unbelievable

hearing: Feel ~ Robbie Williams & Some Sorta Fairytale ~ Tori Amos

hot daymn. you would not believe what just happened. for the past few days, everytime i'd drop by my blog, it'd look like dump truck ran over it, full speed ahead. being the illiterate i am when it comes to html, i presumed that i had bungled something up during my quest to discover what little html know-how i possess (if ever there are any). i had no idea where i went wrong... i kept coming back to the source for the page and making little adjustments to see if it would restore anything. well, it didn't. i was forced to let the site be, as horrible as it was, for a few days since i'm smack in the middle of my worst academic week ever (well, ain't i always). i have an accounting exam later and an hour long presentation on oligarchies (which i haven't started, by the way.. i am so dead), but i couldn't keep my mind on the work i had to do. images of my wasak blog kept coming back to haunt me. so putting aside the nerd in me, i decided to log on the internet and once more try to fix the mess that was my blog. after much tinkering and pondering, i have finally discovered the culprit. darrnn.. who would've thought. what actually happened pala was that my internet server (i won't mention anymore what it is, since i'm about to bash it big time and they might do the same thing to me again lol) where i upload my template files and images and all that stuff DELETED my account "without warning", as they put it. rarr.

to sum it up, it came off as a mild shock. i had not violated any of their "terms and conditions" which they say i did. mentally conducting a run-through of my blogging activities, i didn't see any plagiaristic or harrasing activities anywhere in it... or even slightly libelous. i had to find out what i did wrong (naks), expecting some terrible (oh so terrible) fault... well, guess what it was. my account was "deleted without warning" because (here it comes, brace yourselves) i had an "irregularly long filename" for one of my images. homaygad, isn't that such a bastardly offense? my oh my, flog me for naming one of my files with two words and forgetting to (horror of horrors) separate them with an underscore or something. sheesh. how idiotically mundane. so kids, remember: watch your filenames 'coz if they too long (insert sarcastic overtones), your server just might delete your account without warning. tsk tsk. that wouldn't be very pretty now, would it?. daymn.

by the way, i've put in a midi file as background music ;p got the site for it from abi. it's a chinese track hehe (i won't say na by whom, those who know will know and those who don't... well, it's no biggie anyway ;p). i've abandoned hopes of putting in an mp3 file as background music. too traumatized, i guess. hmmm.. any feedback (comments... tips... suggestions.. anything)? just tell me if it's annoying or whatever, then i'll take it out. or change it. or something... :D
