Ah, love springs eternal. Or is that hope? Hope for love? In any case, my subway platform lovers are reunited (or perhaps I was just on-time today). Today, though, they came up for air, and actually were talking to each other, though still embraced. I think I'm going to put up a sign for them after all.

It's official. My new domain is registered and set up. There's nothing on the server yet. At first, I thought it would be trivial for someone to locate the domain, but because of the new way WHOIS works, it would actually be kind of tricky. Bonus points to the person who finds the new domain, offer void to the couple of people I already told the domain too. So what's going to go there? A new business, of course! One that may get me out of my current day job, no less. That's the goal. And, I'm not doing the venture alone, either. I have a partner in crime, who brings many talents I lack to the table. Between the two of us, I think we're going to have some fun, and both get to do something we're interested in. Mind you, it's not going to be a site for everyone... Hopefully it'll get me a little closer to SACWAG (start a company, write a game, for those not in the know.)

With this domain, I'm now webmaster for 7 domains, with over 1,000 hits a day. This really blows my mind. It's amazing how you take one tiny step, each day, and suddenly you look up, and you've travelled this huge distance. I got into this whole web nonsense somewhat accidentally. I suppose I can thank Clan Lord for giving me the reason to actually do something on the web. And, once you get started, it's a simple matter to do something else. A new motto for Clan Lord: "Play Clan Lord, lose a signficant other, gain a web site." I like it.

I dusted off the Teller-bot code last night, and damn it, I couldn't remember a thing. I did some neat, very OOP / multi-threaded stuff, and it's a little non-obvious how it all works. So I vow to sit and code for at least an hour a day, every night. I really want to get aspects of Teller operational. I need to get a Teller info page up, I'm tired of a few people thinking Teller is an effort to scam people. Then I can set Teller's /INFO to point to that page, and I can stop trying to explain what I'm doing. I also got a good PHP4 book, which will help with the clanlord.net site (as well as the new venture). When my hosting company upgrades to PHP4 in a few days, I'll be ready to script away.

I did go to the gym last night, too, for those keeping score. I can feel the muscles growing as I type. Or at least I think I do.
