Well, it’s me again… still with no FTP access, but I will follow Jish’s advice: “Patience!!! it takes a little time” (he’s really a big optmist and cool person). BTW, good luck! (he knows what I’m talking about).
Ok, time to bed… because I also got an order from my advicer: “Rest!” (after I said I was down with the flu) he he!
I decided to get a little bitchy (not that I like that too much, but when you’re paying…) and sent an e-mail asking why my FTP was not setup yet. Got a reply… by phone: “Ok, everything’s working now”; then, I connected… voila! then I tried to upload files and what did I get? An annoying 550 Error because I have no permission to manage files set up yet… grrrr!!! Now it is 6:12 p.m. and I hope they will reply my last message so I can get some files up tonight.
Do I sound like a psycho? My friend told me: “No, you just sound like a pissed off with all reason customer” and then she made sense: “What’s the point in having FTP access if you can’t do shit with your files?”. I wonder the same thing…
Note: All this does not mean that the host is bad… I’m a new customer who never owned a domain before and I really don’t know how these things work; but sure it helps to vent!
First I was disappointed… then I was really upset… but now I’m so pissed off!! I don’t like it when someone promises to do something in a determined time (10 minutes in my case) and then keeps you waiting for more than 24 hours. When I decided to buy a domain I did it because it was a paid service and I thought that service was going to be good and fast; and the problem is that I’m shy to call to ask again: “When are my FTP settings going to be ready so I can upload my site?”. I’m sure my webhost is good, but I just would like them to get my site ready and running!
I’ve been reading and learning about what a geek is … and I even made the Geek Quiz, but I don’t think I’m one… it said something like “Your GQ is below average – you must be cool as a cucumber!” (what does that mean? LOL). Anyways, I found these Geeks! cartoons by Julie Sigwart and they are so funny! Worth to get a look at.

I’ve been blogging for 2.5-3 years. I own 2 or more domains that are updated regularly. I manage my blog with Greymatter, Movable Type, or other management system running on my own web host. I link only to sites I like to read (and sites that I have time to read) on a regular basis. I usually check my stats about once a day but I don’t keep any records or running tallies. I link to the standard A-list blogs (Megnut, Kottke, Robot Wisdom, etc.), because I enjoy reading their sites regularly. I post at least once a day. I can’t remember the last day I haven’t blogged. I blog from either home or work, but only after my work is done and when I get some free time. My entries are a mix of some original material, some web links, and links and comments about other blogs. Some people like to get it on with other bloggers, but for me, the last thing I need is to get sexually involved with one of these neurotic blogging pinheads. I have posted at least a photo of my face on my blog, but not much more. I’ve taken a few surveys or participated in a few memes, but there seem to be so many of them I have to pick and choose. Nearly all of my offline friends, family members, and co-workers know about my blog, and that’s fine.
