I don’t know if it’s due to the fact that I’m back in New York, or if it’s because I have the drive to make enough money to move back up here - but - I’ve had no trouble finding inspiration for new templates.  Maybe it’s the change of scenery, I don’t know.  I just know that I’ve spent the last 12 hours or so working on the new template for AGn Solutions, this way when everything is up and running I can work in the new billing/support software and go from there.

I really can’t wait to get everything transferred over.  I have to say that this eCheck business is bugging the crap out of me, but that was my own fault - I didn’t click the right button and now I’m going to have to figure out how to go about fixing it in the future.  I can’t change it now because the initial payment hasn’t cleared yet but come Monday morning I’ll be jumping for joy as I’m creating all of the back-ups and getting all of the DNS transferred over to the new company.

I’m changing things up a bit, and I’m bringing back Reseller accounts because off the increase in room.  I’m offering up enough resources where I can really do some serious business so hopefully my advertising efforts pay off.

While I’ve been in New York I’ve been searching around numerous Job Search websites and I’ve submitted my application to a couple of businesses here on the Island.  The ‘dream job’ might not actually come through but I can understand why the company wouldn’t want to shell out $70,000 a year on someone with no college degree.  Either way I’ll wait until I hear something from anyone before I get too excited.  I just really would love to be back up here and that’s something that a one-week stay has proven to me.

I miss New York.  I miss the congestion, and the rude people.  I miss the fantastic food and the fact that I know more people in town than I ever thought I did while I was up here.  Sure, you don’t think about it when you were up here for 20 years but if you just go through the supermarket and you’re stopped by old friends and family that you haven’t seen in a long time - it really takes it toll on you.  You realize just how much you’ve missed over the years.

Sure, Delaware is great.  I love Sean, I love the complex we’re living in but it doesn’t feel like “home” to me - not the way that New York does.  Even Sean seems to have more inspiration up here, on top of the concentration he’s been able to find.  Unfortunately he’s under the weather - so he really hasn’t done very much in the past 24 hours (work wise) but it’s easy to lose that new found concentration when you’re heavily congested and it hurts to swallow.

I think he has an ear infection, he claims it’s just his throat, but somethings telling me that it’s a little stronger than that.  I’d like to get him to the hospital but with the way New York works, you’re better off losing your ear before you want to sit in a damn E.R.. See, in Delaware when I went for my nasty abscess I was shot with all kinds of pain killers and loaded up with antibiotics.  It only cost me $125 - and yes that cost is with ZERO medical insurance.  Up here in New York? The same treatment would run about $1,200 for someone with no insurance.  Who the hell has that kind of money?  Thankfully the last time I got really sick up here (my first ever ear infection that went down my ear canal and took over the left side of my neck) I was still under my father’s Medical Insurance from the same hospital (he works there) so since hospital employees tend to get first priority (as do their children) it didn’t cost me a dime - I was fully covered. We did get the bill though, if we had to pay out of picket it would have been about $2500.

So yea, we’re obviously not going to go up here, but maybe I’ll be able to rummage through the cabinets and pick up something for him.  I want to get some ear-drops from the store but my usual 24-hour hotspot up here is no longer 24-hours.  Oh well…I’m sure I’ll figure something out.

In any event, it’s knocking on 3am - guess I should get to bed.

If you can read this then you’re looking at krissyville.net being loaded from a new data center.  I was sick and tired of the previous service, it was always down and over the course of the last few months I’ve had some pretty heated arguments with Tony so that’s put a damper on business through the company.  I’ve found a new host that comes highly regarded and I’m in the process of getting everything moved over.  For the sake of DNS I had to transfer over all of my personal stuff first, and then I’ll go and work on the clients.  I’m unable to find any files for krissy.nu which is why that site is currently down.  I do have a back-up and I’m manually restoring it.  I believe my hefty Wordpress database had a lot to do with it.  While I only publish two years worth of archives, there’s about 5 years worth and it covers about 1,000MB, so I’m downsizing quite a bit and we’ll see where things go from there.

I’ve got a horrible cold, to the point that I can’t really concentrate on much of anything.  It started out as a sore throat which came on instantly but only half of my throat was scratchy, I wound up falling asleep and by the time I’d woken up my entire throat was sore.  The following day it turned into some pretty nasty chest congestion and now I’m dealing with the nasal end of things and I’ve just taken a strong dose of antibiotics because I honestly can’t focus on anything.  I feel as though my head is going to explode which typically means the infection is heading north.  I also have a pretty high fever, I think it was 103.something.  At the same time, I have double vision so who knows what number actually showed up on that little digital output.

I think it’s time to get back to bed.
