Not a diary, but a diary of errors

I was told today in a forum, quite rightly, that a diary online should be interesting and full of anecdotes.  Perhaps about my dogs, or the British way of life. Perhaps they are right, but this is written not for anyone else to read precisely, but more for me to exorcise my demons. I mean, I look around my room, cluttered and totally unorganised, and realise THAT is who I am in my mind.  Totally disjointed and not all in the right place.  At work, with-it and quite clever, in an unassuming way, but at home completely doolally and not all there. Can we really be two people at once?  I think far more of us are than are not.  We all LIKE to think we are clever, attractive, liked, professional... or whatever the going thing is for today.... but in reality most of us are just muddling through from day to day hoping it turns out okay in the end. There was a time when I had it all worked out.  A plan.  A life map.  Well, that didn't quite go as planned I thought the other day

It's not all bad is it?

So recently has been a bit of a disaster. As most of my friends know, my server was completely hacked by .ru whilst I was ill in bed, and they destroyed all my sites.  That was bad enough but the thing that gutted me the most was the destruction of a memorial site I had tried to set up for my deceased brother.  That, above all, crushed me. I did think about just giving up, but it is not in my nature.  The more people try to stop me doing something the more determined I am to do it.  So the past few days have been spent trying to rebuild.  I am nowhere near done yet but it does look like a proper site again.... sort of A friend had her website on the same server and they half wiped that also, so I took the opportunity and bought her a domain and created her a whole new website on a different server.  Hopefully she will now be safe :-) The hosts, Stablehost, who have been pretty much a nightmare since I went there, just kept telling me it was not THEIR fault the server was insecu

SSL Domains on Pixels.com

If a premium member on pixels.com, you have the opportunity to use your own domain pointing to your shop However, if you just point it then you will not see a lock and you may get a warning that the site is not secure. Here is a workaround. To create a secure site on our own domain when pointing to a premium site using custom domains First of all create a new free account on https://cloudflare.com Click Add site It will say We’re querying your DNS records Press Next Click on the FREE plan Then, Confirm Plan A popup will ask if you are sure. Confirm You are taken to a page of details about your site. You need to change the A and CNAME areas First create new ones Use your own domain where mine is, obviously When you have added those two, delete the other A and CNAME fields that were there previously Log into your domain host Under DNS go to NAMESERVERS and change the nameservers to The first one ruth.ns.cloudflare.com Second one seth.ns.cloudflare.com Now all you h

Living next door

Only few friends have known why I've been so sad recently.  Only a couple know that I live next to an old lady with dementia.  She lives alone.  She has carers come in 4 times a day which she thinks is too much and everyone else thinks is not enough.  She's never gone out much when well and when they did, would phone the other neighbour sometimes 4 times a day to make sure their home was still okay..  She's never liked people, or the countryside, or healthy food, or life basically.  Her husband was the same until he died   he would put out his bottom lip against many, many things.  They had their own way of doing things and we would clash often but, surprisingly, were quite good friends and they loved the pups.  I took them around often. He died a few years ago.  She had a fall and now this is a lady, with dementia, that shouts all day.  She shouts at night.  She shouts in the morning, afternoon and evening.  Every breath has a shout at the end. When she falls asleep, or

My New Online Diary

We've all done it.  It's so easy to do.  Pop into a store and come out with a diary, promising yourself, 'this year'! Then a week, month, or quarter in, it's discarded as life truly takes over. I just found Blogger again, after having had this web log for many years, and I was shocked as I saw the crap I'd put on it.  So I wiped it and am now using it as a diary.  I'm hoping it will be a diary of posts I, and others, add to my main site...and for my own days events here.  I'm even adding my YouTube favourites. Perhaps one day someone will find this and say, here is someone I would have got on with!  Or not... Who knows. So, for better or worse, here is my new online diary.  Welcome!
