Things

I am constantly amazed by the number of people who misspell definitely as definately.  I used to do it too, until I saw someone who’d written it with an I instead of an A, and I looked it up because I thought they’d spelled it wrong.  But it’s seriously an epidemic; almost everyone I’ve ever seen type that word has typed it with an A.  I wonder where we all got it from.

I’m moving my site to a new webhost (with 3 gigs of space and root access to the linux box that’ll host it (!!)), and as a result, my site may be intermittently available, not available at all, or available in two different versions, over the next week or so.  Such is the nature of DNS.

I’m also almost done writing a guide that shows you how to quickly set up your own webserver on your own computer to host photos (or whatever else you want), using the scripts that I’ve written over the past 2 years to power sites like my mom’s and my test site.  I’m pretty excited about this.  With a broadband internet connection, anyone can run their own website for free on their own system, so I’m hoping to help a few (or maybe a lot of) people do just that.  And since lots of people have digital cameras nowadays, I think it’d be really neat for lots of people to be able to easily share their photos, without having to upload them anywhere.  Plus, come on, my photo scripts are awesome... there’s a slideshow mode, and users can change to a framed mode if they like that better, and visitors can post comments on individual photos, and can post their own photos with their comments if you choose to enable that...
