Still Offline – An Update/Summary re: http://www.damienriley.com http://bit.ly/9rflSe

I had hoped today would be the day my host got me back online. Unfortunately, it still hasn’t happened. Here’s a recap of what has transpired:

*My site went down
*I contacted my host about the situation
*They replied that they had suffered a major hardware failure and my site data was lost
*I gathered up my backup data and applied it to a new account they made for me
*That account stopped working
*I started a new account and pointed my domain at it
*That account did not accept my domain name
*I contacted my host company again
*They said they were trying to “free up” my domain so I could apply it to my new account
*I keep trying to add on my domain being repeatedly unsuccessful

This sucks.

Still, I am working with my host because I think they are my best option (believe it or not).

To my readers at http://www.damienriley.com Thanks for your continued patience. This will be fixed soon I am sure.

“Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.” -Aristotle #quotes

My mom used to pull me up off the couch when I was a bored kid. We weren’t allowed to say the words “I’m bored” in the Riley house. Well, mom is not here and it’s many years into adulthood and I can now express it as much as I want so: “I’m bored.” Let me explain:

My website is more or less an extension of my life. If it happens to me or us (The Rileys) you’ll find it on my blog. It’s also a money-making venture for me as well as a place to share my songs. My blog has been down since the beginning of the week and it has been tough. It’s making me realize how much time I spent on it. In a way, perhaps this time off is good in that way. It is showing me perhaps being bored isn’t such a bad thing. Am I a busybody blogger? Is less more?

Am I even capable of not blogging and just being bored?
