I need your help flist.

I've been trying since yesterday to log onto my Whitelies site, and in fact spent all last night searching through Google leads for suggestions. My log in details are fine, my FTP is working as I can upload to my other sites but when I try at Whitelies I keep getting this command. Host not found [Authoritative]. It's annoying me now, I've tried everything that's been suggested and now I'm hoping that someone who knows these things better than me has an idea.

Luckily I have webspace that comes with my ISP so I could upload my Honey story there but that's only a stop gap measure, as I need to get into Whitelies to change my index page.

Other than that things are fine, good even. The Honey story is done, uploaded and I'm feeling pretty good about it now. The Sentinel Secrets story is done, submitted and has just been posted. I managed to upload all the Sentinel Thursday challenges so now all I have to do is catch up on mail, tabbed stories and the flist and not look at Word again until I have to! I'm free! RL wise things are going good too, who knew, you stop eating crap and feel better. Though waking at 6 when I don't have to is just wrong. We're still eating good here, but poor James. He's going to slimming world and has only lost half a pound in two weeks. Why I don't know as he's sticking to what they say he should eat. He's getting pretty discouraged just now and I don't know what to suggest. Though I suspect it'll help to up the exercise thing. He has a desk based job so we've planned to get out this weekend and do something.

Best of all though, new Numb3rs! It's downloading as I type and I'm resisting the urge to sit and watch the status bar fill up because that's lame and I'll be here for ages. But Numb3rs! Don! Charlie! Theirloveissocesty! And now I think I'll go and have some breakfast or I will end up watching that status bar. *wills it to fill faster*

But first, that music meme which you'll be sick of I know but I want to play ;)

2. See who can guess which is your favourite song by each.

You're good!

Lets see, you got, 2,8,11,13,15,18,20.

Go you!

hooray! look at me go! whee!

Congrats on getting your Honey story done---I'm still wrestling with mine. :::smites it::: Smut. It's so fraztin' hard to write.

I shall continue to fight, and I shall emerge triumphant! :::strikes a noble pose:::

:::smites the story again, for good measure:::

Thank you!

I can honestly say that the Honey story taxed me to the limit, and if it wasn't for people who sat me down, told me the only thing to do was delete and practically re write the whole thing, it would have ended as the worst story ever.

You shall emerge triumphant! I have faith in you and will look forward to reading what you end up with.

the few songs I was going to answer. clumsygyrl already did. lol.

Well I'll think of you as guessing them right then *g*

Are you less frustrated now, honey?

nope. I'm seriously considering scrapping this story too.
:(

Gah, can I help any way?

I have to go help James get ready but I'll be around after that.

Can I email you what I have so far? Just email me your thoughts on it. I'll get it later when I wake up. I'm going to go to bed soonly.

Of course you can. Send away.

you are a doll.

the email is bouncing back at me. it's bounced twice so far, so I just put it in a special post just for you in my journal.

*hugs* Thanks for looking at it for me.

My mail's bouncing? Typical...sigh.

I'm reading yours story now, it's good, Raven.

Sometimes when my routing tables go bugfuck crazy, I get that error message. I can sometimes get around it by trying to connect to the server with the IP address, and not the domain name.

I'll try that, at this point I'll try anything.

Thank you.

Can you tell me what is this Honey challenge I keep hearing folks talk about? I'm so behind on fandom stuff. Eeep.

*waves*

It's the Matchbox 20 challenge run by Musicdiamond and Without_me. Submission date was yesterday so it should be going live soon. Info is here (http://www.whitelies.net/musicdiamond/nsync/challenge/honey/).

*waves at you*

How are you doing, sweetheart?

Oh thank you hon! New fic! I'm doing ok. How about you and the family?

*waves back to you*

(i'm not here, i'm going to bed! Really! lol)

(don't worry, i napped earlier, made some story progress, but STILL not finished. damn smut.)

3) Gah. Uhm. O Holy Night? damnit, lol
4) (Everybody) Backstreet's Back
9) Hmmm. All Day Long?
10) I'll know this one when I see it, lol

motherhell, i didn't turn the small off, lmao

Also, I forgot to first laugh at your small comment, then say, get to bed!

You got JC right and were close with the Backstreet one *g*

Backstreet - Larger than Life???

Also? SO glad to see that I wasn't the only one that included aha in their list. :-D Although I claimed Hunting High and Low as my fave song. :-D And Waiting for Her. :-D

You're close with Larger than Life ;)

I had to have some A-ha in there. It was hard what to chose though :)

Its gotta be you? Don't want you back? Wait, must be Don't Want You Back because hello! Pole sex! :-D

And yeah, no list is complete without aha. :-D Did yuo get everything right up through Lifelines?

These are all COMPLETE guesses *G*

(1)Savage Garden Affirmation
(3)Nsync Bye Bye Bye
(4)Backstreet Boys Everyone (Only guessing that because you said "Everybody" was close *G*)
(14)Good Charlotte Anthem
(17)Robbie Williams Rock DJ

But good guesses as you got one, Robbie is right :)

God I absolutely adore Rock DJ. Right down to my own Tiger undies. :-D

Well, I'm glad I wasn't a completely crap guesser, then!

I'll take a stab at this....

1. Crash and Burn
3. Jackson 5 Medley
4. Incomplete
10. Slipknot
12. Without you I'm nothing
14. The Young and the Hopeless
16. Filthy/Gorgeous
17. Let Me Entertain You
19. Blind. Or Freak on a Leash. *hmm* I'll go with my first choice - Blind.

You're right for 16, but no! So close for 19 ;)

Freak on a Leash, then. *hopes* ;-þ

You're cheating ;)

But yes!

In what way was I cheating? Because I read your comment and put two and two together? Or because I was only allowed to guess once? ;-þ

1. Moon and Back
3. This I Promise You
4. All I Have To Give

YAY!

You got Savage Garden.

Some uneducated guessing:

(1)Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back
(3)Nsync - Drive Myself Crazy
(4)Backstreet Boys - More Than That
(10)System of a Down - I like this one SoaD song myself and I would have suggested it but I can't remember the name ^^; .
(12)Placebo - Every You Every Me
(14)Good Charlotte - Lifestyle Of The Rich And Famous
(17)Robbie Williams - No Regrets
(19)Korn - Falling (I'm not even sure that's the name of the song I mean but I'm pretty sure it was something with F)

Heh, the guessing is fun even if I'm completely wrong :-) .

You got the Savage Garden one right!

Yay, at least one! :-)

I dunno, but at the place that hosts my website, I occasionally have problems with different stuff--not just "the whole thing goes down" (well, that happens sometimes, too), but the admin tool doesn't work, or I can't ftp even though everything else works.

If you've rebooted your PC and stopped and restarted your modem and router and none of that helps, I say put in a help ticket with your web host--they may have changed something or upgraded something that's causing your issue.

I hope you had fun with your Nanna!

(And I'm not even gonna try the song meme--crap, this week, I'm lucky I remember what my favorite song is! *grins*)

I finally managed to log on using the IP address, I tell you when it finally connected I felt like dancing around the room *g*

I did have fun, and just managed to get there in time.

Hm, difficult, difficult... Pretty much what

saba1789 said, guessing. Except for the NSync one, where I used logic. (I just hope it was the right logic.)

(3)Nsync - The Lion Sleeps Tonight
(6)Feeder - Seven Days In The Sun
(7)Muse - Absolution
(10)System of a Down - Aerials
(12)Placebo - Nancy Boy

Aerials! That's it - that's the SoaD song I meant as well! Heh.

You're unlucky with the Nsync one because The Lion Sleeps Tonight is a very close second.

You got 10 and 12 right though :)

Damn, I was sure that it had to be either that or Falling, because Chris sings them. Or at least there's supposed to be a version of Falling where Chris actually sings, apart from at that concert DVD (can't remember which one).

You got 10 and 12 right though

Yay! Nancy Boy is such a slash song, I just had to pick it.

NSync - Falling
Placebo - Ask for Answers
BSB - Quit Playing Games

You know, I was thinking about it and I'm not even *sure* what my favourite SG song is. I can't bring myself to choose. ROFL

}:)

Sorry, none right. But good guess for Falling :)

Oh man, it was so hard to pick one SG song. I love so many!
