I finally got around to upgrading my journal.
All the way from v. 1.3.10 to 1.3.11.

Wow.

or The entry in which I say a bunch of disjointed things

So much for updating every day. The week after I posted that, all I did was finish up my site to get everything ready for launch last Monday. Last week, all I did was study for exams. This week, I’m in London (and in Kincardine for a dentist appointment). Too busy to update my journal with boring entries about stuff no one cares about “Today I studied for exams. Go me.“

Why is it that in almost every “group” I join (in one way or another), there’s always a loud, vocal, annoying minority that makes the rest of us look retarded?

I got this cute new icon from here. I had to chop it up a bit to make it fit under the 40k LJ limit, though, so it’s missing a couple frames over there. 😛 At least this journal has the full version. ^_^

Must update my geeklog site version.

It’s funny how the first time I advertised my site, I got burried under orders and had to work all summer to catch up. The second time I advertise, I haven’t even sold enough to pay my rent. 😛

Not done midterms. Have one after I get back from “spring” break.

Josh’s apartment is hot.

I think I’ll go to bed now.

Current Mood: sleepy

Thanks to all those who helped out testing the ordering functions of the site.
All accounts and “orders” have been wiped.

Please note that the PayPal system has been set to live, so will no longer accept PayPal Dev transactions.

Thanks again! ^_^

Is there a way to do in FireFox what was easy with IE?

I wants to save a couple cookies but not on the cookies.txt file. I want to remove them from the list to test out what happens if I don’t have the cookie(s), then replace them if it doesn’t work and I need then back. [Still working with Coppermine. I’ve got a couple “headers already sent” errors I need to fix, which I need to have no cookie to see in the first place. But due to the errors, it won’t issue me any new cookies, which I need in order to log in as admin and change settings to help errorshoot]
It was easy in IE, because all the cookies were separate files. Now it’s just this one file, says right in it “This is a generated file! Do not edit. To delete cookies, use the Cookie Manager.”
I tried editing it anyway, and while removing the “cookie” by deleting the lines in cookie.txt, then refreshing the page really does remove the cookie, pasting it back into cookies.txt does not make it work again. In IE, I used to have a folder of “cookies to keep”, so I could wipe my entire cookies folder, then just copy/paste the ones I kept, and I would stay logged in to the sites those cookies were for (ie LJ, hotmail, etc).

Cookie Manager doesn’t have a way to do what I want, you can just Delete Cookies, so is there even a way to do it with Firefox?I found an extension called Cookie Culler, but it just seems to be able to prevent certain cookies from being deleted, not store them elsewhere and import them back and have them work.

(This is really only a slightly preemptive need. Right now I have a cookie, so I can log into admin, and for some reason the gallery displays fine for viewers. That’s really all I need; I can have customers email me photos, like what I do now, and upload all gallery images myself instead of letting customers do it if it turns out I can’t get cookies to work for customers either. I’m just worried about what’ll happen when my current cookies expire (~midnight tonight), because if I haven’t fixed the errors by then (and I have classes today), it probably won’t issue me a new cookie, and then I won’t be able to upload images either. The whole point is to have a gallery that can be updated everytime a customer send me a photo of them in their hat (or, ideally, have a single “customer” login so customers can upload the files themselves, a this might encourage more people to send them in))

Oh – I’ve already tried loggin in using IE, saving the cookie, and using the “export cookies” feature to send it to FireFox. I can’t login in IE due to the “headers already sent” error which causes a “your browser cannot accept cookies” error, so since I can’t login there’s no cookie to export to FireFox.If there’s no way to do this, I guess I’ll just install coppermine separately from the shop. I could have it open in a new window, but it’s still going more “away” from the shop than customers are supposed to go. They’re supposed to hang around and buy stuff. ^_~

I finally do something really cool, and I can’t show anyone.

I got the Coppermine gallery to work with CRE Loaded OsCommerce (the software I use for the new store). I had to edit over 150 files (it was simple copy/paste/comment out stuff, but that’s still a lot of files) and document what I did to do it. Well, I didn’t have to document what I was doing since it was pretty simple and I have several backups, but in order to submit it to the CRE Loaded team as a user contribution I have to.

And I can’t upload it to my site! My FTP connection maxes out at ~0.11kps, and every third or fourth file it either only partially transfers (causing lovely errors) or gets an “error” from the server.
FTP’s the same for all my sites, so it’s not just the host I use for KC. Even the regular internet is super slow.

While I was working on the gallery last night it was sooo slow trying to upload and backup my website I finally just gave up and learned how to set up a localhost environment for myself on my computer. It was faster to set up that than it was to download my entire site to back it up. How retarded is that?

Is something going on that I don’t know about? Mass DOS attacts again? Some big virus I haven’t heard about yet?

Especially those in my own home.

There’s been a cricket in the wall of the hall for over a week now. Why is this thing not dead yet? Keep me up, and wakes me up early because it
Won’t.
Shut.
Up.

Grrrr.

Bah. They’re cancelling Enterprise.

Jeffrey Combs better be in the next series too. He’s hot, and always plays his characters really well. I love(d) Weyoun and Shran.

“every once and awhile”

–> every once in a while

Wiarton Willie apparently disagrees with Phil today.
Phil saw his shadow, and Willie didn’t.

Willie even goes so far as to write a poem about it:

SPRING IS HERE!!!!!
Willie’s shadow did not appear
Which means springtime is almost here
The time of year when flowers grow
When we finally see the end of snow

Put away your shovel, mitts and hat
Bring out the barbeque, ball and bat
Plant your bulbs and wash the car
Stay out late and count the stars

Get your umbrella and rain boots ready
Fly a kite. Hold it nice and steady
Take a walk along the shore
Don’t forget your springtime chores

And the next time you’re in town
Don’t forget to tour around
And thank our little groundhog friend
For bringing winter to an end.

He’s come a long way from his crime-ridden youth.

It was pretty nice out today. Sunny.
I wonder if Willie will see his shadow tomorrow.
Now I want to watch Groundhog Day.

Made fajitas for dinner. Yummy.

So sleepy. Not enough sleep for days.***************I’ve made the “you must click continue” part of the order process more obvious. Apparently I got 3 “orders”, but no confirmation emails because it seems no one clicked continue after paying to get back to KC to confirm the order.

If any of you did actually click through and got the checkout_success page at KC after paying with paypal, please let me know. Could be another error.
