I'm sorry I've been so down and mopey and rargh-y about everything. The light starts affecting me this time of year, and I've just been a little down and feeling under fire. I'll pull out of it in no time, don't worry. And thanks for all the hugs and support. I've been sucky at commenting back.

The latest in the Print Pelican saga is this - they FINALLY credited me, but $100 short. *facepalm* I asked them to check their records, please.

The latest in the Dreamhost saga - resources files show perfectly normal use - except for a few gm.cgi jumps. I've disabled ALL gm.cgi files except the upload site to see if that's the problem. (And honestly, it could be - the sucker has over 1700 entries, and probably 200 users) No resource logs for the adoption site, so I'm going to un-freeze all that stuff and see if they holler (that site's technically under another user anyhow, I *think*). I'll probably also do a clean sweep of the upload site and re-do it from greymatter scratch. It won't take THAT long. Maybe a few hours. I'll have to set up the users again, I think, though MAYBE I can retain those files. *hopes* It'd be AWFULLY helpful if the resource logs showed folders, seeing as I do have like seventeen seats of greymatter running at various places on my site, and just saying gm.cgi is as useful as saying 'fish.'

Oh boy, 'Jesus' just filled out my EMG contact form... okaaaay...

You totally get to be moey as you want. You get way too much done for anybody to call you on it.

Err. *mopey*

Mopiness is allowed. These things can be so annoying and stressful. :)

Ellen, you need one of those cool artist lamps that improve your mood too!

A high school friend of mine lived in Fairbanks for a couple years, and she got pretty tired of the dark winters. It's pretty rough.

I hope the Dreamhost issue works out all right! At least you've been able to isolate the problem. That's loads better than what happened last time. :)

I've disabled some of the more CPU-sucking bits of it - shouldn't affect the actual site use, just my end of things (which I wasn't using anyway...). So hopefully that will cure the ailment. :)

three words- full spectrum lightbulbs. Or is that 4? It's the only thing that kept me sane the first couple of winters in Fairbanks. Be careful you don't sunburn yourself, though. Heh.

If you can't get the "daylight" bulbs where you'd normally buy electrical stuff its worth trying you nearist sewing supplies shop, they sell them for use by embroiderers, and they would help with your artwork too.

Full spectrum lightbulbs really do work, however, if it's too pricey, try the GE Reveal bulbs - they are blueish, as opposed to "white" that is really yellow. They change the color of the light so significantly it brighter in your house and it pulls colors beautifully.

*HUGS ELLEN TIGHT* Um... I'd be a bigger basket case than that with your kind of daylight hours, or lack thereof, in the winter. I'm bad enough down here in IOWA...LOL
