Can you hear me now?

Don't tell me I can actually post on here from my new blackberry! I'm not quick enough with the key board to do much damage, but this could funky...

In the meantime, I'll probably have to commit an illegal act (or more likely resort to a life of illegal activities) but dammit I will own a pool. That doubles as a floor.

All you have to do is configure the name server...

So I told you (and I mean you, as in the one person reading...) that I was working on learning to set up a real website. Well, I thought I had everything figured out and have been waiting to upload WordPress to my new home for the past couple of days. Only it wasn't working. The website that is hosting my website was giving me some horrible error message. One I didn't understand but was hoping someone with superior interwebbing knowledge would magically fix for me while I slept.

After three days of waiting I came to the conclusion I have no superior knowledge holding geek in shining armor watching over me. And I set about the horrid depths of www.people-who-know-too-much-about-interwebbing.com/forums. Because certainly someone has had this same exact problem before.

So I looked up - "how do I get this nasty error message to leave me and my new website alone so we can play nicely together?"

And this is what I found in return:

"You have to complete the DNS update on your domain website so your hosting website will recognize your website."

Well, I didn't understand a damn word of that. So after pleading with the forum for something written in a language somewhat resembling English, I was able to find this:

"All you have to do is go to your domain website and configure the name server. Then in 48-72 hours you should be good to go."

Wow, really?! That's ALL I have to do? Configure the name server on my domain website? Well duh, huh? Oh you silly interweb, how you've gotten the best of me this time...

Wait, 48-72 hours??? What the hell takes 48-72 hours on the interweb? Does someone have to walk my name server configuration from my domain website (probably in Russia) to my hosting website (probably somewhere high in the Himalayas)???

I just realized that everywhere in the Himalayas is probably high. And everyone for that matter... Now get walking so I can play with my damn website!

5 dollar foot... up your ass...

Am I the only one who wants to stick something metal and sharp into my forehead when one of these stupid Subway commercials comes on? And now they have regular people on the street trying to sing the stupid thing??? My god... it's the worst possible combination... a stupid fuckin' commercial combined with karaoke.

The worst part is, I used to like Subway. Now I'm thinking the only solution is holy war.

Speaking of stabbing myself in the forehead... I've been trying to teach myself how to create a website. Not a blog type website, a real website. With WordPress. And hosts and domains. And subdomains. And php. And MySQL... whatever the fuck that even means. I'm beginning to think I'd have better luck bring peace to the Middle East.

See how I started off with stabbing myself in the forehead, threw in some holy war, and then did it all over again in the very next paragraph? This is what you've been missing over the past few months. It's geniusness of the written word.

All this stabbing myself in the forehead business has given me a headache. Thank you interweb...
