Eh, that actually has more to do with my ADD attention span. I got those emails but have not had time or attention to be able to deal, aside from downloading them to my hard drive. If you read the archives you will notice I tend to work on different projects in spurts and phases... until my attention for it runs out, or other concerns distract me. While doing the minimal web work I have been the past while, I kept finding things that needed repair and had to be very mindful not to do it all right then. Hyperfocus is a mixed blessing, I have to be careful where I aim it because it can really pull me off track. The reason why Hillary does most of the day to day updates on K-gateway is if I get started tweaking something I might get too interested and three weeks later I've redone the whole site and everything else I had to do fell by the wayside. Got man'ana-ed. It is a gift and a disability... requires some management, and the management means not always being able to respond to posts promptly. If my focus is elsewhere I cannot always just switch tracks to give something else my full attention. I am occupied with a bunch of other stuff at present, and trying to enjoy summer while it lasts. I generally prefer to do web work in Winter when it is cold and rainy but often end up doing stuff in summer anyhow. Having to move my account in the middle of summer, two years in a row sucks buffalo farts. I had not even gotten everything repaired from the last move,... like the search engines for the Klist and tea room archives. It all feels quite hopeless at the moment because I am overwhelmed. When I have too many things that need doing, pulling at me I get stressed and cannot do anything... I'm about at that point now. Maybe writing it out will be a release... I have been trying to stop loathing the web migration procedure so that it will be smooth. Last month I had a funny thought of moving anyway, perhaps if I move voluntarily every year things won't get so catastrophic. Richard presented me with a new computer when he was here... a fast one that can do video editing! I have been going through the old one, moving stuff, archiving and deleting. Going through about 90 g of files going back to 1996... what a mess. I've also been doing some other maintenance type stuff, trying to organize my many mailboxes so the spam and spam bounces get deleted automatically without any genuine mail going missing. .. and that means tracking down every address I use and making a forwarder for it so the catchalls become spam bins. I deleted thousands of spams from my webmail the other day. I also discovered some spam leaks... email addresses not properly spam proofed on web pages. Some list member addresses too... I felt terrible for having overlooked that. The worst problem with mail going missing was recently getting emails like this: >It has been over a month since I have sent payment. I don't know if it >is AOL email or some other reason that I can't establish communication >with you. I am trying a different email service. Any day is fine Late >afternoon or evening your time is good. Send a date,time and number >and I will send another email to confirm. ouch. Very bad. Horrifying. So I have been busy with damage control. In other news.. my main housekeeper has been off for the past month, and I am being buried in my own clutter. I have not even completely unpacked my suitcase from Europe yet. druid is way busy, his three weeks sailing vacation got cut down to one and he is having to work overtime. I have been giving him extra TLC... he gets seasonal affective disorder, the man really needs his "green time" and I have been letting him go fishing instead of asking him to help with house things. We came home from sailing to discover the kitchen had become a fruit fly farm... and they were living in the garbage disposal, and even pouring bleach and hot water down it has not helped. druid and I have both been too busy to properly put everything away after sailing... which enhanced the fruit fly farm well beyond my tolerance. Today while attacking the situation by setting out a glass of sherry for them then sucking them up with a vacuum cleaner, I accidentally knocked a plastic jug of pace picante sauce off the counter and it exploded. The lid popped off .. I think it must have been fermenting, that is the only way it could have erupted with such velocity. There was/is tomato sauce and onion bits spattered 360 degrees in my white kitchen from floor to ceiling. Fruit flies love salsa. Camel broke, I could not deal. I walked away from the mess, took off my salsa spattered clothes in the laundry room and had a time-out. druid dealt with the worst of it, after we got back from the chiro but I am still going to be spending my evening wiping salsa stains. On the list of things for august is a number of large house projects, like rebuilding a set of stone and cement steps going down into my backyard that had been neglected for 5 years before we moved in. I weeded them and pressure washed them two summers ago... and they collapsed. The weeds and dirt had been holding them together. I have to dig out the old steps, and all the dirt and weeds to make a steep vertical trench to fill with the several tons of gravel waiting in a pile out front, then sculpt new steps out of stone and cement. Heavy work, great for building muscle and bone density but hazardous too. Lose my balance on the slope while carrying 50lbs of stone... ? Slow and steady. I always come home from sailing with an interesting collection of bruises and injuries gained by losing balance inside a sailboat on rough seas. Tonight druid commented on a black and yellow smudge at my temple. I hit my head on things on three separate occasions, but that one was from when he accidentally clocked me in the head with an electric boat engine. ow. > I'll store all of that info off-line until everything is working > again. Sorry to hear about the mess. :( I know it's not the first time. I've temporarily deleted the fscnew folder, after backing it up on my hard drive. Seems part of the reason for cpanel migration not working well in the past (and deleting or messing my lists) may have been that it chokes on accounts that are more than 2g so I have been deleting non-essentials that can be restored later in hopes that it will ease the transition. I have not examined the samples you sent. I hate watching myself, and I am afraid of putting my hyper self-critical energy into the Shakti matrix of the work, which could happen if I try to force myself. I will examine them when it feels right, when I am inspired, in a frame of mind to enhance the message with love. I trust your judgment, and for the time being, I really would much rather other helpers review the stuff and give me feedback. I'm sorry the lag is causing such a problem. I have not noticed it in the tape when recording and I don't know where it came from. I probably won't get back to editing the FST lessons until Sept. I have done the first 40, and the word docs were uploaded to fscnew before I left for Europe. I know some of those 40 are still missing bits and pieces, homework assignments etc. I don't know how far Sachiko got with putting them into the forms. I think we got sidetracked with fonts and then I left for Europe. I'll try to respond to May's emails in a week or two but you might not hear much from me until Sept. Most of the projects helpers are working on are not dependent on my editing timeline so no worries. Keep at it please. I'm off to a pagan convention this weekend, Friday to Monday. I'll be doing a third eye & discernment workshop, volunteer. The new hosting account is set up. I'm going to put in the request to move servers when I get back. I hope to have a relaxing time because I am feeling kind of worn out and beat up. Still have to pack... this particular convention is fun but many times I have been ill afterwards. The past few years it is just projectile puking on the way home. Today I have found myself wondering why I am going... but I have made commitments and it is too late to back out now. One thing that astonished me about the pix of my tour of Europe was how much younger I look in the photos where you were showing me castles and Stockholm. I think it was the beneficial effect of both of you snacking on me. Thanks so much! A photo of me today would probably look like something the cat dragged in... if you could help I'd surely appreciate it!
