Taking The Risk

Kya hasn’t moved everything over to the new server yet, but I’ve still decided to take the risk of… dun dun dun… posting a blog! (And allowing comments!) It’s okay; due to my paranoia I am also sending myself a backup of my databases every hour, so I restore it if it happens to be lost along the way on the new server. Yes, paranoia to the max.
I’ve decided not to worry too much about the server change. It’s too exciting to worry about… and we gotta take risks in life! *eats some cake*
However, the new layout is still going as planned. It’s not quite done yet but I still plan on putting it up when the server has completely moved. That way you’ll know everything went well!
So do please, keep an eye out.
I promise I’ll get to all the comments as soon as I can. I’ve just been stacked with work.
Yesterday I had walked partially in the rain (yes, it’s finally raining!) from the university library with a small stack of books. I had decided, for the first time, to borrow books from the library. I’m so out of the loop I didn’t even know they had a self service borrowing thing. I could just scan my books myself and hop out. Apparently though, the library is moving to a partially underground new building by next year. Well, that will be interesting.
I am glad I borrowed those books though, because they’re really helping me with my assignments. Instead of being distracted after looking at online copies of books – I got the real thing – and it’s making me a little more motivated. I’ve done about half of an assignment where I have to write commentaries on usability/accessibility/browser compatibility (after those reviews and using my background knowledge, I’m going to do well!) and create a website to display them on. This is so fun.
They were giving out free pancakes at uni yesterday morning. That was so cool.
I still haven’t received my ballet exam certificate from last year.
I’ve been calling up but getting no answer except for the answering machine. I just want to get my certificate so I don’t have to worry about this anymore! I left a message but I haven’t received a call back.
The other day I was looking through some old files, and I found a list of domain names I had in mind before thinking about Heartdrops. I wanted to share them. Feel free to use any of these names but I ask that you credit me and don’t claim that you thought of the name if you grab it from this list!
- out-the-window.net (my old site name was Out The Window)
- your-threnody.net
- crimson-threnody.net
- paperwings.net
- fallfromgrace.net
- mayepilogue.org
- emptyrevelation.org
- butterflycomet.net
- do-re-mi.org
- pastfailings.net
- brokensoliloquy.net
- ask-me-tomorrow.org
- this-is-all.org
Did you have any funny site names lists, or do you remember having site names in mind that you’re glad you didn’t use?

this is getting silly
But it’s funny looking back on the old ideas I had!
*hugz* am sure the server change will be fine! 
-what a mean state of mind- 

At the moment they’re rebuilding parts of our university with fancy stuff… I hope it’s just as cool.
But sometimes, I am afraid to take risks. Gah. I suck.
What the hell is wrong with them?
lol
But out of that list, Fall From Grace (that’s in an MCR song somewhere, I’m sure of it), Paper Wings and This Is All are my favourites.

PLUM!
Ugh I don’t want to call her again; it sounds pushy because I’ve called so many times and it’s like she’s ignoring me… well she could be. Apparently the phone number changed too, so maybe she’s in the middle of moving house?
The pancakes were a little shitty and kind of small.
It was the first time for me borrowing books! Some have double copies… I think us communication students are notorious for never using books. No one seems to borrow them!
