Uninvited Guests

Toria — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:58:09 +0000

I didn’t end up setting up my new elliptical today, in the time I had planned to do it we had a guest over…a guest that stayed for over 2 hours — groan.

I am not an anti social person really, I just don’t understand why people go around to someones house unannounced and stays for so long.

Basic etiquette should tell you that if it’s not been prearranged..

* Don’t turn up too late
* Don’t turn up too early
* Don’t turn up at a meal time
* Don’t stay too long

Well, with that two hours stolen from my day I no longer had time to do it so it will have to be squeezed in tomorrow instead.

Going to the big smoke.

I hate waiting for post, I ordered two things last weekend that still have not arrived and I am getting annoyed. One is a photo canvas thing that I got for free off of PhotoBox and the other a big chunky heart ring from Debenhams — it’s crazy that they are taking 10+ days to arrive, or maybe it’s me who’s crazy for being so used to fast postage?

The thing about the ring is that I am not sure if I am going to like it or not and the plan was…if I do, to buy the matching necklace for myself tomorrow when I go into the city and get one for my sister in law and if I don’t take it back tomorrow when I go into the city.

It’ll be the only time I am going before Xmas, so unless it arrives in the morning…my plans are buggered!

Dreamhost suck – Episode # 234534

Toria — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 04:37:17 +0000

So, I just found out that if I cancel my Dreamhost package now — while I am all paid up until June 2009, I won’t see a single cent of that money back.

Unbelievable.

I really thought my opinion of them couldn’t sink any lower than it already was after the way they handled (or in fact, failed to handle at all) my Reality TV site getting a peak in traffic.

How can they possible justify charging me for 6+ months of service that they won’t be supplying me with? What are they charging me for exactly? What is the point in pre paying rather than going month by month if you risk losing up to $120 if you need to cancel before the year is up? Is it even legal to charge for nothing?!

I don’t mind admitting when I am wrong, and in this case I was wrong. My opinion of Dreamhost could sink lower, and it has. They’ve stolen approx $60 from me as far as I am concerned.

Dreamhost is seriously not cool right now

I am really annoyed with my webhost now, it’s several hours since they pulled my site offline and mailed me to let me know of the issue — but they are yet to respond to my email about it. It’s seriously uncool to just pull my site like that without warning and then leave me hanging for several hours, I am headed to be within the next hour so if they have not responded by then I will be very very unhappy with them come morning

It wasn’t that long ago I was writing about a website that helps you to find the perfect host, I noted that I didn’t need to use it myself as my web host is great and I am very happy with them, but that you guys might find it useful.

Looks like I might be needing it after all.
