I am so frustrated.  I have a handful of domains for which I’m responsible, several of which I designed using ColdFusion.  I also have some sites that use php.  Two days ago I began receiving error messages from the CF sites.  I ignored them at first, because my hosting service occasionally has troubles and resolves them in a few hours or so.   However, the error messages persisted, so I contacted technical support, only to be told that they couldn’t help me right away, but would submit a ticket on my behalf.  Nice.  Now that they’ve responded to the ticket, they tell me that they have removed CF from the server on which all of my sites reside.  Furthermore, they say that if I want to continue using CF, I will have to be moved to a new server that doesn’t support php.  Arrrrgggggghhhhhhh.  And if I give them the go-ahead to move to CF, it will take 24-48 hours.

Luckily I generated static html pages for emergency purposes, if and when CF has problems, but even so, users will not be getting fresh data until I resolve this.

Sometimes I regret that I have these domains to support.  If the servers and technology would just stay put, and if things would remain stable, I would have much less stress in my life.  Maybe I shouldn’t have ever designed anything with CF, but it’s such a programmer-friendly language, and it’s used extensively where I work.  Out in the real world, though, it’s a very expensive platform, so it’s hard to find good hosting options.

What to do, what to do.  And when am I supposed to find the time to fix whatever has to be fixed   I could reprogram the CF sites to be php sites, but that will take me a little while, since I am so much less proficient in programming php than I am in programming CF.  If I did that, though, it would be much easier for me to eventually unload the responsibility of these domains, since so many hosting services support php.  Sigh.  It bugs me that I have to do anything at all.  Argggggggghhhhhhhh.

I would so much rather blog about other life happenings, but the stress du jour is the woe of technology, and I simply must whinge to get it out of my system.  Arggggghhhhhhhh.
