The tech-gods frown

Right. So I have the front page for the new textartisan.com looking the way I want it to look on my local hard drive. Go me. Let’s make it live.

Except for reasons unknown my machine flatly refuses to open an FTP connection to my Cornerhost account. I do not know which technology god I have offended, but if said deity will kindly let me know the appropriate sacrifice, it’ll be on its way momentarily.

(There’s also a freaky delay when I try to access this account via HTTP or POP3 from this machine. I do not know what is causing this. I do know I want it to stop.)

Off to twiddle with Windows stuff that I really don’t want to be twiddling… because I really want this damnable site up before it drives me insane.

Update: Well, I have things kinda-sorta working, emphasis on the kinda-sorta. Lot of 404s on stuff not yet written, lot of server-side includes not working right, not a few pages I still need to retrofit… but, damn, it’ll be cool when it’s done.

But right now I would need a stiff drink if I drank at all, which I don’t.
