Arrrrrgh the website woes!

Friday, September 14th, 2007
There’s a hangover from the DNS problem from last month and I am a worthless webmaster that it took me so long and a phone call from a reader to realize it.

The fedback form on my main website is not working for almost a month! Can you imagine the amount of business I’ve successfully lost through not bothering to check all through the site when the old problem was sorted?

I don’t know what the problem is. The form returns an internal server error that speak of premature ending of headers or similar. I feel like pulling my hair out. I didn’t notice that I hadn’t received mail from that form for a MONTH!!!???!!!

It still hasn’t been sorted. The love affair with the hosting providers continues with its predictable monotony, where their first response was that the form was fine. FINE? Did they seriously imagine I opened a ticket to ask them how they felt my form looked? Damn it, I don’t care how pretty or ugly that form is, until it starts working!

For those who are new and clueless about what this “main site” is, its the site http://www.wide-aware.com This site is my bread and butter in the offline world, my learning curve in the online world, and an obsession overall.

Who are you?

I write and write, and imagine people reading my blog, clicking through to something else, reading that. Nameless faceless creatures in the dark known to no one, except server logs.

The only thing I guess I know about you, is that you are probably interested in computers and websites and blogs, considering that you are here.

Could you take a moment and drop me a line (or a thousand words) about yourself? I’d like to know more about you.

The only thing I guess I know about you, is that you are probably interested in the outdoors, considering that you are here.

Could you take a moment and drop me a line about yourself and your interests? I’d like to know more about you.

There is this set of banners from Valley of the geeks that takes the cake for brilliant “campaigning” and sheer genius in ensuring memorability. I’m posting my favourites here. Visit the site for more of them. I wish I had made them :D







*Sitting to scratch out some interesting ideas for banners
