Been waiting on the OS upgrade, since I'm checking to make sure people have backed up stuff. Though I'm pretty sure I will sign up for it today.

Basically, I've been told that to upgrade, I have to order a new VPS on a new server, as the one I want is incompatible with the server I'm on right now. Apparently. So they have to go through the fun process of transferring my data and giving me a new IP and etc.

I did save backups of my sis's, Eni, Rin and Selina's directories, and MAY do it again right before I know the site will go offline, but if I REALLY wanted to be thorough, I should go on IRC and tell people myself. Meeeh don't wanna. I know Eni reads this now and then, so Rin is the only one who'd be kinda in the dark. I'm just... having a hard time nowadays being communicative with anyone. I feel like withdrawing more and more. Maybe I will still try to nudge him myself though, I really ought to. :(

Compounding my asocial behavior is the fact I had a bad situation happen with RPoL recently. I am reluctant to write about it much because I don't want to risk any messy fallout if the people involved read this. But it put me in a terrible mood for a while, and so I feel inclined to detail it. Perhaps it will be therapeutic.

Well I'm also setting up to get the OS kernel updated for the webserver. It may occur tonight. I'm making my $40/month work for me and getting the techs to do it. Why else would I pay that much, heh!

I'm running into problems figuring out how to install some caching stuff, and while I was flailing at things I thought "I should upgrade my OS." (In this case from CentOS 4.7 to ... 5.3? or whichever it is) Lo and behold the hostforweb people are willing to do it for me. So I will let them do it. :P Mostly, because I'm lazy. Note: I haven't decided to do it yet, because the techs are informing me it's more complicated than I originally thought. But I am starting to backup to my hard drive right now.

It depresses me a bit that I'm too lazy with OS stuff to even bother. I know I ought to at some point just bite the bullet and reinstall from scratch, and really optimize things, because it's something I *could* do... but I am no linux hobbyist. All I want is for my site to run faster than it is right now, the problem is hindering what I *really* want to be doing. That is, WRITING!

I wonder if this bodes ill for when I am actually going to go back to college. Oh well. I have a headache right now so I'm going to lie down soon. I've been having insomnia problems... again.
