Internal Workings

// September 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // Blog

I’ve finally moved on to some new internal workings of my linux computer. I should really say LAMP computer. I’m setting up databases for some test projects that got taken down when Paul moved all his servers out of the corruption filled datacenter.

He doesn’t appear to be in much of a hurry to get them back up but, I have client’s sites on it and I need to find out in what condition they’re in. I guess I’ll have to drive there in person to find out since he hasn’t bothered to look. I know he’s not much in the spirit of doing it after what happened but, MY startup was on there too.

Anyway, I’ve got more than enough to do and am getting stressed myself with the pressure that has mounted as a result of the attack/hack/destruction of data.

Emotional Week Past

// September 28th, 2008 // No Comments » // Blog

Most of last week had a very taut, higt emotional feel to it. I felt like bursting out in tears a couple of times, just because of the tossey turvey way things were going. There seemed to be days of indecision and indeterminacy. There seemed to be moments when I wasn’t sure if I was stepping off a cliff or a curb. I’m exhausted.

My friend Paul has probably been much the same. He got sick and has been talking about taking a vacation. I told him he needs to go to the day spa for a sauna, massage and whatever other treatments they give. He needs it. Last week we had a huge crisis that is still unresolved.

I have a meeting with the dept. head on Monday about last spring’s student evaluations of me. I haven’t bothered to look at them. I had one student that caused me some trouble which I already have discussed with the dept. head.

I was feeling under some pressure in the spring to not be homeless any longer when Paul started planning to move to Miami. I’m now paying twice what I was last paying for rent. If I was not working with a one yr. fulltime contract I would be homeless (maybe). I went homeless for over a year trying to pay off some bills and save a few dollars. I managed, with Paul’s help but, now I’m on my own and working double duty to stay afloat.

Long Bloody Day

// September 23rd, 2008 // No Comments » // Blog

I’m still seeking sponsors for my pre- Art Basel Miami Beach Pool Party (beverage, food, art galleries, museums) and artists to display work.

Okay, time for a shower; I still have dried blood in my hair from when I gashed my head at 8:30 am today. LONG busy day, I must say!

It doesn’t look bad but, it’s about an inch and half long. It was huge gush of blood when it happened. I’m surprised I didn’t get any on my clean white dress shirt.
