Off to Scotland!3
Will be back in a week - hope everyone will have a good time while I’m gone! Although probably not as good as me, surrounded by sexy Scottish accents… *g*

There seems to be something wrong with the sendmail settings on all my sites - email works just fine, but I’m not getting notifications from anywhere on my sites. So if you comment and I don’t answer, I might not have gotten your email. Although of course it might also be that I’m not at home and without net access - at least until next Thursday, when I come home from Scotland… ![]()
Yesterday, I emailed all my hostees letting them know that most of them (namely those that I don’t really know) will have to find new homes for their sites until the end of March. I’ve been getting warning messages about running out of space for most of my domains, and I just had to face reality (finally) and come to a decision… Makes me sad, though, to think of all the people that will lose their sites because I basically turned them out.
You can find a copy of the note I sent out in the updates log, which is mirrored on all domain main pages. I really angsted about how to formulate this - I’m just very afraid of disappointing people, even people that are basically strangers. But it all comes down to money, unfortunately, and there was no other choice.
There’ll be quite a lot of work for me when I have to go through all the accounts I created for people, making sure they received the email (which they only did if they added their site to my hostee database, which is a requirement but probably not always followed). But first it’s Scotland, which I’m really looking forward to! *smile*
Oh, btw - I added a sticky welcome note to the top of the main blog page. Just thought it might be useful for people dropping by randomly…
This is Evamaria’s blog - irregularly updated with random stuff about my life and the things that interest me. If you know me in real life, be sure to comment and let me know that you found me! Actually, the same goes even if you don’t know me in person - I love getting to know new people, even if sometimes I’m really bad about answering email. But I always do, eventually. Just be patient.
Anyway, you can find everything you might want to know in order to learn about me and navigate this site on the right - just scroll down, it’s all pretty self-explanatory (except maybe for ‘SAD’, which means seasonal affective disorder). Have fun surfing around!
Just came off the phone with Regina - we’re leaving for a week in Scotland (mostly Glasgow, but also a bit of traveling) on Friday. Yay, I’m slowly getting all excited! I can’t really afford it, but I just love Scotland and couldn’t say no when Regina asked me… Glasgow is great (I finally want to see the Charles Rennie Mackintosh museum), and I hope we’ll get the chance to catch a bit of the nightlife, since she’s got a friend there who plays in a band and is therefore bound to know the good places for live music. We’ll also visit Edinburgh, because that’s just a must for any Scotland trip, and might go see a bit of the countryside, too. It’s all very much not planned - we’ve got a twin room at a hostel for the first two nights, after that it’s all open…
The weather will probably be even a bit warmer than it is here - we had some lovely snow again today, which I celebrated by taking a walk and catching snowflakes with my tongue. ![]()
A fan-made Star Wars III trailer of the special kind…
After being disappointed with Episode II (Episode I I quite liked, mainly because of Qui-Gon Jinn and padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi), I’m actually looking forward to The Revenge of the Sith, I must say. I want to know how they fill the gaps to the original movies.
For a while I’ve been wanting to add some of those small buttons that you see on most blogs - and finally I found an easy way to make some of my own:
Very addictive! ![]()
