I wanted to write a new article today but I have spent the better part of 2 days working on my websites.
It all started when I went to work on one of my blogs and instead of seeing it, I saw a message from my hosting company that my blog was suspended due to a TOS violation. What?!?!?! So yesterday was spent trying to figure out why I (more…)

I know I don’t get a ton of traffic, but I also know from my stats there are a few of you who do come by from time to time. So I just wanted to let you know what happened here.

I removed my previous post. I had changed some settings in the php.ini so I can upload bigger videos through the Word Press Media interface. Before I did that, I was getting a error that the files were over 2mb. Gee, ya think, my videos are over 2mb’s. Who would have thunk it. Anyways I fixed it so I can upload files as big as 75mb. But when I tried to use the built in player, FAIL. So I removed the post. I’ll just use the plugin I was using before.
Just an amusing update about the indianpad.com spammer.
I created an account at indianpad.com, complained about all the spam I was receiving, told them who the users were (all the same guy from the same 2 ip addresses), sent copies of the spam. Then I tried to log in 10 minutes, later to see what was said, I find my account there no longer exists. And the accounts where the spam links, are all still there. I guess indianpad.com supports their spammers. It doesn’t bother me any, I just thought I’d see how they would respond. The funny thing is, the site itself is like a cheesy Indian (East not Native American) rip off of digg.com However, the links that have been left here, go directly to a user account, who has nothing but online pharmacy links.
So if you’re looking to be a blog comment spammer, let me recommend www.indianpad.com Not only will they condone your actions, they will ignore any complaints and delete the accounts of said complainers.
To the guy that keeps leaving all the Indianpad spam.
Error: can't open redirects.log file Possible reasons: 1) cron is not working (read FAQ) 2) there is no urls in this scheme 3) there is no such scheme or use (LMAO)

PS. I think I’ll make a account at Indian Pad and leave spam of my own and copy your spam to it.
I thought the old theme was pretty cool, but there were a couple of things I didn’t care for. Don’t be surprised if there are several face lifts around here while I experiment with different themes. It may not look as good right now, but it is more functional. I’ll spice up the look a bit, later.
Tommy The Cat
Funny thing happened on the way into the office this morning. Ok, well not really on the way in. Last night, I was really tired and my cat, Tommy, was laying on the bed and came and curled up with me. He laid with his back against my side and grabed my arm and pulled it against him and went to sleep holding me like that. It was so cute that I forgot to set my alarm clock. Normally, I wake up before my alarm clock even goes off. However, by mid week I’m usually pretty tired in the morning, from staying up too late the previous nights. I guess that’s what happened because I didn’t wake up on time this morning. In fact, if it wasn’t for Tommy, who knows when I would have woke up. That’s right, Tommy made sure I wasn’t too late this morning.
At the time I was supposed to be leaving for work, I was still sound asleep. That is, until Tommy realized it. He jumped on the bed and started walking back and forth across me while yelling at me. I woke up and thought, WTF is he doing??! Then I looked at the clock and saw it was 9:30! Yikes! I’m already supposed to be at work! SO I hit the floor running and got to work, without being too late. It only takes me 10 mins to get to work, so other than looking like I just rolled out of bed, and being 15 mins late, it wasn’t too bad. Thanks to Tommy that is. Who knows how long I would have slept if it wasn’t for my amazing Tommy The Cat. I knew he knows when I’m supposed to get home because he is waiting for me at the driveway, except the time he was really sick. Apparently he knows when I am supposed to leave for work also. Now if I could just teach him that I don’t have to work on the weekends and that it’s ok for me to sleep in those days.
By the way, stay tuned for Tommy’s blog. I’ll let you know when it’s up and running.
When I first started this blog I was fairly excited. I already have a blog about all thing computer related at www.pccybertek.com However I wanted to do something that was a bit more personel. So I was rolling right along, updateing almost everyday.
Then my cat, Tommy got sick. I don’t remember the exact date but everything was fine. Then Monday night, before new years, he was lying on the bed. His eys looked really bad and were rolling up in his head. He wouldn’t respond to us. It had us very scared. The next day, when I came home from lunch, my wife said she didn’t know where he was. He usually waits for me everyday when I come home for lunch and I didn’t see him either. I went around looking for him, calling his name and couldn’t find him. Then when I was walking back to the front door I herd him meow softly, and found him hidden between some stuff on the porch.
He didn’t look good, but at least his eyes weren’t rolled up. When I got home from work he was sleeping, which he had been doing all day. The next morning I noticed he hadn’t touched his food. He eats a lot and it’s not like him not to eat at all. This went on for several days.
New Years eve was really a bummer because we still couldn’t get him to eat a single bite of anything. New Year’s day was the same and he still wouldn’t eat, although he would drink a little water. I had followed him out the day before when he went to the bathroom because we were afraid he might go somewhere. But he came in after he went to the bathroom and it was bad. We wanted to take him to a vet but they weren’t open.
We finally got him into the vet on Friday. They said no at first, but I explained how bad he was and they squeezed us in. The trip to the vet was not a fun time. This is getting long enough without going into that. Anyways, it cost us $400 for x-rays and a blood test which didn’t tell us anything. They did give him some water intravenously because he was “so dehydrated.” They couldn’t get urine for a test so we had to reschedule bringing him back the next day, Saturday.
Saturday morning Tommy pushed the box out of the way, that we had blocking his cat door, and got out. So we had to reschedule again. They weren’t open Sunday, so we had to make it for Monday. By this time, we were sick with worry. Not that we weren’t before. I finally had a couple days off of work and all I could do was sit around and worry about him. My wife wasn’t doing much better. There were quite a few times that I went and sat or laid with him on the bed, where he spent most the time sleeping, that I came out of there teary eyed. That was the 6th day he had gone without eating a single bite. His fur looked real bad and he had lost a lot of weight. You could see the sadness in his eyes.
Saturday night I took a can of his favorite food in with me into the bedroom. I had tried to all his favorite treats and foods all week long. So I showed him the can of food and he lifted his head a little to sniff it and laid back down again. Just like he had done everytime before. I dipped my finger in the can and tried to put some of the gravey on his lips. He turned his head away, but licked his lips. He looked a little intrested so this time a put a little more gravey on his mouth. He licked it up again. So I did that several times and put a little food on his upper lip. he licked it and sat up a little. I did that several more times and showed him that it was from the can in my hand. Then I put the can under his nose and he started eating. He kept eating. He stopped to get his breath and went back to eating again. I yelled to my wife that he was eating! By the time he was done, about a third of the can was gone. When I brought the can in to the living room, to show my wife how much he ate, lets just say my eyes weren’t dry.
Sunday morning I noticed more of his food was gone. Tommy kept eating through out the day. He even ate some of his treats. He was still sleeping all day, but he was getting up to eat now.
Monday I had to go back to work so my wife took him to the vet. They still couldn’t get a urine sample but took another blood sample. They also still couldn’t tell us what was wrong with him. At least now he was eating again .
The past couple years haven’t been easy for us. Two years ago, my wife lost her father after a bad battle with cancer. Then this last year she lost her mother. This was her first holidays’ with out either of them and it was tough. Even though Tommy is a cat, he’s very special to us. We don’t have any kids and he is like our kid. I knew he was important to us, but I didn’t realize truly how much untill this happened. He is getting better. He is still very skinny but he’s back to sleeping with us and following me around. When I come home from work, he’s waiting for me again. I think he knows how much we worried about him because lately he has been kissing us on the head more than ever. When I look at him now, I can’t help but think how lucky I am that he is still with us.
Tags: cat, TommyToday I was supposed to go finish a computer repair job. Then I got a call that it would be better if I did it tomorrow morning. I didn’t really want to have to go work tomorrow morning, but it ment I could stay home today. So I was just starting to get into the idea that I has the day off, when the phone rang again. This time it was work and I was needed. I had to go in for a couple of hours to make some updated weather forecast videos. We just had some good storms and Mammoth got quite a bit snow, like four feet. So we couldn’t continue to run the previous weather and conditions reports.
