Of the random
Jul. 9th, 2009 10:34 amHeads up - I'm gonna bite the bullet and rename my LJ this weekend. (Kip, that's why I haven't posted yet about the thing we were discussing; I don't want to confuse people by starting out with one name and switching mid-conversation to another! But I'm on board and will post soon.)
*
I have actually been watching Torchwood. I am not a fan: they lost me with episode one (Rape is not funny. Ever). But they filmed part of the current series a stone's throw from my house...so I had to watch, just to see.
The bastards CGI-ed in some trees or you'd be able to see my bedroom window! No one cares but me, I'm sure, but still.
*
My website is down - creative-imperative.net. Or at least, it's down for me. It's the only one of my sites still with that particular web host; and it's been three days with no response to my attempts to contact tech support. They're notorious for this. And now I can't even log in to the support site...I'm wondering if the company finally folded, but Google yields no information. So far.
The same thing happened a few years ago when I had the Stargate Fan Awards site hosted there but that righted itself eventually and by then I'd moved the site in question. This time...well, the Creative Imperative site was screwy anyhow because they upgraded something and it broke my galleries. I hadn't found time to put everything right. Wasn't bothered as long as my fic archive still worked.
The good part: I have the domain registered via an independent company so if I have to dump the site, I can. It's only still there because I'm lazy. The bad: if I do that, I think I've lost a lot of my archived fic. The HTLJ, Buffy/Angel, Sentinel and most of my SPN fic is safe in AO3 and the SPN fics I don't have archived there are on LJ. But my Stargate and Highlander stories will be gone. Some of the SG fic is probably still at Area52 and I have some on my hard drive, I'm certain, but probably not all of them. My Highlander fic was never archived anywhere else. And it'll take me forever to rebuild the site properly. If I have to.

I was sick with a migraine on Tuesday; this means I now have to go caffeine-free for at least a week. As a pain-management strategy it works - I get far fewer headaches and when it's bad enough to make me spend a day in bed it doesn't last more than that day. In the past I was losing two or three days at a time, every month.
But the downside of cutting out the caffeine is obvious - I can't. stay. awake. Fell asleep on a two-minute bus journey yesterday and ended up in the city centre when I meant to get off at Tesco! This is why I can't cut out the caffeine entirely...well, that and my Cafe Nero addiction.

Crossposting from Dreamwidth is a PITA from work. It's likely not DW's fault but the ancient browser I'm forced to use here doesn't display the update page properly. So I can't tag or set a mood...can't change the icon half the time. PITA!
