My next upgrade will hopefully be a 500GB hard drive. I can resort to transferring things over to the HDD instead of abusing the optical drive. I paid around $70ish shipped for the drive. I think it’s worth it. I could have bought a new XBox and modded that but the newer versions are tad bit more complicated than the older models that were made prior to February or March of 04 I believe.

Ever since the site went down I’ve been trying to figure things out for the future of running all of these websites. I almost came close to just closing the book on it all. In the end, I’m going to stick with my current host, www.dathorn.com. I have to recommend this company. It’s run by Andrew and damnit, he’s a very good guy. You may or may not have heard stories about him being rude or his service not being up to par but let me tell you first and foremost, this guy is from America and he knows what the hell he is doing. Secondly, he has a support team from the USA and it isn’t outsourced like a lot of others. When I have a problem, Andrew will try his hardest to see if he can fix it. Even if the problem is a stupid trivial one like I had today in regards to the WordPress theme-editor list of files not appearing properly, he took some time out of his busy day to actually look into the code for me and see if he could help me. I kinda feel bad that I was almost ready to switch to another host. I guess the saying, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side holds true in a situation like this. Also, you don’t know what you got until it’s gone. Now that may sound stupid but it’s true for my scenario. I almost left a damn good company for a shitty one just because of a minor little issue.
Hopefully tomorrow everything will be back to normal and back to business. I have a bunch of fixes that I’m working on right now and those will be updated to the site shortly. Until then, thanks for listening to my rant.
If you encounter the error code 0×8007005 via Windows Update then you have some issues with your system’s registry. I ran into this error code today. I scoured the net and started thinking it had to do with the Senslogn registry key. I was wrong. I searched a little more and finally figured it out. There are a bunch of posts in Google Groups but no actual fix.
Here is the low down. Somehow, some way, your registry permission on the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key becomes corrupted and or removed. If you go to regedit, then right click on the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key and then go to permissions (this is if you are running Windows XP Home, MCE or Pro). Right away you should see a box like this. However, as with my picture linked here, you will probably only have the name “Everyone” located in there. That is causing your 0×80070005 error. You need to remove the Everyone user. Now one by one, while copying the exact same user names and permissions as the one pictured here, do it step by step. After you’re through, close that out and reboot your machine. You should now be able to use Windows Update. Hope this helps.
If any of you can help me figure out what I’m doing wrong or what I did to change the apperance, please contact me through the comments system. I will pay you $20.00 USD Paypal for your help IF you can get my theme-editor to sort properly without adding any additional code to the template. I know it has to be a setting or something because I had never touched the code prior to having to reinstall everything again.
The site may be down again in the near distant future. I’m having problems with the new server I was moved to. I’m going to change hosts probably by the end of today. If the site is offline, then you’ll know what happend.
