Yee-haw, another hosting change. Thanks to upgraded technology, this one went faster – and should result in the site going faster, too, hopefully.
There have been some significant changes in my work situation and my health that are forcing me to take another look at all of the above. The rheumatologist prescribed a med that did awesome things for my pain. Unfortunately for me, it also damaged other aspects of my body, enough so that now I am not allowed to take any kind of NSAID. Which means inflammation is dancing a jig in my joints. Not good.
Things at work are… changing. I still love my job, don’t get me wrong, but between corporate edicts and my health issues, I know my time there is winding down. There was a time at which the thought terrified me. I’m becoming progressively more calm at the prospect. I need to have my safety net in place before it comes to that, though, so I’m trying to find a solution that will work for me. I can’t make a living at ebooks, no matter how much I’d love it if I could. It’s a long, painful process for me to write a book. I still intend to write, because I can’t NOT write. I just don’t count on it as my primary source of income in the immediate future.
I can create websites and book graphics, however. I created and opened a new website at http://customcoverpro.com and have some on-demand covers there. Any one of those can be turned around in almost no time. (We won’t talk about how long it took me to get them all done to that point.)
If you or someone you know writes books, have ’em at least talk to me. The samples on my page aren’t all wonderful, but some of them are pretty darned good and I am capable of doing things that are much more sophisticated.
Meanwhile, I also moved my pages around last night. As abysmal as my updating has been lately, my blog has shown buttloads of traffic to it. Not sure what that’s about, and assuming 99% of it is bots. Whatever it was, it was crashing my server routinely, including a site I use heavily for work. I had a couple of options to upload. I elected the cheaper one and think for what I wanted it to do, it was the absolute correct answer. It’s the one perk about being a tech. I know what will work where and how much it’s gonna cost me.
Oh well, it’s that time of the morning again. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go.
And the icemaker stopped working in the fridge. I have a feeling it’s related to the filter, which is probably a solid block of calcium by now. (Our water here is some of the hardest in the world, if not THE hardest.) Which sucketh bigtime.
