I’ve been pretty silent here lately, most notably because I’m in the midst of a little bit of web stress today after some serious meltdowns on my midPhase virtual private server, or VPS as they call it in the biz. I believe that someone is spamming the hell out of the email accounts I have hosted there and it’s taking down Live Music Blog and my personal blog with it. I’m probably not receiving emails intended for me and the crew at LMB, and it’s all a shame considering I’m never well equipped to deal with a set of Eastern European tech support specialists who’s answer to every single email I send them is “I have rebooted your VPS server.” Looks like I’ll be shopping in the dedicated hosting department in the near future; time to bite the bullet, I guess.
At any rate, I’ve been trying like hell to get stuff posted here lately on a recent stream of motivation to get my publishing power back up to a level I’m comfortable with. It’s important for me to stay close to this environment with my day job as tech support for online advertisers, something I’ve actually been quite comfortable in over the past couple months. For a while after I joined the Google, I really assumed that I would be given the power to change the world with a big bow tied on top. Would you like some free lunch with that, too, Justin?
Over the past day or so, I’ve exchanged at least five emails with the tech support team and I still do not have a working index.php page on livemusicblog.com. To say I’m annoyed would be an understatement, because well — it was working the other day. And now it’s not. And the explanations I get don’t answer my questions.
Sigh.
