Major hosting troubles!

by

I’m sorry that I missed Green Thumb Sunday.

I don’t know if any of you read my other blogs but I’ve had some major problems with my web host. Last Thursday they sent me an email telling me that they had moved my domains over to another server because something on my sites was over using the CPU resources on their servers.

I’ve spent the last several days going over all my sites, directories and folders, in order to try to figure out what might be causing the problem. Surely it isn’t purely because my sites are too busy?

I upgraded the software for 9 blogs and two websites. Yeah … that was a lot of work. That’s why I was missing in action.

To top it off on Sunday something went wrong with my main blog Tricia’s Musings and my web host disabled the index file so no one could access my site. We had a guest over for the weekend and Sunday was Canada Day so I didn’t even turn on my computer until the late afternoon. Naturally I almost had a heart attack when I saw that my site was disabled!

My sites are all updated and fixed up and I never did find out what was causing the problem. To the best of my knowledge my sites are still overusing resources. I may have to move them to a virtual private server.

So please forgive me for not posting any Green Thumb Sunday posts. It’s been a rough week.






Ever tried hypnosis to cure a problem or fear?

by

I don’t know if any of you have tried using self hypnosis tapes before, but I decided to write about them today because I’ve been thinking of trying them as a way to manage my pain. It can’t hurt to try, that’s what I figure anyway!

If you’ve ever wanted to try hypnosis in order to cure a problem or habit that you might have – such as over eating, weight loss motivation, anxiety, pain control, or to stop smoking now might be the time to give it a try.

If you are interested you can simply visit http://www.instant-hypnosis.com/ and take a look at the over 300 hypnosis downloads that are available to be downloaded instantly.

Right now they are offering multi-purchase discounts and free Mp3 software with each purchase. Apparently the more you buy the cheaper they get! You can purchase a few downloads for yourself or perhaps get one or two as gifts for other people in your life that might have problems that they’d like to try to work on. Oh and they offer free international shipping so that’s a bonus right there!

Visit the site to see the various Hypnosis downloads.

Make sure you have the best picture on your HDTV with PixelProtector

by

In the winter, when I can’t garden I often watch whatever gardening shows that are on, and I also enjoy watching nature documentaries. I have an HDTV so the experience of watching some of these types of shows is quite nice as you can see the true color of the plants, flowers and wildlife. In fact the picture is so good that it’s almost life like in quality.

If you have an HDTV as well you might be interested in purchasing PixelProtector . It’s a DVD that helps you analyze your televisions picture and helps you calibrate your televisions picture. I didn’t realize this but poor set up and calibration can actually degrade the quality of your TV’s image and even threaten the life of the unit.

PixelProtector can help you fix screen burn and dead pixels as well as help you set up your TV so it displays the highest quality picture.

You can use PixelProtector with LCD, Plasma and rear projection TV screens. Just follow the instructions as you play the DVD and within a short period of time I’m sure that you’ll notice that your picture is better than it ever was. The DVD sells for quite a reasonable price, especially when you consider that it could extend the life of your expensive TV set.

Visit PixelProtector.com to get more information about this wonderful TV set up and calibration tool.
