Thank you!

Please Redirect Your Feeds

Hi! It has come to my attention that some people think I have disappeared. Oh no! I just moved my site to another host. If you get Miss Cellania through Feedburner or some other RSS feed, you may have to update your subscription in order to get the daily posts from the new site.

A reader wrote and told me what she had to do: unsubscribe from Miss Cellania, then resubscribe again, and the new posts all magically appeared for her.

Also, if you've been coming here through a link from another website, they may have the wrong link. The blog is now at http://misscellania.blogspot.com/ but you can still get there by going to http://www.misscellania.com/  Yeah, I know there are a few blogs linked to me that use a completely different address that no longer works, so you may want to tell them about it.

And I am still looking for someone who edits Wikipedia, to get them to update a link before this site goes completely down in another month or so.

Thanks!

The Move has been Made

Hi! If you are here, it's because you are using the URL http://misscellania.squarespace.com/  However, there is no new content here. You will find some interesting things, but if you are looking for something new, you'll need to come to http://www.misscellania.com/  or if that doesn't work for you, try http://misscellania.blogspot.com/ I have moved my operations there, to the former Miss C Recommends site, and am in the process of getting my domain to aim to the new content (but that takes some time and experimenting).

Thanks to the folks at Squarespace for hosting this site for the past six years. They have a great service; it's just a little too pricy for me now.

Update on Blog Changes

Sometime tomorrow, I'm going to redirect the domain misscellania.com to my Blogger site, the former Miss C Recommends. If you are coming to this site by using the URL misscellania.squarespace.com/ then you will see no new content after Saturday, so you should begin using http://www.misscellania.com/

I experimented and found that there is no simple way to move my archives from Squarespace to Blogger. The export file produced by Squarespace only works with a "Typepad type" "Moveable Type" host, and Blogger will only import a "Blogger type" file. Sigh. That means I will have to move each post individually, and worst of all, I will lose all my old reader comments. So I will be doing that gradually over the next few months.

I have two months before my Squarespace bill is due. After that, any posts not moved over will have to be reconstructed from a file that I can barely read. But it will get done eventually.

Between now and then, you can view old posts at http://misscellania.squarespace.com/ and new material at http://www.misscellania.com/ okay?

I regret that other websites that have ever linked to any of my old posts will now have broken links. There's one place at Wikipedia that references one of my posts, so I'd like to find someone active at Wikipedia to update that when the time comes. And a lot of my internal reference links will be broken, but I will fix those gradually, or just delete them.

Thanks to everyone for bearing with me through this arduous project. I started this thinking I would save myself some time, but it may be some time before I can! Still, I'm saving money right off, so there's that.

The Letter

Dear _______,

I will seek and find you. I shall take you to bed and have my way with you.

I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan.

I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.

I will exhaust you till your relieved when I’m finished with you.

And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days.

Yours,

The Flu

GIRLFRIEND 1.0

Dear Technical Support,

18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNight Out 3.1, Rugby 4.5, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of GirlFriend proved no better.

I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually, I tried to run GirlFriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.

I eventually upgraded to Fiance 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0. While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSe*Plus and Cleanhouse2005.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Multi-Whinge. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab 93 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes. Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which can't be turned off.

Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2005, but there could be problems. A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2005, it tends to delete all of your assets before uninstalling itself.

Help requested please?
