Long story short I broke the damn thing.

The long story's better because it involves a Cow, a Pink Floyd Concert, and a Mouse Called Gerald.

Anyway, I'm working on the site furiously but it won't be up and running until Monday.

At the same time I will be uploading to my new host.

Point your browser to this address instead:

I have a temp page up until I get more.

Sounds like the long story is pretty interesting! Will check out your temp. site. Let me know when you're back up and running.

Not really. I love Pink Floyd.

Atom Heart Mother has a cow on the cover of the album, Pulse is an amazing Pink Floyd Concert, and one of the lyrics to Bike goes:

I've got a mouse
Who hasn't got a house
He's getting rather old
I don't know why I call him Gerald
But he's a good mouse


I wasn't listening to Pink Floyd when I broke the site but I love Pink Floyd.

I needed some hard drive space in order to copy some files I needed but but my iPod died and so I couldn't copy the files to that like I normally would (incidentally my iPod has my entire Pink Floyd collection on it amoung others and thus included Atom Heart Mother and Bike - but that's neither here nor there).

Anyway, the iPod also had iWeb which is the app that I use to create my site. As I no longer had access to the apps I decided to kill the data files which would free up enough space to get the files onto my iBook.

It wasn't until deleting these files that I realised the backup was on my iPod which is broken and which contains my Pink Floyd collection - but that's neither here nor there (my music is backed up on another drive though - including my Pink Floyd collection but that's neither here nor there).

So with my site gone I had to try and get the files from my current site only somewhere along the lines I kind of messed up a couple of files and broke things. But I do have the backup of the current site and so I have to rebuild the site from them.

Needless to say I think I will have to listen to copious amounts of Pink Floyd to put me in a good mood for rebuilding the site. There's something like 50 posts I have to rewrite. Jooooy.

BTW, there's not much on the new site because I only put on a warning label to get things up and running. I'm thinking of creating a new look from one of the other templates.

bummer. Loved your site, seems like it will be a lot of work to redo. Get something up soon, even if it's not as complex as your last site. Must have my daily fix :O)

My biggest issue is that I don;t have Internet access at home but hopefully that will be sorted in the next week or so.

That's why I said Monday because I can work on the site at home and upload it when I get to work.

I would be typing it out today but my iBook is doing a render which is going to take 12hrs (I have to get me a MacBook Pro).

Good news is that come Monday there will be more posts and a new layout.

Unfortunately until then I suggest lots and lots of coffee. It won't help you get through til Monday but it would be funny to see what you're like then. ;-)

Fixed it now.

It only took about 3 1/2hrs so not too bad.

I'm so glad!
