Nothing is for sure, yet - Cynthia will probably start within the next two weeks. I go to Spain next week, and I want to get my resume together this week. It will have a lot to say about the pretty substantial body of knowledge I have accumulated on energy issues, both from working closely with energy clients, and from being immersed in energy issues from birth.

I've had two people tell me that I was no more than a huge "online journaling fake," as the one person claimed. He said that no one person could have as much going on in their lives as I did at the time and that I should learn how to lie better. To be honest, it never bothered me. How could I take that person seriousy when I get e-mail from readers almost every single day telling me how much they love a quote I've put in the journal or a picture of my cat? I think a lot of times people are just jealous of someone's writing style or online website with writing so they choose to pick on it. But that's fine. I've learned to accept some of the negative comments about my journal and it has become a lot more fun for me since.

Allison, I check sitemeter at least nine times a day. Most of my referrals come from hateyourdaddy.com, too.

Al, I represented your self-deprecatingness on 3WA. You good! You good as any other of those damn journal people!

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

I definitely think Math is the cream of the crop as far as journals go.

We rule.

I guess I'll get sitemeter, as I cant' understand your-site.com's stats for shit. Al - do you just have it on your index page?

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

I do just have it on my index, because I don't know how else to do it. Does anyone know how to track the sub-pages?

If I can't get this FTP to work soon, I will cry. For real.

I might come in tomorrow night after Survivor, but the problem is someone will be sitting at my desk. So who knows. I am so, so ready to be rid of geocities, though...

Y'all say a little **prayer** that I can log on tonight so I can update. I'm mad that I couldn't put it up yesterday as the 20th is significant. I'll just backdate it, but still. Merr.

Mike, did you figure out how to FTP?

Al - in the counters thread, someone said you have to put it on every page you want it to track, so yeah. But then, what's that entry/exit page thing about?

I don't think I could stand it if the Bermanator cried...

AB, that was like my second post EVER on 3WA. And I have gotten three hits in the last half-hour just from having HYD in my profile. The 3WA people don't play.

You have to insert the code into each page you want tracked, Al. I just have it on my index and index2 pages. Is that what the rest of you have?

I figured putting it on all of them would be kind of repetitive, and also a lot of work.

H, but if you put it on every page, do you get a separate report for every page? We don't want that, do we?

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

No. Stupid FTP thing.

If I offer to bribe you and I come in tomorrow night, would you (or anyone) be willing to upload my front (just an entry, for now), bio, links and a dummy archives page for me, so at least there's something there? That's assuming I can't do it, of course.

Whoa. They don't play. I've gotten hits from the plagiarism thread, too.

**Prayers** for H and M, and a quick one to the Patron Saint of FTP.

Mike, what about that computer we were talking about the other night? How's that going?

I'll do it, Mike. You know I love being Head Dork.

Nedstat looks pretty good. Taht's the link to Meg's stats. It's breaks it down better than sitemeter I think.

Geocities just tracked every page and I got spoiled. It was cool because when someone linked to a specific entry, I could see that. Like, when I put my Vegas link in the forum, I got like 400 hits to that entry, when my average/entry is around 40.

Al - where did you post in 3WA?

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

I don't have FTP, Mike, or I would.

Johanna, I'm dying to see your update for the 20th. Could you email it to us?

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

If I can't update, I will tomorrow.

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

Yeah ... e-mail that entry!

AB- thanks! I'm working on it. I just have no idea what I want in a computer besides word processing and fast internet access.

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

I'm out. Please, please hope I can log on. Yikers.

Bermanator! You get clazy iBook like Al, AB and H! Then, we make T get one and we all match!

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

Hope! Log on! Hopey-hope-hope! Yes, H, e-mail if you can't.

Mike, you know I can help you with computer picking-out, too. Because that just elevates me in Head Dork status, which is what I strive for every day.

I have to go. For those of you keeping track of such Berman family gatherings, this is my grandparents' 55th (I think) anniversary, so we're doing dinner.

Hasta manana! I don't know how it can top today.

-- Anonymous, February 21, 2001

55 years. That's fantastic. Now I feel all warm and nice. Have fun, Mike.

Well, it will top today if boo responds to the email I just sent her asking where rudergirl's been... and says that she's fired.
