Many readers here know that I've been hosting my blog on a server in our house. That worked for a long time when I didn't have any visitors except a few friends and family members. I've been debating publicizing some of my other web projects since I know our little server wouldn't take kindly to the load. I also have a couple of things brewing in my mind, but didn't want to pay the money for a DNS service to point the URLs to this server. Well, yesterday I took the plunge and finally got an external web host. I'm still keeping this blog and anything on ladonnasworld at home, but other things are in the works on the host. The good news is I can finally had out my business cards again because that email address will be live again. I'm not going to talk about what's up my sleeve yet, but soon...very soon!

I saw this quiz on somebody's site a few mintues ago while I was surfing around. Like I said, confirms what I already know. I know I need to get some professional help. I just wish I could afford it.

Who hasn't seen the viral video that was all over the Internet a while back where Gary Brolsma lip-synced to O-Zone's "Dragostea Din Tei"? Well, if you haven't, crawl out from under your rock! Anyway, Marcus and I were curious as to how many times that video was now on YouTube and we came across something kind of funny. Since the original is sung in Romanian, it's easy to see how what is being sung can easily be misunderstood. Check out this person's funny take on that:

I can't find what is wrong! I've opened up a test page, stripped out everything but the nav menu, the header, the posts and the footer and IT IS STILL SLOW TO LOAD! WTF??!!!

There are no javascripts, nothing from the outside, no dynamic headers, no CSS.

Obviously I've mistakenly changed some preference in my admin panel, but what? This is going to take a lot longer to fix than I thought. Hmph.

OK, found another one that's interesting. This is the last one of these for a bit. I don't want to make this place all quizzes, all the time. I thought some of the statements in this one were eerily accurate. Especially the taking a step back from the world, that my creativity keeps me from getting things done (I have so many ideas and thoughts that I just can't seem to focus) and the brilliant but not finding my niche. It's all so true it is a little freaky.
