Inexperienced Me

July 22nd, 2008 at 01:48 AM in Internet Related, School

I’ve actually bought a domain and hosting lately. But not for me, for my club. I’m the webmaster for the club, or clubs. Interact and Octagon.

However, the host seems to be experiencing some problems from time to time. The day after I bought the hosting, the server had apparently been killed, and my account had been deleted. I clicked up the Live Support and told the support person. He fixed it up quickly and nicely, sending me a few smiley emoticons and apologized for the troubles. I was at ease.

But once in a while, the host seems to have a site-wide PHP problem where all I get is an internal server error for ever PHP page when I try to access the site and the error_log says some strange things like:


[22-Jul-2008 08:15:59] PHP Warning: Module 'eAccelerator' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
[22-Jul-2008 08:15:59] PHP Warning: Module 'suhosin' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
[22-Jul-2008 08:15:59] PHP Warning: Module 'ionCube Loader' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

And I feel like I should just switch hosting. But I’m leaving for Taiwan soon and have homework, so I can’t deal with another host change. Plus, it seems that these problems only started after the “server death” (as I had checked up with the site before signing up) and the support dude (who seems to be also the one on the forums whose post I found the link of) was so nice and helpful. And the dude who was on the forums whose post I found the link of slash support dude, he seems like an intelligent person. Not like that “Jamie Timbre” that had been exposed as a scammer by Jem.

I’m really just thinking optimistically.

Plus, I used a limited-use coupon. So the deal was really cheap.

Daleks Speaking German

July 11th, 2008 at 10:15 PM in School, Small Things

Other than the Dalek Deutsch, my life is fine.

(skip the next two paragraphs if you do not wish to read boring text)

I feel like I’ve watched too many movies lately. Health & Safety class has shown Lilo & Stitch, Stand by Me, and Outbreak. Philosophy has shown The Matrix, Little Buddha, and Crash, and I’ve been cruisin’ Hulu’s movies. Earlier on in the summer, I watched The Incredible Hulk. Recently, WALL-E. And I watched Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang on the telly.

Since I’ve been volunteering at the library, I’ve had more chances to borrow and return movies, too. I’ve seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Hello, Dolly!, and Rushmore.

(stop skipping now)

With summer school, and summer classes, I’ve noticed that I haven’t even started on my regular school summer homework. AP World History and Honors English will kill me. Unfortunately enough, I’ve not much time in August to do it because my family is going to Taiwan, probably.

I must admit, I’m looking forward to the airplane part a lot. I’ve always loved the airplane ride there. Especially if they have those personal telescreens for each passenger. I liked the food, and every time I fly, I ask the flight attendants for playing cards. Now I have a collection.

Though, last time I flew, it was on EVA and they had no telescreens. It was boring, and though I’m not very susceptible to motion sickness (I can wooden ride roller coasters after eating) I felt very air-sick after about the end half of the flight. I’ve never been air sick before, so this took me by surprise. But maybe it wasn’t air sickness, because I didn’t feel so bad on the ride home, and I felt nauseous throughout the whole trip on Taiwan. Terrible.

I’m buying air-sickness pills just in case.

Scrapbooking

June 1st, 2008 at 12:06 AM in School

I’m not a sentimental person, so I’m terrible when it comes to scrapbooking.

In my English class, we’ve read The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros.  And a project that we do is a scrapbook containing stories (the vignettes) of our life and pictures of it.  It can be as artistic as we’d like, but it needs six stories minimum and ten pictures (drawn, photos, or any kind of visual representations), at least.

Too bad I’m an emotionless dummy when it comes to this.

I’ll try my best, it’s due on Tuesday.
