A dream and Dreamhost

[avram]

Y’know what’s distracting? A dream about a sequel to Sky Captain featuring a love scene between Angelina Jolie and Aishwarya Rai, that’s damn distracting, pretty hard to wake up from.

And speaking of things that aren’t lingonberries, I’ve been thinking of starting up my old blog again. Well, more like starting up a new blog, making half-hearted plans to import my old content into it, and then not getting around to it. And more than thinking, I’ve been doing some set-up work, fiddling around with plug-ins and templates.

See, Dreamhost (where I’ve currently got all my domains hosted for only $10/month, and if you decide to sign up with them, be sure to tell them that “avram” referred you, and then I get money) offers one-click installation of WordPress. It actually turned out to be three- or four-click installation (hint: when they say they need a unique name for the database, they mean unique across all of Dreamhost), but still pretty simple. Now I’m cooking up my own theme, figuring out how the Ultimate Tag Warrior plug-in works, and downloading freeware fonts and playing around with color schemes.

I’m not sure why I’m actually doing this. I think it’s partly ’cause I’m just not satisfied keeping all of what I want to say on LJ. But mostly it’s just an impulse, and I’ve been learning to heed my impulses.

Oh, Dreamhost also offers one-click installation for MediaWiki. Anyone else have a hankering for a Lexicon game...?
