Incubus – Pardon Me

So I looked into the .us domain names… apparently you cannot register them for less than 2 years, so it’d be a commentment, but other than that the only restriction is you have to be a us citizen, which I am of course. So maybe tonight we’ll register krumbach.us and bevilacqua.us %D!! That’d be so cool, I might even put a little page up at krumbach.us since I am paying for it, hehe.

So have I bitched about how much I hate Network Solutions/Verisign lately? Well it’s time for it again! Here’s the background story for ppl who havent been kept up to date. Back in January or so I stumbled on princessleia.com. Now having princessleia2.com and it not being a primarily starwars site I was happy to stumble on princessleia.com and find that that too was just a woman’s personal site, I emailed her and told her so. Then i late febuary she emailed me and said “hey, I dont really want princessleia.com anymore, it expires in april, you want it?” I jumped at the chance of course, and so started the long, long battle with netsol. The process of changing the owner of a domain is a pain, you need to pay $15 for them to do it, as well as get the new owner to sign and fill out some info, and previous owner to sign and get notarized a form that is then faxed to network solutions. So I had to print the form, fill in and sign my stuff, send it to the owner in california, for her to do her stuff, and then she faxed it to netsol, in May. I paid for the domain to get renewed in april, so this could all get transfered n stuff, and I expected this to end quickly and nicely, HA! In the end of June I got a bit worried, called and they said that they were swamped with requests like this and it could take up to 6 weeks. Ok I said. I emailed them in July to MAKE SURE they got the request to transfer it to me, and yes, they had gotten it. So waiting waiting.. now over 3 months since the request has been sent in I am STILL waiting. It’s very frustrating because there are things i need to do with the domain, I want to move it away from netsol (to gandi.net, only $10 a year for registration!!!). And it’s just all around frustrating having something like this hanging. They havent even contacted us saying there was a problem!! So today I emailed them telling them that we’d cancel the whole request, and move all our domains off netsol if this isnt resolved quickly. Hopefully that’ll get them to get off their asses and figure out what the problem is. If not, I will be true to my word and give up on them %)

Ah so this morning I made a list of mp3s to send my broski in Belgium. We’re putting together an “american sampler pack” with some sierra nevada beer, hershey’s chocolate, a few state quarters, starwars episode 2 (that wonderful pirated copy, oooo), and some mp3s. It took most of the morning and I still only got 200 mb of mp3s *shrugs* I’ll have Myk add one of his mixes and some of his favorite ambient when he gets home. I also made up pretty labels for all the cdrs, hehe… so it’s been a productive day I guess, and I’m happy, ooo two mondays in a row where I am in a good mood! What is the world coming to?

Anyway, I’m gonna go screw around with my MST3K site for a while, almost have the sounds section done… trying to think of other sections to put up… links definately… hmm *shrugs* stuff… *wanders off*

Happy Birthday Leslie!

KMFDM – Full Worm Garden

That’s prolly the only time I’ll be saying “happy birthday” to someone and there is a chance they will actually read it, neat!

So last night Myk had a great idea, we could buy the .us domains for our last names (krumbach.us isn’t taken yet) … but apparently you might need a reason to register a domain like this? I thought just recently they said that anyone could get them. *Shrugs* who knows, maybe it’s like .org and you actually need a reason but it doesnt have to be a very good one %D I dunno I’ll look into it today, it would be cool to have my email addy lyz@krumbach.us .. .com or .net would be better, but they are taken already, of course.

We went to Myk’s mom’s house last night for dinner, she made a yummie shrimp and pasta dinner, and some grilled fish, it was yummie %d .. and some tastey pound cake… I tell ya, I felt sooooo fat after this weekend, heehee… beer on friday, uno’s pizza, cheesecake, and indian food on saturday, then myk’s ma’s yummie cooking on sunday… Hmmm I guess all else we did was rent some movies after meeting Bob at unos on saturday. Fun fun!

Hrm… I am working on an MST3K part of my site, it’s coming along nicely, I might actually get this done eventually.

Right, so I am gonna go wander off noew, bbl..

I got my MST3K episode yesterday %)! Ordered it tuesday and got it friday, that’s the fastest I’ve ever got *anything* I’ve ordered from anyone online, yay! So we watched it last night… and drank beer ’cause it was friday, yummie! I went to bed around midnight… got up at 3 to get sick %( that wasnt so fun… Got up this morning around noon.. *Yawn* I’m all dehydrated of course, bleh..

So we’re going to Unos this afternoon like I mentioned yesterday… Oh and I uploaded a bunch of my mst3k sounds to my site (http://www.princessleia.com/sounds/MST3K/) and I’m gonna put them in an MST3K part of my site I’m working on… hrm… I think I’ll actually complete this part of my site, unlike other parts that I say I am going to do and never finish, hehehe… Anyway, I gotta get ready to go.. *wanders*

Better Than Ezra – Desperately Wanting

i’ve played 377 games of that solitare game Pyramids in the past month, does that constitute having a problem yet?

In responce to that comment about living in Brockport. Yeah, I lived there with my Uncle and Aunt, and two cousins for about 3 months back in 2000… I had just moved out of my parent’s house, and my Uncle (saying it was because he was my Godfather and it was his duty to help me out) said I could live with them. Well I ended up not being able to find a job, and then I ran off to Seneca Falls with my online boyfriend (dumb dumb dumb). My aunt and two cousins still live there in Brockport, near the Pizza Hut, um, Clark Street, my uncle ran off with a woman he met online who lives in Las Vegas (obviously my stupidity was contagious). I liked Brockport tho, I lived in Scottsville for a while last year (after leaving that jerk i met online)… that was nice, but I think I liked Brockport more ’cause there was a really nice downtown. That card store there on Main street was cool, went there more than once, s’where I got my Ryo-ohki keychain and my Ryoko toy… might have bought a couple packs of M:TG there too, I dont remember. I do know I bought a pack of Sailor Moon cards there and got a cool foil one that I traded for lots, hehehe. Hmm there was a cool bookstore there too, and a couple coffeeshops..oh and the used cd store! That’s where I got my xfiles “Songs in the Key of X” cd. Anyway, nice town, for New York %)

Hmm, apparently we are goint to Unos tomorrow to see one of Myk’s old work friends, should be fun, if not at least I’ll be getting out of the house, that “social interaction” i’ve been needing, heh.

*wanders off again*

Eels – Cancer For The Cure

Ah friday!!! %) My day was decent yesterday after I decided to go for a walk. I ended up getting to work on R²D² summore… it’s frustrating sometimes, but it helps me keep up working with perl, I have the updated r2 (as of last night uploaded to my site as a txt file here: r2d2 v1.0.2.txt). It now responds to !time !date and !day commands… and I added a !part command that I had in the old xchat version… Heh, what’s even more frustrating is telling ppl what I’m doing… they are like “oh need help with your bot? and then I say “it’s not an mirc bot” .. “what kind of bot is it?” “irssi, with scripts written in perl” “uh… k… *backs away slowly*” geez, like these people have never heard of any irc client but mirc? Hehe… Oh well.

Wow, I have nothing to talk about. I’m walking up to the store today to get a sub from subway, heh… Myk left me some money to do that *shrugs* and the weather is nice, I might open the windows later…

Ah, so you know those people who just love to send you 24234 fwds a week with subjects like “yay jesus” “i am your friend” and “9-11, plz dont break this chain!” my aunt (the one that I lived with back in ’00 when I lived in Brockport, NY) is one of those people. She is luckily sending them all to my princessleia2.com email addy, I *have* given her my princessleia.com addy but she doesn’t seem to ever email me there *shrugs* anyway it’s very annoying %) Especially when half of them are intensive HTML, and obviously pine can’t see html.. or images, if I wanted to see the 50 billion dancing smilies in the email I’d have to move them all out of the email and view them, obviously not worth it. So anyway, the point! I saw an ad yesterday for MS Outlook that makes it “so much easier” (or possible? I never really used Outlook) to encode your email with all sorts of backgrounds, images, etc. Ugh!!! We should not give the monkeys more toys!!! I hate html emails… even to my yahoo account. Plain text for me, thx.

Moving on %) I ordered a few M:TG cards like almost 2 weeks ago and they havent gotten here yet… Just two foil commons (Plague Witch.. ’cause she was the card I used to win my first match in my first DCI Tourney). I am starting to get worried I will never get them, heh, that would suck… the guy had such a high rating too (on cardshark.com).

Anyway, I am gonna go… probably see what I can add to r2 today… *wanders*

You know what this means folks? That’s right, I havent found something better to do with my time! yay! Erm… *sigh*

I am 67% Internet Addict

I am pretty addicted, but there is hope. I think I’m just well connected to the internet and technology, but it’s really a start of a drug-like addiction. I must act now! Unplug this computer!

I’d be moreso if this quiz wasn’t aimed at 14 year olds

I am 36% Punk Rock

Well, I may know what punk is, but… Okay maybe some people think I am punk, but is that enough? Nope.

Heh.

They Might Be Giants – Lie Still, Little Bottle

I guess I’m feeling better today, even though I still feel like I am worthless and not getting anything done, w00t!

Right, so last night I was all down, had a beer (which was a mistake ’cause it made me not able to read later), and Myk went out to the store to finally get bread, and picked me up a Caramello. I ate half the Caramello and still didnt feel better! I told Myk it was just that I wasnt getting anything acomplished this week ’cause I just couldn’t focus… told me not to worry about it, heh. I just wanted yesterday to be over %( Went to bed finally around midnight, took forever to fall asleep but I slept alright *shrugs*

I really am gonna try to get some work done today tho.. which will start with ending this blog for today so i am not distracted… %)

Poe – Haunted

This is just a short entry to respond to the comments. Heh, I wish I had gone back to Maine when my cousin offered to take my up on her last trip to NH.. that was in July, and I would have gotten to see you Leslie! And I could have gone for a walk down to the park n stuff *shrugs* It’s too late now, I should stop complaining about it %)

In responce to what linux distro I use, I’m currently using Redhat 7.2 (tried 7.3, hated it). I know I know, haha @ Redhat. We are running an esmith server (based on redhat) for our gateway… and our colbalt box (that my webpage is hosted on at the NOC) is running on colbalt linux, also based on redhat… Myk just started using Debian about a month ago (would have sooner but the USB support has been pretty choppy, and he didnt wanna comprimise hardware that work in redhat), but since I am still sorta a “newbie” with linux (only been using it for 7 months) he’s being cautious about helping me switch to Debian before he knows everything about it…. And just last month I custom compiled the 2.4.18 kernal for my box… it all really runs great considering my computer is only a 450 mhz p3 (512 mb ram), I’d never consider going back to shwindows ;) my comp just runs waaaay to slow there.

Supreme Beings Of Leisure – Strangelove Addiction

I seriously need some social interaction. It’s been about a month since we’ve hung out with anyone, and that’s terribly depressing, I thought I’d have some relief from my long span of time away, but Myk isn’t interested in the PLUG talk tonight so is thinking we wont go *sigh* I don’t care what they are talking about! I want to have an intelligent conversation with people who arent on the other side of the country!!! I need some friends… I am 20 for godsakes, I can’t spend months only going out for dinner and grocery shopping from time to time, as much as I love Myk I do get bored with it. I mean I wake up in the morning, and the highlight of my day is checking email, seeing if anyone left comments here in xanga, and seeing how my neopets are doing, it’s fucking pathetic.

I guess that now I’m in this lousy mood I’ll mention that I’m still sorta rethinking this “new chat room” thing, it just is very very hard trying to fit in, especially since the male/female ratio is totally weird… its like 8:1 I’m sure… I’ve only seen another girl in there once! I wish I could find a room with lots of chicks that were smart and not all whores (on scifi half of them are stupid whores, ugh). I don’t know, maybe I’m wishing for miracles %)

I’m gonna wander off now, maybe things will pick up later, somehow, heh…

Time – Silentium

I forgot until today how difficult it was moving into a new chatroom “home” was, particularly if the room has been around for years. All I wanted was another place to hang out in from time to time, make some new friends… but it’s just very difficult to be accepted into an established group, even if I am welcomed by the room owner. This evening I was feeling sorta down, and thinking about emailing the room owner telling him that things just weren’t working out and that I was leaving. But then one of the chatters posted his geocites url in the channel. I mentioned something about http://www.dot.tk … their free page forwarding service that gives you a coolname.tk. At first they didn’t want to give me a chance, were like “ack pay!” … the only paying stuff is if you want to use it as a real domain, have full legal ownership, etc… And I was so frustrated with not being accepted I said “but this is free… *sigh* forget it, i was only trying to help”… then considered writing that email. Then one of the chatters gave me a hug, and the one who posted his domain gave the dot.tk another chance and was like “Oh cool, thanks.” … It may not seem like much, but it’s convinced me to stay %) And put me in a better mood…

Oh I changed my banner, dont know if I’ll keep it, any suggestions?
