Kind of stressful day
Mar. 27th, 2008 11:26 pmI found out through talking with a friend that I had about 80,000 reviews at the Angst Archive Now I think the visitors of the Angst Archive are an active and supportive group of fans...but 80k kind of made me wonder. So after some investigating (and thank goodness for the top ten list) I found that one story had 32k reviews (all but 3 of them spam) Some other stories had 22k, 12, 1k, you get the picture...
It took me hours to delete all of the spam through phpmyadmin. (I didn't want to do the simple solution which would have been to delete the stories in question and re-add because I didn't want to lose the author's legit feedback or break up any links to the stories in question) So I got rid of the spam, however now it seems like I can't recalculate the Reviews so I spent some time on figuring out how I could accomplish it, came up with nothing so begged for help at the efiction forums.
Then I found out when I took my car in this week for an estimate the guy didn't actually give the estimate to my insurance so I have to go again tomorrow morning so I can contact the guy that ran me off the road and decide if he's paying for repairs or his insurance.
I exercised when I came home hoping that would help settle my nerves. But right now my stomach is unsettled and I think I've come to the conclusion I'm going to have to upgrade my Angst Archive and personal fiction site sometime soon. (haven't wanted to because I don't know how to modify my current skin for the new efiction)
I feel like I have a lot on my plate and right now all i'm looking forward to this weekend is going out to eat at this german restaurant on saturday. (and maybe seeing a movie "run fatboy run" (not sure about the title?)
I'm no where near done with either of my sweet charity vids, haven't started my spn_bigbang fic, and my graduate catagolgue still hasn't arrived in the mail. of those three things I feel worse about the first two.
