I underestimated the amount of bandwidth one picture posted on Fark would demand. As a consequence I’ve used up all of the bandwidth that freeunixhost.com allows and they’ve shut down tonemilazzo.com for the rest of the month.
Unless the asshole that I’m buying the server from gets back to me sometime this month with a time and place for me to pick it up (No, I haven’t given him any money yet) then I won’t have a site until November.
Normally this wouldn’t be a serious problem but I’m still looking for work as a web developer and what am I going to show? A homepage that’s 404 and so-then.org’s broken down database?
There’s no point in looking for work in the short-term and judging by what I saw at the job fair this morning there might not be any point in looking in the long-term either. I keep trying to think of some other field to get into but the only career that seems to have any security is “independently wealthy dilettante”.
Were you a link on Fark or just posted in a thread or what? /curious
I just posted an image in one of the photoshop threads.
You can tell people you’re a dilletante.
I know a place where you can buy monocles in bulk…
Quickly now, run home and practice your affectations.
Wait, what channel is “Gilligan’s Island” on?
Hey, at least you ae invited to a cool par-tay this month!
For me it’ll be a Halloween/my-site-is-back-up party.
And there will be much cabbage patching…
Three things:
1) Can’t you just build a server? I know you’re smart enough. Screw this chump who’s wasting your time.
2) Job fairs suck. I went to one a while back before I lander my current design gig. Totally disapointing. You might have to shlep at retail/bartending for a while. Or porn.
3) Your earlier post about the grasshoppers with anal-benefits made me realize that you should do a fumetti webcomic. Get yourself a digital camera, write some scripts and find a few friends to pose for the action. Dan can be quite emotive and assuming San Diego hasn’t changed much, there are plenty of hot chicks around. Plus, you can add in various effects in photoshop to enhance you design skills.
Good luck man, you rock.
So much for that.
I’ll have to think about it.
disregard my latest posting to my own LJ and remember that things get do better.
Sounds like a good time to do some writing.
I second (third?) the idea of the fumetti strip.
…or some writing.
