SQL, htaccess, and Yahoo Hell

I have been debating changing my internet service from DSL to cable but I really enjoy being able to surf the net when the cable goes down and hence there is no television to mindlessly pass the time. I decided not to change right now even though my service has been changed so many times I can not remember them all. From SBC Global to yahoo to att the list is long through the years.
.
My personal opinion is that since Yahoo got involved my service sucks. I was forced to move my website from geocities to yahoo’s web hosting and I can tell you what a rip.
.
I have just spent way to much time in the past weeks trying to figure out why different WordPress themes had bad behavior across browsers. Then my feeds started going wonky. I did the well known hunt for white spaces in all the php files only to conclude the problem must be with the htaccess file. Ok, well when I was with geocities although there was no access to the file I had a work around where I would just upload my own and for whatever reason it worked. Yahoo web hosting has no means for me to edit the file. Upload a new one etc. So, when it is biffed your toast.
.
I know I need to change web hosting service because – really – hello – I understand Yahoo’s take on security but not allowing me to edit my htaccess file is – well really sucko. Especially when my blog is broke and I can’t fix it. So those of you still using Internet Explorer are just gonna have to deal with a broken looking theme for awhile.
.
I have unsuccessfully exported my database and tried to import it on another host use but for whatever reason the import fails because the database has duplicate entries. AUGH! Once this glitch is figured out I plan on moving my kmilyun.com to another host. I have never done this so it might just be really interesting LOL.
.
I am betting that yahoo will throw in some wrenches. I know it is them LOL cause when I export and import other databases on the other host it works like a charm. I just moved my photoblog database to a new database with a different name and woo hoo it all worked out. On yahoo I can not even get the stupid php admin to work right. Every time I access it I have to reinstall it! And please Oh please don’t suggest I communicate with the help desks at Yahoo – that is akin to a nightmare on blog street.

Well more laters . …

Waking UP

As I opened my eyes the day began. I lay in bed and did what I call a function test. I wiggled my toes, looked across the room to make sure my eyes were still working, and slowly slid to the side of the bed and stood up.
.
I made my way to the bathroom and found my toothbrush. Just putting a dab of toothpaste along it bristles I started brushing. Moving on to the pill box and then downstairs to the coffee pot I am slowly waking up.
.
Cup in hand I go back upstairs and get dressed for the day. I found my blue socks and pulled them up. They have a small yellow sun along the top edge. Next after the under garments I sat on the bed and pulled on my black Levi jeans and zipped them up. A wiggled into my Dale Earnhardt tee shirt, stood up and found my Nike skate type shoes with the large laces. I so love large laces as they tie easier. On the way back downstairs I grabbed my long sleeve denim Earnhardt shirt.
.
The wind is really blowing rattling the windows and occasionally I can hear the noise of items toppling outside, scrapping the ground as the are swept up and dragged away in the gusts. The door upstairs slams shut. Outside the air smells of rain the odor that comes from wet dirt and road mixed with a whiff of something familiar that brings back a recollection of a wet fishing trip.
.
I turn the television on and start watching reports on the snow fall and the next stage of the bicycle race. I have to chuckle wondering what Richards Sharp did to end up with the Blue Canyon reporting detail. As they list off areas with power outages I hope that ours stays on long enough to watch the NASCAR race. While listening to the reporter I get a bowl from the cupboard, put some in some water, micro wave it, and pour in an instant pack of maple flavored oatmeal.
.
Back in the living room in front of the television eating my oatmeal and tossing toys for the dogs to fetch I think life is good.
