Whew!!!

I finally got this thing working again. I just spent a few days learning a bit of server admin and transferring a database from one host to another. Sounds nuts. Anyway, for those of you who have been visiting this site for the past few days may have noticed some problems now and then. If so, I apologize. If not, you didn't miss much importance. I just switched web hosting from iPowerWeb to DreamHost -- which is far better! If anyone is interested in finding a good web host, you can sign up with DreamHost and use promotional code FABGETSNOTHING and save $97 if you sign up for at least a year. I can get up to $97 on a referral, but I put all of it in the promotional code to spread some love around. If you want to spread some love to me, you could use the code CRAZYFAB and save $77 on any year or more plan (and I'll get $20). :-)

Things on the homefront are okay. Glaucia's working on a new design for Graffiti's website, but who knows when that'll be up. Willik is learning plenty about not giving up. Phoenix has definitely entered into the TERRIBLE two's stage. That is an answer to my prayers for patience! ;-)

Well, to those still reading my entries, thank you! Keep praying for me. I just signed up for online school at Baker College to get a Bachelors in Computer Science. I can't wait to get started and feel like something is getting accomplished! Hopefully, I'll be able to let everyone know how good (or bad) online school really is.

And please comment! I'd like to know who really reads this thing.

I know how hard you've been working to get this thing back up. I guess this is a little insight of what things will be like when school starts for you. I'm so glad! Yeah!
And you don't need to tell me about Phoenix and his terrible two's; indeed! :)

At least with school, they'll (hopefully) be teaching me the coding I'll need to know instead of me doing it blindly!

Hey Fab, I did notice how sometimes there was nothing on the site, then it came back then it went away again.

Congratulations on your online course. I hope you can get it done! Sounds exciting.

I start my Carpentry I class on Monday. So, while I getting away from Computer Science, you are getting closer to it. Getting this website done was good practice.

Hey Fabio,
You know I read this thing too... I'm happy for you that you're getting to do something you really want. Yay!!
Love,
Raquel
PS - Now I can use you even more... you know I already think of you as my personal computer expert!! Thanks for always helping out!!

Wow! Thanks for the great comments!
Dad, I hope you'll enjoy the carpentry class. Funny how people can move from one expertise to another pretty quickly.

Raquel -- once I'm done with the college, I'll be out of the learning phase and have to start charging for my services!! :)

Hey Fabio!
Glad to hear you're going back to school... As you know, I've been doing online classes since Fall '04 and I love it (well, sometimes....)
YAY! Now I have someone with whom I can commiserate!
I won't wish you luck, 'cause I don't believe in that.. so.. good providence!
Blessings,

Nadia

Hey, I normally read you on xanga, but I popped over here real quick. I love you and think of you and your family often.

I read your stuff, it is saved as a favorite on my system. I love to see what is going on in my life. You are my inspiration. I started my own blog on Yahoo 360. God bless, man.

Fabio, thanks for your comments on my site. It looks as if you have a great deal of faith and integrity as well. Good luck and best wishes on your pursuit of your degree @ Baker.
