Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Well, I am not rich, that’s why this items fall under ‘wish’ list….

  • Treat my family to a theme park
  • Have our house (in my hometown) finished (with a bit of adjustment for a 2nd floor space)
  • American Deluxe Stratocaster (check here)
  • Frontman 25R Fender Guitar Amps
  • Zoom G9.2tt guitar effects
  • Dell XPS M1730
  • A new desktop with the latest components
  • A new cellphone with camera (any brand except Nokia)
  • An Internet Cafe business with 20 stations (all running a mid-spec components), with snacks, coffee, drinks, sandwiches, etc.
  • Own room for my son
  • New home theater system
  • Another XPS M1730 for my wife
  • Another new cellphone for my wife
  • A two hour aroma therapy massage

All of these are just wishes, though I am planning to acquire some of these, I’m not sure if I could get all of these. Some of these (almost all) are just luxury for me.

By the way, I’m accepting donations… hehehehe

What happened to my site?

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Well, I screwed it up.

www.marvincruz.com, my official blogsite was screwed up. (I’m being redundant, hehehe)

What happened?

I was going to updgrade wordpress (the one that powers this blog). Too bad for me, I didn’t follow the instructions for upgrade. Well, I thought I did follow the upgrade instructions, but maybe I missed some part that caused this.

When I uploaded the files and tried to run the upgrade script, the page was blank. Tried to enter the back end (admin area), but still blank. I tried the homepage and it is working. Can’t add any post and I can’t manage my site. I asked some help from a blogger that also uses wordpress, but still no go.

I think the problem is with my webhost…

I didn’t know (cause I didn’t check it) that they are upgrading their mysql servers. I am not sure the cause. It is just marvincruz.com that is not working.

I’ll wait for the upgrade to finish and try to fix the problem. Or worst case, I may have to start my blog again from scratch (I have a back up of the mysql databse for my site and some files, I think I could use those for restore…?).

Anyways, I am back to blogging.

Soli Deo Gloria…
