Trina’s Blog

In case you didn’t see it, nevermind.

But if you did, we had a small, minor– insignifigant even –  glitch on theBlogDumps Bloggers late last night into early this morning.

I would like to inform everyone that not only did I stay up all night working with the server techs but in the end - I fixed it myself.

It was a simple error but because I’m always learning, and mysql is a lot to learn, I was having the server techs trouble shoot the issue with me.

At about 4:00 am this morning I finally gave up and reinstalled the site thinking that a simple database update would be the final fix.  After the reinstallation, the site was sorking perfectly.  The the tech updated the database for me - I specified files (or tables as they are called in MYSQL) and they updated the whole thing.  So I woke up at 7am to the same error that I lost sleep over.

Thank God for morning coffee and encouragement.  Wolfbernz took a look at the site and gave me a WTF look and attempted to find the error.  I decided to give trouble shooting another go and guess what — it took me five minutes to find and fix the error.

It’s amazing how much a little 1 instead of a 0 can make in MYSQL.

The rest of the day turned out great.  All the blogs are up ( I never lost them, I actually archived the main BlogDumps Bloggers Blog but that’s another story for another day and I promise it’ll never happen again!)

So tonight’s drink is a Chocolate Martini.  I recently discovered why people like martinis - they’re all liquor!  I’ve got a two martini limit on the weekday, hence the chocolate martini cause there too sweet to have any more.

My recipe? Oh, it’s really simple.   Buy the chocolate martini mix and some Absolut Vodka, mix 50/50, shake with ice and pour into a chocolate syrup lined martini glass.  For you light-weights, you can pour it over ice, as the ice melts it’ll get a little weaker and last longer.

Have a great Night Folks!
