"Flee, oh for god’s sake flee!" she shouted, the milk everywhere, dripping down the tablecloth. The children bolted; the flies screamed; the dog shouted, and the cat cried. When everyone was gone, only the sound of scampering feet – and buzzing wings – fading, she sat down right in the puddle of it all, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed, tears streaming down her face.

Today is pretty intense. There are a couple of big posts I’m working up, for my Harry Potter geek side, and in addition with some other things I’m trying to finish up offline, the next day or two may be light on the blogging side. Will update and post as I can.

The hail came down pebbles and marbles. He opened the curtains and marveled at the way it bounced off the car roofs and asphalt. The crashing drowned out the stereo. The crashing grew to its own thunder — and then, suddenly, sun and silence.

Recently I got some hosting space with GoDaddy. I’m planning to use it to play around with WordPress, and experiment with some other site ideas.

So far I’ve actually gotten a chance to do that with a friend’s site. Granted, I’ve mostly broken it — but so far I’ve also managed to fix it, barring waiting for some DNS stuff to resolve to see what else is left to do.

Now it’s time for me start breaking my own stuff. So I’m going to be setting up a WordPress blog in my GoDaddy hosting space. I’ve never done this before. I know it’s supposed to be easy, which is why I’m a bit apprehensive. It’s the simple, easy stuff that usually knocks me in the bollocks.

Wish me luck. Or give me tips. Here’s what I’m hoping to accomplish:

1. Set up domain1.com as the primary name for the hosting space.
2. Set up domain2.com as a WordPress blog, inside of domain1.com
3. Successfully install and configure WordPress
4. Setup domain2.com so you can type it in and everything stays as domain2.com, even though it is on domain1.com

Amazing how difficult this seems to be. For me, anyway. Any advice is much appreciated.

The Flash was always his favorite hero. Fast, sleek, and just a bit of a smart-ass – a red blur just before the stars and knockout-black of the evil of the world. He opened another comic. He grinned. He dreamed, fast and happy of the wind not even ruffling his hair, but struggling to catch up. He looked up at the moon, and wondered if it just took running fast enough to turn air into a staircase — An unheld comic fluttered to the ground in a puff of displaced air.

It’s rare that someone asking for your SSN really truly needs it. Here’s what to do — because hey, you hardly ever have to give that sucker out:

Granted I have the home-building ability of a camera case, but still, I’m glad that more and more books are coming out about green building techniques. A lot of these methods are just good sense, not just good for the environment, and I’m all for good sense:

Link: Treehugger: Building Green: A Complete How-To Guide.

"the first step-by-step green building guide that I’ve seen. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs showing each step of the building process. The authors, Clarke Snell and Tim Callahan, explain techniques like Earth Plastering, Straw Bale Construction, Living Roofs, Cordwood Building and Cob Building. At over 600 pages this is a hefty book and highly useful for anyone wanting to see the nitty-gritty details of green building"

The appeal was in the brown eyes, dark like trees or earth, dark chocolate or darker beer. She’d seen eyes like that once before, down some late-night dream that had left her so hot she couldn’t even remember what she had been blushing about. There was only one thing to do, when you saw a dream like that, only come alive. She walked over, breathing hard and then barely breathing, and sat down at his table. "Hi."

There was so much to learn, so much to try to know, and no way at all ever to take it all in. She sat down, shaking her head and dropped the book. Too much world, too much thought, too much imagination – she could never have it at all. She looked at the book. "But this is a good start," she thought – and she picked the book back up.
