i woke up at 5, didn’t fall asleep since. i’ve been thinking about dnw. perhaps it’s time to get a more mature audience. so far i think i should combine regretless and dnw. take out the childishness of dnw and leave the useful info in regretless. ppl visiting dnw are just too young to appreciate the hardwork. they expect too much. first your site has to be perfect, then you as a person has to be perfect. i’m tired of that. it distresses me and i think there is no reason to work any harder on it. i refuse now to look at it. i will leave it til winter break. my finals are coming any way.
finally got some news i can look forward to. got a reply from my hosting company a while ago:
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that the move (to another server) will be done this weekend.
I’ll send another update then. No data will be lost – both account will
be active at the same time and all your “old” files will still be
here. I’ll also try to get you refund for this month for all the trouble.

Greg is so nice. I feel like he’s treating me as a friend. sigh… not many ppl can do that. that’s perhaps one of the reasons i stuck with php despite of various bad experiences from other customers.
it’s nice to hear andy’s light snore in the early morning. give me a bit of dreamy feeling. i rolled up the shades in front of my computer a little. i see an empty street and green grass. arr.. grass are still green. this winter so far has been so nice. no snow yet. did you get any? i don’t think i really like snow except i’ve been wanting to sled. then that’s not the most important. if it snows, it will be so cold walking between classes. i like it this way. don’t snow til school’s over =)
i got my work schedule for winter break yesterday. i calculated I will make nearly $600 before my trip to florida. that’s good =) at least i can purchase the tickets for both andy and me and allow some more spending over there. we decided to ride greyhound, it’s still the cheapest way of travel out there. i’ve ridden couple times before. it’s very uncomfortable but hey with the money it’s saving, it’s worth it.
i’m babbling. i feel i haven’t done such long babble for a while. 🙂

heyy dodo. I’m sorry about all the negitive energy towards dnw. =( It’s a shame. It’s so obvious that you put a lot of work and effort into it. It’s sad that people can be so immature. I’ve read your guestbook, and it’s so silly how people can act. Yes, there’s open opinon, but what about respect? respect that you desurve for all your hard work, and effort. But oh well, i hope whatever you do, will turn out just as great as dnw is =)
and happy about the news about you changing your surver =)
hi alice, it’s very kind of you to care about my feelings and take the time console me. thanks! i already feel better now. like i said, i just need a break from dnw and i will figure out what to do with it when winter break starts. =)
Sis, I was surprised you close DNW. I didn’t think something like that would make you actually close it. That site was something I deeply admired. I remembered when DNW was your main site… and how you had all your personal things plus tutorials on it. I remembered how it all started, and how it grew, and it’s just sad to see it closed.
One thing I admired about you was how easy and simple you made web designing look to your younger viewers. Do you know many young people you helped inspire? When I first started web designing, I wish your site existed. I remember reading web design sites where codes were complex, and they didn’t do too much explaining of anything. But in your site… you went step by step, and even made layouts there were both fun and appealing to your younger viewers.
Sis, maybe you’re growing out of dnw and need an older audience. You do have many advance skills that may be more useful to older viewers. I’ll be awaiting for your next tutorial site. 🙂 Good luck sis.
dnw has so much sentimental value for me. this is not the first time i’m thinking about closing it. and every time i struggle with it. i dont know why >< it's like seeing an old friend go. but i'm sure i don't want extra stress from it. so i was thinking of closing the help forum on the site. if i decide to put it up at regretless, it will be a lot of work too
Well there you go. DNW means a lot to me too… I think closing the help forum is a good idea though… either the site is going to help you or it’s not. You don’t need to stress over helping everyone who visits. I think the site is mostly self-explanatory. And if anyone does need more help, there’s always your board to turn to. 🙂
well whatever you do, do dodo, you know there will always be people out there who support you =)
btw, hehe your layout is cute! i would have thought a splash of red and green for xmas, but your layout is very cute =)
ah it’s only now that i can comment…anyway, i agree you don’t need anymore stress …just do something because you want to and enjoy doing it. that’ll pull you through any annoying stuff.
I can’t believe the way people have treated you online. I really appreaciate DNW. It has helped me learn of confusing html stuff (i.e. div layers) You have amazing talents and I am grateful for them. Don’t let other folks get you down. BTW, What is up DMB? It says I’m banned again. What Did I do? *confused* I hope I don’t make you mad!
Dodo, maybe this will put a smile on your face:
My 9-year old sister went to DNW, read the mean guestbook entries, and came into my room and told me, “Christina, I am maturer (she meant more mature) than the big kids.” She had this really serious look on her face too. It was very cute. 🙂
