twittering recently about comcast coming to my place, only to find that the electrician had not done his job (so comcast dude could not do his either) and only to be without cable for another week…. someone from Comcast was listening.

The twitter user @comcastcares found my post, replied asking for more info via e-mail, and now my new service appointment was bumpped up from a week… to 2 days.

Twitter is where it’s at.

As most of you know, In addition to being everyone’s “Computer Guy” I am also a Certified Pharmacy Technician. It pays the bills inbetween projects.

After passing the exam conducted by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board, you were signed up on their website to use functions like keeping a total record of your required Continuing Education credits, and a buliten board that put you in connection with all of the CPhT’s across the country.

When they redesigned their website, the boards were left out. That’s what I Launched CPhTlink.com. The front is a weblog where I post pharmacy news and free CE lessons. Then there is the Forum which is intended to offer an alternative to the missing boards on the old site.

I launched February 20th, and the forum now has over 20 active members. Not too bad for such a small niche market, and very little marketing.

If you are a tech, or know any… feel free to spread the word.

I’ve got a new theme up for the rebirth of Digitalpretzel.com. I am still tweaking this one to make it look less like a downloaded template, and more like something of my own. We’ll see how it goes.

All the posts were lost when I switched webhosts. I thought I backed up the Database correctly, but I was wrong. I was able to save all the images, however.

So here comes another year of posts and pictures. To those who actually read this anyway.

Lost…..

For some reason, the database backup on WP failed me. I may have been able to back up the entire database over at DOTEasy, but now I should work on sorting through what is what on the database, as not to overwrite anything on the current server.

I saved my theme and plugins and files, but all entries, links, categories, etc. are all lost.

that sucks.

1 year of DP lost to the computer gods.

Moving…..

I am in the process of switching hosts and upgrading wordpress.

Everything should be hunkey-dorey by Tuesday.
