This is the deal. I got my domain up and running and I have no ideas on what to do with it... Oh, I guess I have some ideas, but they are so incredibly huge and complex, that I don't know if I can pull them off. I don't have the software to do a lot of graphics, but then I don't like graphic-intensive sites anyway. Or bouncing heads, JAVA, animated GIF's, or any of that stuff. I just want to put up good stuff. Course, this could be the indicator that I really don't have a lot to say!
I got the
account so that I could put up our family Genealogical
records. The first file took up 5.5MB's and the other three files will take
up at least that much. So, 25-30 MB's or rental for $10 a month plus hosting
anything else I want, is pretty good. Actually, Simplenet offers Unlimited
storage and Unlimited downloads for $10 a month plus a $40 setup fee. Best
in the market. If you don't believe me, check out the ISP section in my
bookmarks files. Interspersed in there, you will find Virtual server and
hosting companies. Check their prices. Simplenet also offers Domain's for
$220 registration (takes care of the InterNIC and 2 years of fees) and hosting
for $25 dollars a month. It has gone up in the last three months, but that
is stil reasonable. Check 'em out... The more people we get on here the
better our chances of keeping the prices down.As far as the contemplative/prayer/spirituality 'zine, I have three writers confirmed and need to contact some others I have read in the past and see if they are interested. I'll even post their previously published stuff just to have some stuff to pout up. Desparate? Nah.... The 'zine name is the kicker as it helps to set the tone of the whole thing. What do you think of the names: Hermitage or Urban Hermit? Yeah right...given the response to other questions I have posed on these pages, I might as well be talking to myself...which of course I am. But then, it's my journal.
The weather is good today. Cool (55°) and the Cascades are out. Life is good. Talked to Loretta recently, and to another. But then, that ain't never gonna work out is it?
Still got stuff spread all over the floor of my apartment cause I don't know where to put it all. I need some rolling hanging things and another bookcase. Get those after I get the offer letter. Thinking about selling my Leo Fender Death Commemorative Guitar (never been used dude!). Have picked up on a Fender Tele Elite available for $599. However, it has been available for over 9 months at that price. I think I will offer less. Duh, yup, that's what I'm gonna do...
Been up and down I-5 three times this week. Shit! That's what the hell I moved to Everett for! So I wouldn't have to do that. The only problem is that everyone I know lives in the south sound. Crap! Got to go to Gig Harbor to do an install. Another all day job. At least I get dinner out of the bargain.
I wind up calling people I know at odd times or writing them email at four in the morning cause I am so freaking lonely. The broster says to move back to Chattanooga. I says there ain't no work there. He says you never looked real hard. Which is true. He says he ain't got no one to drink a coldbeer with. us, it was good to be around Dad and closer to Meg while there but #&^!(%^ it was hot down there! AND, I had the worst nasal/ear infection I have had in 25 years while I was there. It just ain't my place ya know! Moving back home really did clear up the infection.
Dave Matthew's band on the tuneage. It's the waiting. It gets to you sometimes. I COULD be in Vancouver right now. I might go up depending on what I hear from the personnel office. Stanley Park in the fall.... Ah man, ya gotta see it. The seawall walk and the harbor. Walked it in the rain with Jane one time. With a storm blowing in and us not really prepared for it. We got soaked but the drying off was a WHOLE lot of fun. Warm showers after a cold walk in the rain and gas heat. Can't be beat!
Maybe I will venture out later and get a triple shot Grande Mocha. And a Raspberry scone. How 'bout High Tea at The Empress! Victoria is also great this time of the year. Next year is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, held annually. You ain't seen nothing till you seen that I'm tellin you. Miles of tulips and the Cascades. And I moved away for three years? What the hell was I thinking about? Obviously I wasn't thinking... Where do you live?
I gottanidea about something to do/write about. Gotta go...
Be cool.
