Finally, after months of being hosted at samliu.mine.nu (my workstation which serves as my playground development server), I’ve moved this blog back to Sammyliu.com and tidied up the posts which were uncategorized, untagged, and a mess. I also (if you haven’t noticed) created a new skin from scratch, this one fluid and scalable. Its technically not transitional right now (70 something errors?) However, that is only because for my widgets I used a lot of br and img tags without self-closing. My bad. And of course there are a few other minor details, maybe little errors in my CSS I never bothered to fix. I’ll get to them when I have more time. The important thing is that this site is finally here, in all its accessible glory. I need it to be here so that when I apply for more web jobs, employers have a place to call mine. Sure ApocNation, DoveMind, Ambush Networks, all mine…but this represents me, as a person, I think. And of course, my blog buddies are dying to read about my fascinating life [insert sarcasm here] and so finally, my blog is again public.

That isn’t to say I don’t have private posts of course

Luckily for me, Andrew Staniforth is smart. He saved a backup on 4.10.08, which is far more recent than my 3.10.07 backup.

So HolmdelForums will be back as soon as I get enough money to purchase a new server. Which hopefully is tomorrow. If not tomorrow, tuesday. I gotta get enough money by tuesday… finals are friday.

So essentially, if Josiah’s servers don’t go back up, I lose 3 years worth of my life. 3 years of logging my progress through high school, all because I failed to make a stupid backup. Oh and like 2 years of Holmdel Forums stuff. Yet I don’t care that much somehow…I want to start fresh. Junior Year is over… so yup. I’m starting here, on my laptop, where my files don’t die mysteriously. Haha.

I think…hmm. I think after 3rd mp this year, someone ripped my brain off its hinges. Thus, I currently lack the capacity to feel angry about my loss. I’m just thinking ahead, toward making a new blog that will record the next phase of my journey through life.

Wow my actual server has been down so long, I’m actually scared cause my backups are so old.
I’ve worked so hard on my blog so it’d be a pity to see it get erased…not to mention all the other stuff I left
on that server! Yeah so I’ll be updating this page regularly to keep on track.

You know what really sucks though? 3 years of high school, written into a blog thicker than a harry potter book…poof. One server outage, gone. That will teach me to back things up…

Ahem. At any rate… This is the start of Mental Stability Log V2. Sam’s way of staying sane by informing on the random. Yeah. Oh and from now on, I’m only going to use themes I design. That way, I can use this site to blog but also to showcase my web talent. Yeah.
