(no subject)

Apparently, the universe has conspired to deliver me an unwanted
birthday present. I tried to go to my webmail this morning, and got a
splash page (not even liquidesign's home page) saying my domain had
expired as of today. It was there earlier this morning; I saw my
newly-uploaded pics over Chris's shoulder. I was just thinking they
might have been cached on his PC--and they still might--but I did the
upload from here at work, not his laptop, and I don't think anyone at
home got online after I'd done it last night.

Even more fun

After spending all morning installing and running Ad-Aware, emailing Dana to find out that no, my domain doesn't expire until November (I hadn't thought it was even close!), etc, etc, I find that the problem
with www.ambercastle.net seems to be localized to this LAN. jilly_bear sees the same interloping page that I do. Chris suggested that the company might have blocked the domain and then this
thing is coming up in the place of the "blocked site" error. It seems as likely as anything else, although I can't see why the domain would be blocked. There's nothing offensive there!

On the other hand, gratuitous plug for dissolvedgrrl's webhosting service: I can't imagine getting better personal assistance and immediate response when I had an apparent problem. Thank you Dana!

On a happier note...

Last night, C&T&Rosa gave me my family birthday party. I got lots of
clothes (YAY, because I've been running short of things that fit), and
they insisted on a fashion show. Miss Rosa was my fashion consultant,
wardrobe assistant, and color commentator. It was hilarious. "Now she's
wearing a brown shirt and a brown poncho and green shirt I mean pants."
