Monday Technology Quirks - Very Frustrating!

So it's Monday. Not a holiday for me, I have to be at work. Not sure what I will accomplish. Banks are closed, no mail, half of our job sites are closed down for the holiday, yet here I sit.

I had a brainstorm to create and upload a page to the sub-domain I created last week on our home site. Not being much with raw html code, I thought I did pretty good for a simple and basic page. Even did the background color, text color, etc. Ok, next step is to ftp it to the server. No problem. I even remembered my ftp username and password!! Wow, that's an accomplishment for me, since I have so many different logins and passwords for the many sites, programs, and other access points that I use. I've been meaning to create a wallet of all my logins so that I have them. Never fails, I try to login to one of my suppliers and I can't remember my login, then have to remember which email address I used to register so they can send me my login. Ok, I digress.

I was happy to see that the page I had just coded loaded and displayed as best as I can expect, considering I didn't do anything fancy, with the exception of adding my etsy mini. Now, when I signed up with the hosting server, I was given $75 in free google adwords. I figured I might as well use them, so I proceeded to login to my account (yep, remembered the login, this time!). Lo and behold, the server is DOWN! I managed to access the support page, of course THAT isn't down. It appears that their main server had a nervous breakdown and they are "working" on getting things up and running, but no word on how long it will take. Great! I get my site online, have it referring to my etsy site, and nobody will find it because I can't setup the adwords.

I am seriously considering moving my web to another host, but not sure which one is good. I like yahoo but it can be quite costly. But I guess you get what you pay for, huh?

If anyone has any suggestion for a web host, please, let me know! I am currently on powweb. I like it, there are a lot of features that make it easy for someone who hasn't kept up with her html coding that was learned many years ago, (Can't even do CSS, XHTML, or any of the other ones, just basic HTML), but what good is it if it's always down?

Oh, and if you want to check out the new page, it's at http://rukar.karuss.com/

Happy Monday!

NOT!!!!!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday everyone! This was a bit of a busy weekend. Friday was the mistress' birthday so the master and the son and girlfriend showered her with gifts on Friday evening. Her son gave her a gift card to her favorite craft supply store, and the son's girlfriend gave her an assortment of glass and lampwork beads and other findings for making new jewelry. I don't have to tell you that my mistress was ecstatic! Of course the master bought her a new bottle of her favorite cologne - Ici. mmmmm sure smells goooooooooooood!

Saturday we spent the day doing the usual weekend things like laundry, cleaning, etc. Later in the day the mistress' mom and sister came over for pizza and birthday cake. They also gave her an assortment of jewelry making supplies and another gift card for her favorite craft supply store.

I did my usual prancing for attention, and all I heard was how FAT I had gotten since they last saw me. harumph!

Anyway, stay tuned for more great jewelry creations in the near future. My mistress was busy creating on Sunday and I'm sure by the end of the week she will have more items in her Etsy shop to choose from. I know she got some lampwork beads, and more glass beads in different colors; and her order of Swarovski crystals was delivered Friday so I know there will be some new things with those. The crystals are my personal favorite!

Just an afterthought, but I guess I could introduce my mistress and master and the son. I'll do another post and show you a picture of them. First I have to find the folder with the pictures in it. I know where the folder is with MY pictures in it, but I haven't found the folder with people pictures. I'll look for it after one of my naps. The rain keeps the birds from flying around my window, so I have nothing to watch---I might as well sleep!
psssst....sure wish I had thumbs, then I could make myself a beaded collar! hehehe
