getting on

getting on

You know, you can buy the Jedward Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby single for 29p from the Amazon mp3 shop.  I bought the Queen/Bowie original because I wanted to and it cost me 89p.  How is that right?  I feel so old.

Top fact (for me) - this year the second May bank holiday falls on my daughters first birthday.  Everyone celebrate Elladay by taking the day off!  Woo!

done.

done.

Well, now, I have my Hero and lo, it doth rock most mighty.  It all just works, as it should.  It feels complete, seamless, where the Omnia felt disjointed and scrappy Beautiful.  And thats all I have to say on it, really.  I think thats enough its as they say, quietly brilliant.

Re Blogger, well.  I still dont know.  I have an offer from Aquarion for hosting, which is very generous, but I still I think face the same issues.  Maybe I should just go WordPress, but I don’t know if I have the time to sort it all out.  People with WordPress accounts is it time consuming to do?

Also, I really really now want a personalised url.  I have my eye on mothinabutterfly.net should I perhaps just shut off all the extra crap (writing and such) and lop it down to a blogspot-hosted blog with that url?  So many questions!

Baby stuff, while I mull over the Blogger situation.

I think shes close to crawling.  She does a kind of.. well, flat out on the ground, arms and legs moving like shes doing front crawl in the air.  Sometimes she goes backwards.  If she has something to push against, she goes forwards.  Its surely only a matter of time now.

She also likes to stand, supported, and wobble about.  Maybe attempt a bit of bouncing.  Then get bored and start yelling, because she hasnt quite figured out sitting back down.  But thats ok, were there for her.  We can help her sit down.

Oh, and Vodafone still havent given me the upgrade, the beasts.

Moving on?

Shit. Blogger are discontinuing support for ftp. What to do? Migrate to - shudder - blogspot? Buy a new domain from Blogger and hope for the best? Or jump ship to Wordpress? I don't want to do any of these things! I have loyalty to Blogger, dammit I've been with them over 9 years now! Nine! That's an eternity in internet years! And I've been on wetflame for, what, 6 years? That's also plenty FAR time. I don't want to be on blogspot! But I don't know what their custom domain shit would do to mikebot's stuff. I had one instruction given to me when I joined the good ship wetflame - "don't touch my stuff". I don't want to let Blogger in to do just that...

Grump.

I don't know what to do.
