E is for Excellent, D is for Dork
Look at what Jenny (Chased by Angels) and Dawn (Baby Addiction) gave me…the Excellent Blog Award. Aren’t they nice? I’m fairly certain they actually meant to give me the Dork Award, which I deserve for I locking myself out of my own server over the weekend.
Apparently, if you enter the wrong password too many times, the firewall locks out the offending IP address. In this case, my IP address. I couldn’t load any of my sites in the browser, receive/send email, or log into my server. Did you know that if you can’t log into the server, you can’t unlock yourself? And since it was my server, there wasn’t anyone I could call to unblock my IP address. I had to use an old computer at my parents house to log into my server and unblock my IP address. I’m such a dork sometimes. Reminds me of the time I locked myself out of the house…on the day I was suppose to offer a dowry to the outlaws for Mommy Forever.

Funny! Glad you were able to unlock yourself. My husband constantly gets us locked out of our banking account because he for some reason can’t remember the password and rather than call me he goes for third times a charm each time. It never is the charm btw.
In my case, ten times. You have to be a real big dork to mess up on the password 10 times in a row.
First of all, the new look surprised me. I kinda like it - it will just take me time to get used to it.
Secondly,….BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is JUST the sort of dorky thing my hubby would do!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Truly, K, I’m laughing WITH you, not AT you…
The old design wasn’t wide enough for my taste and I didn’t have time to come up with a new design. So, I used the template from my other sites. I hope you’re not using IE 6. The threaded comments plugin moves the middle column to the bottom of the first column. Uggh!
Nope. I use Mozilla Firefox, v. 2.0.0.11. No IE for me!
I like the “cleanliness” of the spare template. I hate clutter on blogs.
It’s funny because it’s happened to us all. Thank you for allowing us to laugh at you, and feel free to come by and laugh at me when it’s my turn.
You’re welcome. Now go finish painting your house.
LOL everyone locks themselves out of something. I do it constantly with my sprint account. I log into it and realize that’s not the password I used. I end up having them text message me with a temp password. Total classic.
The new look did surprise me too, and I’m not using IE. :P
The design is a work in progress. When I have time, I’ll see if I can make it pretty…assuming I don’t lock myself out again.
Oh, you make me laugh! Makes me feel a little better for locking myself out of my computer over the weekend.
Sounds like we both had a great weekend with the pc.
You don’t understand: GEEK is in. DORK is in. You rock, Daddy Forever. We’re all hoping for dork of our own (well, I am anyway)… . . . . .
Oh, so it’s a compliment when my wife calls me a nerd.
Erm … where’s the old layout? I liked that one better … I feel like I’m in the wrong blog … huhuhu
Oh, until now, I didn’t even know people liked the old design. Sounds like I need to play around with the new design some more.
Ha! You don’t know how many times I have had to change my password on my checking account because I locked myself out of it. Now the password is written down in my address book.
I did like like your old blog format. I am one of those people who shy away from change, but change is good sometimes. It did kind of surprise me, though.
I think my design is too simple for most people. But that’s me, simple. However, I would like to add some graphics soon. The design will be a work in progress.
Congrats! You are also rate E for everyone ;) I once locked myself out of the house (before we had Anna), and I wasn’t wearing a bra. NICE. I had to go over to my neighbors “free range”, while I waited for my husband to come home and unlock the door for me. Did I mention that they were Jehova’s Witnesses? Yeah, good times.
Ha! I’ve done a few lockouts of my own but I won’t own up to any at this time. ;) Congrats on the award!
Hugs,
