I’m having trouble with my webhost and I’m getting tired after weeks of annoying error messages. This morning I found my big 404 Ouchie! when trying to access my cgi-bin. I annoyed me to no end and I’m seriously thinking about switching webhosts (if they don’t fix it or put my account in a better server), but I’m totally afraid of the whole move.
Update: I got a response from Tech Support, and as always I ended up feeling like a little witch for being straight forward with my demands, especially when they told me they had read my blog and that they were sorry I was having problems :sad: Anyway, they are going to switch me to another server and I hope things will be fine (crossing fingers). Thank you, Tech Support!! You see, this is one of the reasons I’ve stayed with them all this time… they are good and this glitch is so uncommon that I got afraid things were going down.

I had written a long rant would’ve offended more than one proud American with my harsh remarks about their president and how I don’t believe in any of the reasons their government has given for the pre-emptive action against Iraq, after I read the “State of the Union” speech. I lost it… twice! I hit the wrong key, closed the window or went to another website and poof… gone! I won’t write it again because maybe it was little message, you know, stay calm.
I just have one little thing to say: The consequences of a war with Iraq will be devastating, not only for people in the Middle East, but for Americans as well. The U.S. is not Superman and anyone who thinks differently is completely out of their mind. Unfortunately, we all will know what these consequences are because the U.S. war machine is unstoppable, merciless and corrupt. There is nothing we can do, not even get mad just the way I got. Insults won’t make us feel better, war won’t make justice, war won’t keep America (or any other country) safe. The blindness and arrogance of some people makes me want to pull my hair out.
Questions: If the U.S. has the military intelligence, the super-spying tactics and the technology to track down the WMD Iraq supposedly has to the point of saying they can present clear proof to the UNSC, why don’t they use these things to get rid of Saddam and his horrible regime in a silent and sneaky way without killing so many people? Or why don’t they tell the inspectors where the damn weapons are to be destroyed instead of bringing the world to such madness? Disarm? Yes, disarm everyone, even themselves and stop their double-standard Nuclear weapons policies.

Oh God! I got cold hands and teary eyes reading this link I found at Brian Kane’s .
The bodies of U.S. soldiers killed by chemical or biological weapons in Iraq (or future wars, God save us all!) may be bulldozed into mass graves and burned to save the lives of surviving troops, under an option considered by the Pentagon.
Apocalyptic images come to my mind and I wonder what Americans who have family members in the armed forces feel when thinking at the possibility of their loved ones being bulldozed and burned after being killed with the horrid weapons their own country has in stock too. God gracious! But no… let’s go to war, people! War is good, war will make justice, war will make us feel good, war will save who the heck, war is what we want, yeah! Those bulldozed and burned soldiers will be “just” war casualties. How does that sound? I’m nauseated.

I know there is a big hacker complot going on in the internet and that many servers are suffering the Denial of Service attack, but I’m having trouble with my site since the beginning of the year. It has become slow, the “Page Not Available” messages are getting annoying and today I’m fed up with the 500 Internal Server Errors :angry: I mean, not everyone is having this trouble, right? Somehow I have the feeling that my site is hosted in one of the icky servers at PHP Webhosting and I’m now deciding if a move would be a good thing. Until this mess if fixed, you might get frustrated when posting a comment.

The Yo-Yo linkers. How do you understand them? Let me tell you what they are. They move you from the “Daily Reads” category to the “Often Reads” category and then to the “Extra page” in a blink of an eye. Somedays you’re their favorite, some other days you are not. How to understand the behaviour without getting nuts? It remains a mystery.
I can understand the different categories by location, pings, type of blog content, etc…, but I simply don’t get the “Important” and “Less Important” ones; especially when you jump from one to another so often you start feeling dizzy. I guess it’s not the category listing itself, but the fact that my name is “daily loved” some days and “just one of the rest” some other days… ha ha ha! I ask myself: “What did I do this time?”.
Oh yes! I know it’s not about links, it’s not about popularity. But it makes ME wonder. I’m that paranoic. Am I getting too boring? Am I getting too interesting? What moves them to change priorities like changing socks? I have one and only one list of reads (I don’t even put my close friends in a separated list which I could with the multiple Blogrolls), the links are randomly displayed so I can say to people “You all are interesting to me”. Yes, I do care about stuff like that; am I a freak? Maybe… Oh! The Yo-Yo linkers. Quite funny, let me tell you.
This entry could easily fit into the “Stupidities by Bea” category and maybe it is a result of my PMS-ing, even if I’m having a really good hair day. If only the logistics manager stopped doing so much noise with those darn paper boxes!! Ok, now you get it. I’m over-sensitive today. FREAK!
