

When I walk the dog in the morning, I usually just slip on the mules and head down stairs. The mistake I’ve made is when you’re wearing shoes that are slip-ons, you tend to grip with your toes to keep them on. I realized this after I was waddling half way down the stairs the following morning. Bella, as usual, wanted to take off and run but I couldn’t bounce like that, so she damn near hung her self because she took off like a shot while I was still taking my time getting down stairs. Needless to say, I’ve had everyone else walking the dog just so I don’t have to deal with the pain. I’m sure my foot will heal up at some point, but right now I just wish the pain would go away.

OMG…seriously?
I’ve cut back on smoking, quite a bit. I used to go to about a pack a day (20 cigs) and now I’m down to 5. Considering how much I smoke, this is a HUGE deal. It’s my goal to completely quit by the end of July. It’s not going to be pretty but I really just don’t want to smoke anymore. Quitting cold turkey is impossible for me, I’ve tried it before. I’ve found that the method that works is cutting back one cig each day. So, by the time July 20th rolls around, I should be good on just one cig a day. Then I’ll break it down to one cig every other day, and so on and so forth until they’re completely gone. This will mean an extra $30 in my pocket every week to use on more important things. Like…I don’t know….strippers and prostitutes lol.

In any event, I’m going to head off. I’m going to have my last cig for the day, curl up in bed and watch some TV.
