The rumors of my demise were only slightly exaggerated

Yeah, yeah. So I took a hiatus. To make a long, sordid story short I canceled my hosting account with my previous hosting provider because I kept getting my account suspended. When I did it I had every intention of just saying “screw it” and waving my private parts at all this blogging business. I got fed up with answering the same “why do I get this error with the spelling checker” questions daily. Keeping track of the latest phentermine spammers got boring. And I’m still nobody’s designer.

But, I’m back. Lots of stuff going on in the life — Julia’s growing, my father’s health sucks, my health has sucked but is getting better — and, frankly, this thing can be cathartic. So, I signed up for some more hosting and we’ll see how it goes. Cut me some slack while I try to get back in gear, m’kay?

    oh hurrah! I am so glad to see you back (um…although I found out over a month late, but still..) . I was all sorts of worried when your site didn’t exist any more… and then I got busy. But on a whim today I though, why not check out Coldforged’s blog and POOF! you’re back!

    On another note.. as you are obviously someone who enjoys the occasional video game… my hubby just got himself all employed with a company that PAYS him to play games all day. Let me tell you how happy he is. Bastard. :) Just thought I would share that with someone who might appreciate it.

    Darling, wonderful ColdForged. I’m doing my famous dance for you! I’m so thrilled you are back and doing better and communicating with us all with your brilliance and wit. Missed you!!!!!

    Welcome back, friend!

  • M says:

    Me: Coldforge fall off the net, there goes my plugin configuration Other person: something fishy is going on … Me: Doubt it! Other person: yes, yes it is probably the kiddy porn Me: I am going to tell him you said that, he will have you debugged sideways! Good to have you back up.

    Welcome back. I got a bit worried there for a bit, glad to see this instead of that accounst suspended crap. I always tried to get to the plugin troubleshooting to save you some stress. Since you have been down I have gotten atleast 2 emails a day asking for the image headline plugin. =P

  • Lee says:

    I got a little freaked out at your missing-ness. I’m glad you’re well… so happy you keep blogging about Julia (your Julia, not mine ;-) and all that jazz.

    What happened to Coldforged?

    http://www.coldforged.org is down. I hope he’s ok! I only know him from trolling his posts but he’s a good guy!
    I’m hoping the best for him!
    I’m guessing that he lives in a currently waterlogged portion of the US….. 
    Update 9...

    Welcome back! I missed your humor and wit, as well the wordpress goodies.

    I hope your health continues to improve, and that your father’s takes a turn for the better.

  • Jennifer says:

    Good to see you back! Blogging should be free therapy, you seem to have been paying to get even more frustrated :) But hey, look on the brightside, you are nearly single-handedly making the world a better place by sometimes giving us answers to our stupid questions, and msot of the time by telling us to bugger off and figure it out on our own, because hey, how else are we meant to learn? :)

    It probably doesn’t always seem like it, but you’ve got lots more people who depend on you being around than you think - and that’s power dude! :)

  • If Else says:

    Glad to have you back!!

  • DamonC says:

    Great to have you back — since this is my only link to you and yours.

    And I’ll have you know, I have no problims with the spell checker.

  • perlworld says:

    Welcome back, the account suspended page wasn’t a very good read :)

  • Shawn Grimes says:

    Great to see you back CF. Best wishes to you and your family buddy. Take care.

  • agnOstos says:

    About friggin time. I thought maybe you had given up on teh int@rweb since it’s so hard to figure out. LOL

    Sorry to hear about your dad. =(

    Glad to hear you’re feeling better. What happened? Cavity search gone wrong? /me snickers

    Cathartic huh? as you’re telling the guy that wasted the last two days at work getting an irc server running with services and making it newb proof. =P

  • Welcome back. It’s nice to be able to refer to a discussion thread about Headline Images. In the meantime, users have been helping one another. When the site goes live, I’ll point to it. It’s very elegant.

    Wench said: If it makes you feel any better, I figured out the spell check wrong-language “errors” on my own.

    You wouldn’t believe how much better :D.

  • skippy says:

    Glad to have you back, ColdForged!

  • Wench says:

    Glad to see you back.

    If it makes you feel any better, I figured out the spell check wrong-language “errors” on my own. ;)
