I'm in like flinn!!!!

Yeppers....that's right!!!! I AM IN!!! I can access the fiskateers msg board!!!!

2 of the fab 5 visited me...telling me not to give up...this morning...I went back and tried again...denied :( but thought...whatever, I am just going to keep putting in my password cause I KNOW it is right...and POOF!!! It worked! It had the msg at the top of the page telling me something was invalid but when I hit enter, it worked! So, if you are still having problems, you just need to login to the same page over!

I am so happy! I feel like me again! :) Hehe

DENIED!!!!

Do you miss me?! I sure miss you!

I cannot login to the Fiskateers website. It is so sad. I can read the messages, but not post. I reset my password, but it just doesn't work for me. It is really depressing to read everything and not be able to participate! I feel like I am on a gag order!!! lol I have no choice but to hold my tongue...and post here, but it is just not the same (sorry readers...but if you are part of the Fiskateers I am sure you could understand my pain of not being able to join in!!!!)

Forgive me while I got techie for a moment:
I read a thread there about "complaints" on the new board...I was sad to read complaints...I am no programmer, but I have set up message boards before...using Open Source software (all hail to open source!!!!)...but I did not pass my second level PHP programming class...bad bad me (I did pass the ASP portion tho!!!). I tried, but it was not something I should have attempted online (and in my defense, I did not have a very good teacher for when I asked a question, I got a reply of "read ch X" no matter what the question, the answer was pathetic....and never helpful! I want to do that class again, but won't do it at that school, or until they get a better teacher.) I don't care for the set up of the new message board, but their were/are great intentions behind it. Change can be difficult when people have become accustomed to something. I don't know that there is the "perfect" message board out there already...all of them would need a little tweaking to suit the Fiskateers...but I believe things will get straightened out with V 2.0 and all will be happy once more...I just uh, hope its soon! I am jonesin'! ;)

Well, I am off to attempt something productive since I cant be a fiskafreak...maybe someone is trying to tell me something :(

Fiskateers 2.0

The Fiskateers message board is down!!! :( Guess now I will have to craft to get my Fisk-a-fix!!! BUT...they have plans to reveal the new Fiskateers board next week...when the new leads (and 1 returning) take over...July 1st cannot come quick enough!!! :) And...they whole shebang will take the week because they are integrating the previous website/board/gallery into the new one, which, although I have a degree in New Media Arts goes so far beyond my "education" into the realm of the technical that I so desire to know (and hopefully one day will, if I can ever take classes on campus!) Kudos to you Fiskatechs! Can't wait to see what you have created for us Fiskafreaks and Fiskanerds! :D

Wanna know a secret? I applied for a lead Fiskateer position. I haven't said anything about it before (when the process was happening) because I didn't want to get my hopes up...but the day I got an email from Carrie from Brains on Fire telling me that I had made it to the final few and they wanted a phone interview...I cannot tell you how elated I was! I am still pretty impressed with myself about it, especially since I have been "officially" scrapbooking for less than a year...but immersed in the whole craft world all my life! Alas, I did not make the official final cut...but the 5 who did are impressive ladies! (and since the term is 2 years, I am hopefully for 2010! :))

And speaking of Brains on Fire...if you have never visited their website/blog, do so now! It's fun....it's inspirational! If I lived in SC, I would be banging on their door for a job...correction, for a new way of life!

And on that thought...I am going to make a bagel for the 9 year old...
BBL!
