On Monday I had the second big issue since my hosting was switched from CI Host to x7hosting.com. My site was up and working when I awoke, and I got ready and then refreshed a page on my site, and instantly got errors that the page was not working. I contact support and expect them to deal with it promptly, as this took my site, as well as anything that connects to a MySQL database out of commission.
Elapse 7 hours later, and 5 times of contacting tech support, as well as the cancellation department for the web host, and my site was finally back up. I had a similar issue happen the first week of August, and I was down for a little over 20 hours. Sadly I had just paid for this quarter and was told there was no guarantee that I would get my money back, so I am going to remain with my current host for at least the next 3 months, and then switch to a different provider at that time. Any company that says you will be company that says 24-48 hours is an acceptable time frame for these this type of error is pretty much unacceptable.
Currently I am looking at possibly going to Media Temple, as I have some friends from back in Houston who now work for them out in Los Angeles and I trust their opinions. If you have any other suggestions, please pass them along, as I have a couple of months to research at the very least.

I finally got a chance to make it to my first Nashville Roller Girls bout last night. I got to hang out with Chris Lee and also got to see Jess and Mike who are two of my friends who ref for the derby. I am still getting the hang of the new lens, but I was able to get some decent pictures.
The rest of the pictures can be seen at

Well I wake up this afternoon to find an email that I am now going home a day earlier than I was really scheduled for originally, so I get to go home on Sunday. I am kind of torn as I would have preferred to have the extra money to spend at Dragon*Con, but it will be nice to get back home. I need to get my Lostume finished and start digging all of the other costumes out of the bins in order to start packing for the con. The other thing that I am kind of peeved about is that fact that I have not had a chance to get out and take any pictures this go round yet, so I am going to have to try to make it somewhere on Friday when I have the day off. I am thinking of driving to Santa Fe to see what I can find there, but I am not 100 percent sure yet.
For any of you who have been to Albuquerque or Santa Fe, any suggestions of where to go?
