Blog back Online!

I’m happy to report that the Blog is finally back online! So what happened you may ask? For starters, I have been blogging for over 5 years and been with my current host for over 3. I noticed that I was being charged more than advertised. I contacted support and they claimed that I am using an old version of the hosting plan and need to cancel then upgrade which is very strange as I was a) never contacted about this issue and b) should have been upgraded automatically.

Never the less, I backed up my blog and cancelled my plan along with my site. After a few days, I installed a fresh blog. When restoring however I could not get the images up. Every other thing went fine. So I contacted the customer support again and they claimed that I need to upgrade my plan in order to gain the extra resources need to properly restore. Keep in mind that the files I’m trying to restore are less than 500 MB. Since I already have the backup files,

I decided to do what any normal human would; restore the files manually myself. So I did. I uploaded the missing folders and I’m back in business. The experience was not exactly pleasant but I learned a few things. One of them being that the doing things yourself is the way to go unless you are willing to pay an insane amount for simple tasks.

I’m planning to add a few small features and updates in the future including a new header maybe even upload exclusive videos but for the time being, I’m happy to be back and will start blogging again soon as I have a few retro pickups I would like to post. Don’t forget to check out my YouTube channel for more content. Feels good to be back.

Why I still Blog


I started blogging around 4 years back. I mostly shared my gaming experience and opinion as well as Gamming news. I then branched to include some aspects of my life and the things I found interesting. 

To this day, my main blog remains mostly about tech and Gamming. I started a second blog dedicated to life events and everything else using the new Ghost blogging platform that made everything look good out of the box. 

Maintaining your own WordPress storage while highly customizable and future proof also had its drawbacks. Manually updating and configuring everything can be time-consuming. You also share most of the responsibility of backing up your installation. Yes, some web hosts do help but mostly you’re on your own.

Despite the above, I still love blogging and will continue to share what’s on my mind. Creating content was always my passion be it writing, photo sharing our video making. Reading your old posts is as exciting as writing them in the first place. Looking at your own creation knowing that you made something is one of the best feelings ever. 

Sure I consume allot of content but I also try to produce as much as I could. Of course, we all have our unique life’s and situations which can sometimes be destructive preventing us from sharing that post idea that just appeared out of nowhere, but content creation is a habit just like any other. If you love it, you will find the time to do it. 

One of the benefits of living in the digital age is that everyone carries a content creating device in one form outer another. From mobile phones to laptops. I’m writing this from my iPhone as I lay down in a small apartment in Ukraine while on vacation visiting my grandparents.

I tend to keep my posts short and to the point giving each post personal feel as opposed to big corporate blogs. My goal is to blog more in the future and overall increase the frequency of new content. I will continue to cross-post to social media such as Tumblr and Medium making my content accessible to everyone.

Happy content creation to all.

My latest developments

latest

Hey guys, how you all been? First, I apologize for not blogging for some time but I was doing allot of activities. I completed the third book of Harry Potter, progressed in Resident Evil Zero in order to write a guide for GameFAQs, bought a new GPU but most importantly worked on my YouTube channel. I’m happy to report that the channel is no longer in Beta. I managed to iron out the mistakes I used to do, updated my channel art and set a standard style for all my upcoming content.

Adam3k3_Banner3Running a YouTube channel is not easy, at least when you’re taking it seriously. However, this blog will remain alive and active as well as my personal non-gaming one. For the most part, I will post content best suited to a blog as well as more details or information about a topic I may have covered on my YouTube channel.

I will resume writing game guides for GameFAQs.com soon so that’s not going anywhere as well. I spent the last few months updating my old FAQs with more detailed information and fixing the spelling/grammar mistakes. There are many more games I would like to write for so expect more content in the near future.

My personal non-gaming blog will receive content as well. Mostly personal stories, experience or tech. The reason I created that blog was mostly due to the Ghost blogging system that I wanted to try and I must say I love it. Simple and looks great out of the box.

Keep an eye on my social media mostly twitter as I am active the most on, followed by Google+. My Facebook is sort of like a collection log for all my content but unless someone message me, I’m not that active on it. You can request specific content by messaging or twitting me directly. Note that my twitter feed is shown on the right side of this website.

I’m fully intending to mix both my YouTube and this blog’s content together and make this website a central hub for all my work. If anything is happening, you will hear about it here or on Twitter. Writing was and still is a big part of me and I’m not intending of letting go.

Thank you very much for your support and I hope I will continue to provide helpful and entertaining content for you to enjoy.

So whats happening?

I apologies for not blogging much during the last two weeks. I had a few things going like finishing Resident Evil 6 and starting 4 on the Xbox 360, sorting my eBay purchases which are yet to arrive and some other things.

I was planing to get a PS4 and later Xbox One but decided to give it more time since no big games are coming out that are not available on the PC. I will be placing an Evil Within preorder on my Xbox 360 until I decide what to do next.

I have also placed an order for a replacement CPU for my brothers old rig which is yet to arrive.

 

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
AMD Athlon 64 3200+

Other than that, Crash Team racing also arrived which I think is the best vs racing game on any system including Mario Cart.

Im still searching eBay components for my new Rig but may grab a rare Saturn game or two in the process. So how is everyone? Keep Gaming and have fun.

Blog comments update

Dear friends, this is to update you that I am currently facing an issue with the theme as reader comments are not showing directly on the blog. I still see and reply to them via the blog admin interface but for some strange reason they do not show on the public blog. I am currently looking into this.

In the meantime, thank you very much for reading and I hope you will continue to enjoy my blog for many years to come. Keep the comments coming as once I figure out the problem everything will show normally.

Thank you again.
