Guam in the Distance…

I cleaned up the member database because it was growing real huge and mostly with one-time login users who never came back, and some who haven’t been on the site for a long time. If you got deleted and want to get back in, just register again.

94.142.134.238 is from Latvia(LV) in region Eastern Europe

So WTF Eastern Europe, someone has been trying to login as admin on here. Don’t you have anything better to do than mess with a personal blog site??? Step off already!!!!!

Resource usage has gone down and stabilized since I got ride of some other “web junk” leftovers in my hosted account. We’ll see what my next month’s billing looks like. I don’t really want to take this blog homefront down unless I have to since I’d then have to install some other kind of login system… so that the music library isn’t open to the web without any sort of check-in.

If anybody out there in the vastness of the web even gives a rat’s holler, I’m going to take down this blog. Seems ever since I dropped the now long gone www.13n144e.com PhP-Fusion site and installed/brought up this WordPress system, I’ve been getting a lot of “site unreachable” notices from a web site monitor I use to check on this and a couple of other personally run sites..

I believe it’s because WordPress is a resource hog when it comes to running it on a web server, much less a shared hosting plan server. I then upgraded to a VPS account so I could have dedicated resources, but now I pay for what I use and holy crap I ain’t gonna pay every month for what I’ve seen ever since I went to VPS hosting!!!

Let me be clear (oh yeah a patented Obama phrase!!) that it’s not just this one installation of WordPress that’s doing it. I’m running multiple installations for several different interests, with a database for each on the backend of them, all on one account.

I’m probably going to sign up for a wordpress.com account and export this site to the other.. and live with whatever features I lose in going to a free service. Oh well…

At any rate, let’s see if I can move everything transparently. If not, you’ll know why if you come here and the site is down.

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting and I have no idea what I’m doing so I don’t mess anything up. I’m not Chamorro and I’ve never been to Guam, though I would absolutely love to. I find myself extremely drawn to Guam and I admire the culture greatly. I stumbled upon this site and registered and I was hoping some of you lovely folks might be able to help me answer a couple questions.

First, I was looking through the “Music Library” and I saw “Perry Borja” now since I’m not thoroughly informed about Chamorro names I don’t know if “Borja” is a very popular last name, so I was hoping someone could tell me if the Perry Borja listed in the music library is the one that produces music in Korea ( http://www.perry.co.kr/ ) or if it’s another Perry Borja who makes music.

Second, being someone so fond of the culture I was wondering if there’s anywhere I could go to learn how to speak Chamorro. I know that the language isn’t well known, so it’s not something offered in college classes or from local translators, so do any of you know where I could find a teacher/translator to help me learn the language?

Thank you in advanced, and I hope you all had wonderful holidays and a great new year~!
