Cyber killer

I’m here!!!!!

I think that the world of cyber space has got it in for me, no sooner had I got the mail confirming that the photo hosting was sorted I then got a mail informing me my web site would vanish in 20 days!!!!

To start the tail from the beginning, my photos are hosted on Photobucket and have been for years, when the blog got named “Blog of note “ my usage went through the roof and I had to change from a free a/c to a pro a/c which I did last year. In July I got a mail from them informing me it was time to renew the a/c and so I resigned up using Trialplay. Trialplay is a scheme where you buy a thing from one company and get a free thing from another, in my case I signed up for a months DVD rental £9.99 and got a years pro a/c at Photobucket £35.00 for free, its a really great deal and work flawlessly last year. As I was going away I pre did all my posts, as I always do, and went on my holiday. I then get a message that the images are not showing, once I get home I find out the a/c has not been updated and as a free a/c it has run out of band width, luckily the bandwidth resets every 30 days so the pictures came back. But as a free a/c it was over full and I would lose my images with in the month if I did not up grade the a/c to pro. There then followed a week of emails to all 3 companies, Photobucket, Trialplay and the DVD company, which resulted in a mail last night at 11.00 advising me I am now a pro a/c holder again.

This morning I get the mail from Bravehost who host my web site and have done for 6 years or more. They inform me that they are changing their free hosting package from September 15th and as a result 4/5th’s of my web site will have to go as it takes up more than the new amount of storage space. They have informed me I can up grade to a pro a/c, but it will mean a complete re working of my web site and an outlay of money I just can not afford, but will have to find. All I need now is for Blogger to turn on me and my life in cyber space will be at an end.

Photo to day from the week in Yorkshire a full report next week when thing get back to normal, I hope.

Gosh, that all sounds so complicated, I had no idea, my blog just does it's own thing of course.

Good to have you back, amazing photo. Did you have a good time and how's your back?!

Oh dear!

I've visited so many of my favuorite blogs today and they're all falling apart! I feel like I've missed so many things while I've been away!
I hope you can sort this all out soon because I would hate to think that you're going away into blog heaven!
Ciao

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s
