hey all!

I think I’m gonna dedicated this blog to the trials and tribulations of bringing up a lil girl. Callia is almost 18mths old now, and we’ve been through quite a bit. So hopefully it’ll give other parents, grandparents etc some insight and maybe some solution to something they’re going through.

..stay tuned, cos over the coming week i’ll start getting this blog organised

ok.. so I’ve heard this ‘Twitter’ being mentioned all over the place.. specifically at work.. and decided to investigate.. apparently it’s a micro blog.. no post is longer than 160 characters.. and its all about the in-between-happenings of your blogging .. or not so blogging.. life.. ie.. the little things that take place .. cos of course I know.. I’m notorious for it.. some don’t blog unless there’s a particular event.. Twitter covers the in-between..

.. so I signed up.. why not hey?.. what’s another Social Networking subscription.. I’m a Gemini.. it hadta be done

it helps that I’m familiarising myself with works tools.. even if it does gimme pretty buttons to add to this blog.. ‘cos now I know what the crap they’ve been going on about..

so far.. I am my only follower.. and only following myself.. if there is anyone who feels the desire to join me.. this is my Twitter address:

http://twitter.com/gurgi_girl

..coolies.. maybe I’ll catch yas Twittin’

As you may have noticed.. the rate at which pics are being uploaded and displayed on my blog have screamed to a literal halt.. it has been made aware to me that PHP memory allocation has been reached for my blog and am unable to add any images for the time being as they cannot be resized.

For ages it was working fine… but since the WordPress upgrade.. and NextGEN plugin upgrade.. I’ve started experiencing issues.. it seems that thumbnails cannot be created as WordPress and NextGEN use up too much of my server’s memory..

Not to worry tho.. DP’s on top of it.. you may have noticed that he’s let them know what he thinks.. and we’re looking into alternative ways to display the hundreds of images I wish to publish.. one option being that DP puts together some sort of plugin that’ll work with Picasa Web Albums ..we’ll see how it goes..

..but anyways, your patientness is greatly appreciated as we fix the problem ASAP

w00000t! let my nakedness fly!

..all in the name of support for CSS Naked Day…

For a period of 48hrs, …Gurgi.Girl will be seen without glitz ‘n glam… in complete nekkid rawness.. so go ahead ‘n perv… why not even get naked too?!

Cheers!

*dances around in all her freeness*

wow.. long time coming.. but after months of events and unexpected twists and turns.. we’re finally here.. and thanks to honeymonster, my site is back online.

Our baby girl, Callia Anne, was born on 27th May 2007, weighing 7lb 1oz and 50cm in length @ Caboolture Hospital, Queensland, Australia. She is now almost 7 months old. I’ll be adding new posts about the event and everything between then and now soon..

And finally… we’ve moved into our own place! We’ve been here just over a month.. and again posts and pics will be added very soon

Thanks again to honeymonster for his generosity and lubly ways.. and thanks heaps to mah mahubby, DP, for working so hard to sort this site out.. even if it is still a work-in-progress… muchly appreciated

..DP has finally started putting together his own personal blog!

i’m sure there were people out there wondering ‘wtf is DP?‘ .. and ‘is this really a relationship that’s 2-sided?.. ‘cos we’re only seeing one.. does he really exsist?‘ .. lol.. well yanno what i mean..

my lurverly partner ‘n soon-to-be-daddy, (Deadpan110), has finally decided he’s got thoughts to share with the world.. i’m sure it shall be an entertaining read..

Well done hunni.. i look forward to seeing your view of the world published for all to see

Getting a domain name for ‘…gurgi.girl’ has been on the cards for ages.. and finally.. we’ve got one

Now, because I do have my own domain name.. it means I’ve had to go onto an Advanced Hosting package, supplied by IND-Web.com, which allows me to have more control over my website, ie. users using the old domain name, http://renee.ind-web.com/, will now be redirected to the new domain name, http://www.gurgi-girl.net/, whilst still keeping my web host at IND-Web.com..

yay

you guessed it.. DP’s been at it again well.. it’s not like it wasn’t warranted.. every day a new bug was appearing on my site.. and gradually screwing up the way the site was viewed.. so DP decided to use the same template design yet reincorporate it onto wordpress default template.. that way we shouldnt have any bugs..

mind you.. although the design’s been merely incorporated.. DP has been a lil creative himself in redoing the top menu bar and site logo.. including a random speech bubble that displays random text from previous posts.. which is quite funky

i used to have the patience to fiddle with website detail.. but it seems DP has taken over that part of me..lol and he’s doing a brilliant job

i think the biggest hurdle of getthing the revamp to work was having it cooperate with IE.. so the design has been tested on the following:

IE [version 6.0.2900]
Firefox [version 1.5.0.9]

if you happen to use a different browser and it doesn’t display correctly.. lemme know

Thankya DP baby.. *likes muchly*

I was pleased to see that Fremen, too, has managed to get his blog back online.. well.. not the same one as before.. but a new one.. he also suffered fatal data loss.. strangely the same way that DP had lost ours.. we’ve been eagerly awaiting his return to the blogging world.. and now he’s finally back!!
WELCOME BACK FREMEN!!
..we missed ya .. look forward to reading up on your achievements with ya new dramatic layout.. very nice!

for those who happen to frequent my page.. you would have noticed that my log has gone through somewhat of a timewarp.. jumping from the most recent posts within October.. and going straight back to beginning of July..

unfortunately.. DP’s cluster crashed a couple of weeks back.. and we’ve both lost data.. he’s lost his entire blog .. and i’ve lost almost 4 months worth.. and that means there’s about 14 posts that havent been able to be recovered.. i will do my best to do an update this weekend..summarising on all events that were blogged about.. if i can remember them..

i would say im sorry.. but im the one that has lost the data.. so it’s not exactly fitting..

anyways.. its gonna take some time to get things back up and running properly.. for those who have websites hosted by IND-Web… your data was protected and untouched.. it was just our (DP & I) personal home directories that went awol..

ah well.. yet another lesson learnt the hard way.
