Check out Cool Tools: The 5 Year Journal for a journal that promotes seredipitous discovery and reflection. =) Maybe I should customize my website to display headlines from the last few years...

There was a big fire right next to our house. We all got out safely, including the pets.

Fire

In the meantime, check out Peppy's narrative at http://www.livejournal.com/users/ninjapeps/130624.html for pics.

I need to learn how to be the keeper of stories. My dad told me some interesting ones. Keywords:

Insightful

• Traffic's silver lining
• Insights into crowd management: shock, authority
• Insights into crisis management: people, pets, stuff
• Food better than cash
• Household help more worried about Mom
• Possible reasons why: if I can't have it, neither can't you

Funny

• Fireworks incongruity
• Ollie bath
• Camera and batteries
• Window, silicone, Swiss kife
• Household help packed clothes
• Drinks: Dr. Pepper, cranberry juice
• Cooking: mixing viands
• Second fire
• Arroz caldo: third helping
• Can you teach me photography? Not tonight!

Darn. Why are things getting double-escaped in my RSS feed?

Testing, testing.

The .ph domain will be a hassle to update (maybe we should just get that delegated?), but it might be worth switching to a new web host.

I need PHP, MySQL, mail hosting, FTP access, 1 GB storage, and ImageMagick support. We use less than 1 GB a month. I'd like shell access. Python and Perl support would be really fun. Ruby would make me thrilled. I plan to set up a tagged photoblog / photographers' portfolio.

We're currently paying ~ USD 8 / month. I'd prefer to keep money in the Philippines, and most of our traffic comes from the Philippines anyway. Know of any locally-hosted servers? If not, I'll probably go for http://www.site5.com/hosting/comparison.php .

My dad wants to be able to update the pictures on the Adphoto website easily. The iPhoto Flickr export plugin looks pretty nifty, and if I can make something similar, that would be ubercool.

Hmm. Must redesign site. Brochure-ware, perhaps also stock photography?
