Long time no see

I didn't post for long time on none of my blogs. And I have a lot of stories to tell. But not now. For now I am just want to announce you all that I am back. In the last time I had a lot of stupid problems in my head. Yes in my head. I really want to find a girlfriend and I tried almost evrything. I even tried mIRC ,and dating sites..... nothing was working, and I was so sad. But now I think I fine for a while so I promise that I will post more.
Maybe I will find a nice girl on blogger.

Save the ants blog.

My friend, the one that convince me to start blogging had about his ants farm. That's why I mad my spider farm. Just to make fun that my spiders will going to eat his ants. But I found out recently that hist blog was vanished, just vanished. Seems that at some moment Blogger decided that his blog is not OK and he get a message in the Dashboard under the blog name that the blog si suspended and require manual verification by clinking an link The problem is that when he clicked on the link was getting a a error message that say that the blog don't exist. Also the blog is no longer online, and if I try to access it I get a 404 message with "The requested URL was not found on this server." Even worse then that. If he is trying to create a new blog with the same name it say that the name is not avail because is taken. He had about 30 blogs on the same account but just 3-4 were interesting blogs. The sad part is that it happened to only the interested ones. The ones with most of the visitors. He already completed a lot of support forms and send them a dozen mails with no result. Nobody answer him what is going one.
This is really crappy. He put a lot of time in his blog and now is so disappointed to start all over again. Another blog was about the Foot Man Frenzy (Word of Worcraft) and he had a lot of posts (One year worth of post) and was having Google page rank 5 and a lot of back links. And he really worked for a lot an put a lot of time in to it.
I am wondering what is going on. Did blogger decide to sabotage him or just a technical problem . Maybe somebody flag him just form because it was invidious that it has so much success with his blog. I am really feeling sad for him and and I consider that is really not fear.
I convince him to start all over again but this time using a payed hosing. So in case something go wrong at least will have somebody to sue. After all Blogger is a free service and is not guaranteed.
But I really re command everybody to backup their data once in a while. If you don't care abut your work, why somebody should ? But until now I didn't find a solution to backup the blogger data. I promise that as soon that I will have time I will make a tool that backup a blog and eventually imported in some other blog format like WordPress or Drupal. But I don't think will happen to soon because lately I was extremly busy.

Dictionay

In the last time, I didn't had to much time to write anything. Today I have posted something on my spider's blog. So I have decided to write here also. Today topic is online dictionaries. I really had writng my post on my other blog because I didn't know the words. Usually I understand all English words, especially the spoken ones but I have trouble finding my words when I am writing. So I have decided to get Babylon dictionary and to help me. I downloaded the demo version and I have tried to lookup some words. He display my translation form german to rusian , form french to italian, but nothing from romanian to english. Some time ago it was really useful but now is really blotted with a lot of useful stuff in it is to search synonyms and stuff like that. But unfortunately it has a really pore romanian dictionary. So I decided to try something else. I have downloaded WordNet and try to lookup related words that I know about the topic I wanted to write about. It was no help either, so I have decided to try to remember the words that I need. Seems that computer don't have any chance to understand or language ever.

Short post.

Today I will be very short because I am extremly tired and I can't even see the what I am typing. So because of this probably my English will be even worse. And by the way I had to disable anonymous comments because I was to tired to read comments about my spelling. Sorry but I explained at least a 1000 times. I am to bored to reject the stupid comments like, that. And the worst thing is that all that stupid comments are not signed. Any wanted to write about that I finally made it to load a huge database on my new hosting account at GoDady. By default the import is limited to files less than 20 MB. And mine was 150 MB, and the zipped was just under 18, but it didn't work. So I had to upload it uncompressed via FTP and after that use a PHP to import it. (I am referring to BigDump utility , search for it on Google) . The only draw back is that you have to upload the uncompress file. It take about 1 hours. The funny part is that I lost a least 3 time that much tiring to import the compressed one in any way possible. Even splitting the SQL on multiple volume. What I really wanted to say is that sometime just go with the simple method even if it seems more time consuming because some time just tiring to find a easy way prove to be much harder, or :

If you have a difficile task to do , give it to a lazy person and he will find a easier way to do it.

Labels

I anted to write about something else but first I wanted to find a older post regarding what I wanted to write about and ... I realize that is a complete mess. In my blog. So I decided to label the posts, and at the time I was done, I forgot about what I wanted to write so I have decided to write about my labels. Blogger really did a god job with the labels. It make life more easy. Now I can find my post a lot easier and also put some order in the blog. So from now on I will label my posts, and I recommend you do the same.

Bloglogin about blogger.

Hello Lizze,
I had a different name in the URL because I started this blog when I was intending to quit smoking. So that's why I had a different name in the URL. Initially I didn't want to become a blogger addicted but, it happened regardless of my intention. So even I didn't quit smoking, unfortunately, I kept my blog. And because it was my first blog I am not intending change it. For some reasons. One of the is that Google index it already.
Anyway I was thinking to buy a separate hosting for my blog, but I don't know if is such a god idea, because I really like blogger interface a lot, is a lot more nice that the Word Press. Also I remember that you complained that there's no way to export the data from blogger. Yes there is some ways to do it, at least for the new blogger.
The clean way to do it is to go to "Chang the publisher". For this you go to Settings->Publishing and check what is displayed.

If is saying something about classic template then you have to revert to the Classic Template, for this you go to Template-> Edit HTML -> Revert to Classic Template. After that should look like this:
Now you click on FTP. Assuming that you WebHosting Provider use ftp access, like most of them. You complete the FTP Server line with the address of your ftp server where you normally upload your files.
You complete your Blog URL with the address of your new domain. This don't really need to be the same as ftp server. For example if you intend your new blog to has the adders www.myblog.com (assuming that you already have the domain) you put that address.
The rest you complete like this:
FTP Path: /oldblog/
Blog Filename: mainpage.html
Feed Filename: oldblog.xml
FTP Username: YourUsername
FTP Password: YourPassword
Chick on publish and on the FTP you will have a directory named "oldblog" in which is all your old blog , and the the main page is called mainpage.html

BTW: For the people that want to try and don't have a hosting yet, they can setup a FTP server at home and give instead of the FTP server adders your IP address after you started the FTP server software (I recommend Fillezilla for this. Also you have to create an account for blogger and set a password. The Blog URL means where the blog will be hosted, and if is wrong the links will be broken.( Evey link from your blog that point to you blog, e.g: the ones in blog archive, will point to that URL plus the name of the post and )
This way blogger will export your blog to your computer.

Blog title changed

I get a comment from somebody that it really likes my blog title because is really geek alike. And I finally realize that this was the problem, the title. That's nobody like my blog, not nobody but just a few that really know what's about i have to change it.
So for the people that wondering, my old title was

cat /dev/mind > /dev/blog

But seams that most of the people didn't understand the idea so I am going to explain.
In Unix/Linux operating systems the devices are sown in the file system like a files. For example the first disk of the computer is /dev/hda, the second is /dev/hdb and so on, even simpler the mouse device is a file named "mouse" in the directory "dev". Second thing is that the "cat" command is reading from a file and is printing on the standard output ( the console on the monitor by default) but the output can be redirecting in to another file by putting the ">" character after it and specifying the file. So the title mean something like "read from my mind device and print everything to my blog device" i had considered that will be really funny. But seems that nobody understood it. So I have to change my title to something more readable.
Thanks LDF for the comment and for making realize.

I can't take it anymore.

I intended to no longer post this year but I can't support. I have to post, it the blogger addiction. I started blogging to get rid of a old addiction and now I have a new one: posting on my blog. Even I know that nobody reads it I need to post. I have nightmares, if I don't post something before I go to sleep. I can't work if i don't post something when I wake up. I hate it, it shouldn't suppose to be so addictive.



I am relay wandering if should I sue Blogger because they give ma a new addiction ? I read the term of service and is no where mentioned the blogging create addiction. So I need a god lawyer for this.



Blogger take care !! I am going after you.



P.S: Sue Blogger for creating addictions is a patented idea so nobody is allowed to do that except me. Kid's don't do this at home.
