FYI – I’ll be away from Monday morning to propably late Tuesday night (GMT+2 time zone). I’m also switching ISPs (yay! the uploading has been a pain in the ass the last 7 days – the connection likes to die several times an hour) and naturally the planned installation day (which I can’t choose) falls to when I’m not home to verify it immediately. According to them, it should happen all automatically without problems but based on past experience, I’m not counting on it.

So if I disappear for a while, it’s because they messed it all up and need to send people to un-mess it, and I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Life Is Shit = Possible Delays In Updating

Due to health stuff going on with my Mom, updates may be delayed and sporadic. More details here.

Life Is Shit = Possible Delays In Updates

Life is shit. Just when my own health problems are getting better and I can pretty much have a normal life now (yay!), my Mom gets sick: first PMR (Polymyalgia rheumatica) diagnosed in March, and this week the regularly made (every 1-2 years for her age group) mammography revelead breast cancer. The oncologist/surgeon’s consultation is on Friday and the preliminary date for the surgery is next week’s Wednesday.

Apprently it “isn’t the most aggressive form of breast cancer”, and as I understand, it was discovered early (I hope!!!), but still. Shit. Why are we having this streak of bad luck with health stuff? Mom hasn’t had any health problems for like 45 years, and I hadn’t had either until suddenly in 2008. And since then, nothing but??! Stupid life. At least Mom’s “boyfriend” (funny calling a 60+ year old man a boyfriend but they aren’t married so) isn’t having any new developments on health front *knock on wood*

This situation may delay website updates. We don’t know anything about what happens after the surgery yet, what treatments she’ll need to undergo – chemo I believe no matter what, but the others, no idea. Dad had to have the full range of the treatments for his cancer (brain cancer) and he still died four years after the first diagnosis despite two surgeries and all the cancer treatments. I’ve been doing research on breast cancer, and in Finland, 89% of patients are still alive five years later, and “most of them” are considered healed. So that gives hope, right?

Right now I’m not able to concentrate on website stuff much, don’t know what happens when we know more. So updates will happen when they happen.

Deleting Twitter Account

I’ve decided to close the Twitter account of this site. I’ve personally never really gotten into Twitter, and mainly started adding it to my sites because everyone else was doing it. But I don’t really see the point so…

Livejournal, Hiatus, Flu

It’s that time of year again – weather turns to spring and summer, and I whine about it. It’s been very springy the last two weeks or so, weather is almost hot in the sun but still cold in the shade, and I got the flu to prove it And as always in the spring and summer when the sun shines, the inside temperature of my appartment goes up unbearably – it’s already gone up to 27 degrees Celcius… I fucking HATE spring and summer.

Anyway, I I said I got the flu and that pushes my end of hiatus a bit – I had planned to officially come ouf of hiatus in the beginning of May, but now I’m officially pushing it at least mid-May. I’m not going to do anything except script updates (if there are any) until this stupid flu is completely over.

And the last bit of news… I renamed today my LJ account nekhbet_ariane to my original account name ariane179254 – after the first rush of excitment I never really liked the other name, and what I should’ve done when I quit LJ as personal site was delete all posts & everything on ariane179254 and just keep that name. I kept all the connections/posts/whatever between the new name and the old name, so the change should be seamless and nothing gets lost/deleted etc.

Stargate Atlantis Coming To Bluray!

Still on hiatus, but this is big news and means changes to my schedule for this site…

Looks like SGA will be released on Bluray after all! Just when I had buried the hope of it ever happening, along with the news last week that there will not be any SG-1, SGA or SGU movies.

http://www.gateworld.net/news/2011/04/stargate-atlantis-coming-to-blu-ray-in-july/

Although, I’m still feeling kind of “I’ll believe it when I see it…”

I think I’m halting my SGA capping/uploading – according to the write up, the Bluray will be released in July and that’s only couple of months away. I’ll be getting the set as soon as humanly possible, so I don’t want to waste time on recapping & reuploading the very same episodes soon again.

Guess I’ll be concentrating on SG-1 for a bit once my hiatus is over.

Hiatus

I’m going on a hiatus, for reasons detailed here, until the end of March the very least but possibly until end of April even. I’ll still do any script updates and attend any server problems etc. should any crop up so that the site may stay open and working. Should there be any huge news, I’ll post those too, but for all other updates the hiatus means that I update if I happen to feel like it at any given moment – which means updates might happen a lot, or not at all. It’ll entirely depend on my mood.
