I got the chance to do a little extra work on the site this week, and now I have an email address reveal that appears on the ‘about’ page. The folks at Wordpress, and the open source superstars that cater to it, have really created a flexible platform that allows for very specialized presentations. Version 2.3 has been out for a month, and I think it’s a quantum leap in comparison to the 2.1.3 I first started with (all of five months ago, now).
I wish I could grasp a grain of what they talk about on Floss. I remember getting a C in ‘C’ in college, and that was pretty much the end of programming for me.
My super wife had the greatest comment about CSI:NY last night, which was heavily involved with Second Life. She said to me, “I’m glad your Second Life is in heaven with me.” I heartily agreed, and then we talked about our serious need for DSL. Yay!

It seems that I should put out some sort of concrete measurement of what I want to achieve with this site (I think Merlin would approve). So I’m going to throw some out there and see how the next year shapes up.
1) Have a site with values firmly ensconced with the values of Christ.
2) Have an income producing site to the point that it’s self maintaining.
3) Have a site that’s as amusing to me as it is to everybody else.
Now, as long as I continue to ask myself “am I meeting these goals?”, from time to time, we’ll be just fine. I did for a moment consider changing this to a tumblog (a la Leo Laporte), but it seems a bit too drive by for what I want to accomplish.
I do want to give a big thanks to Brian over at Randomthink. Brian’s put up with me for quite a few years and most recently helped me set up the whole database side of Wordpress. I didn’t even know what I was getting into, but I gave him a call and he came to the rescue. Please go see what he and his wife Lisa are up to.
And here’s duck number 2. I will be working on thumbnails and size over the next week. Should be fun!
