History Bites

July 5, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever seen the show History Bites? It’s on the Comedy Channel. It might only be shown in Canada since it’s a Canadian production, but if you find history interesting and if you like comedy this show is an interesting mix of both.

Comedians act out some of the great events in history, acting like real people historically famous and otherwise as they show us how the events happen … however they throw in modern touches like TV commentators such as Larry King, a Martha Stewart like section that fits the period and sometimes the historic figures resemble current famous people like Ozzy Osbourne and others.

It’s not the best show in the world, but it’s also not the worst. Check it out sometime if you get a chance.

CPU resources over used – trying to fix my sites!

July 4, 2007 by Tricia

Sorry for the lack of new posts lately. I’ve had a major problem with my web host. I got a message last Thursday evening from them stating that my sites were using too much of their CPU resources so they had moved all my sites and domains over to a slower non production server in order to give me time to fix the problem.

Well, I’ve upgraded all the WP blogs to the latest WordPress version and I have one of my websites running on Joomla so I upgraded that to the latest stable version too. That kept me busy for at least two whole days!

The rest of the time was spent going over just about every file in my directories to make sure that no new files or folders were added to my server that could be causing a problem. I got hacked once when I was with another web host and that caused a ton of problems.

I really can’t find a problem so I don’t know what’s going on. I’m still getting messages from my web host saying that the CPU resources are still high so I might have to move to a Virtual private server.

I don’t want to do that because 1. it’s more expensive, and 2. I’ll have to learn a whole new hosting system. I can barely keep up with my sites these days … I don’t want to learn a new hosting system!

Anyway … if you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been around you now know what’s been going on.

If any of you have had similar problems I’d love to hear how you solved them.

Use FriendshipFinder to meet friends and singles

June 28, 2007 by Tricia

If you’re interesting in meeting new people, talking to others online and perhaps meeting in real life you might be interested in visiting FriendFinder. It’s always great when you can meet new people from the comfort of your own home isn’t it?

FriendshipFinder looks like it would be a great site to meet people in your area. Whether you are looking to date or just make friends.

Just for the heck of it I signed up and did a search for women in Ontario. Obviously I’m not looking to date! I just wanted to see how many other women in my area were looking for friendship and I was able to find a few from my general area of the province.

You can do a basic search on FriendshipFinder without signing up, but if you want to contact any of the members that come up in your searches you’ll have to sign up to send them a message or to chat with them using the FriendshipFinder chat system.

Considering that I’m stuck at home due to my illness I can’t get out as much with my friends and I’m not often in situations these days where I can make new friends so I can see how joining FriendshipFinder might be nice in that I’ll have a few more people to talk with if I do make any friendship connections.

One nice thing about a site such as this is that it allows you to get to know someone first before you perhaps take a chance and meet them in person.

Members make profiles, and can put up photos of themselves so you can get an idea of what they look like and what their interests are before you contact them. Then, as I said earlier, you can chat with them online as much as you want before making plans to possibly meet in person.

I’m sure that by the time you actually meet the person you’ll feel like you already know them if you’ve talked to them a few times online. I know when I’ve made friends with people on the internet in the past and eventually met them it always already felt like I knew them.

Cheese Please!

June 27, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

gruyere

Did someone say cheese?

Hmmm if that’s a real photo that chunk of cheese must be huge!

Can you imagine being a mouse or rat that discovered this piece of cheese? It’d be like heaven. I bet it’d be trying to drag it to it’s lair or break off pieces to bring to it’s nest, ’cause if it tried to eat it all in one sitting I’m pretty sure the poor thing would explode!
