WebmasterWorld & Viking Cats


I never would have expected it. Never. WebmasterWorld site has been down for a couple days now....and on top of that it happened right at the beginning of a Google shuffle of search results indexing. For webby types, called SERPS. Anyway, The owner of WebmasterWorld managed to shuffle a bare framework of the WMW forums over to another site as best as possible till things can be repaired upline where the problem occured. He couldn't put a link or anything up--so it was interesting to see who found the alternate site and how quickly and so forth.

I think this is an example of a type of problem where the usefullness of blogs and engines that search and index blogs can be really the solution.

By searching, I found the temp. alternate site in no time from people discussing it in other forums and blogs.

Going to the alt. WMW site and finding it off the air was sorta like going to the class that was moved across the campus and no note was on the door but somehow the clever people were finding the class.

For anyone who is interested in reading how an important site like that made and run by the very people who tell others how to never get in a situation like this--go to the alt site http://www.searchengineworld.com

Now, this second or third day of being down, Brett was finally able to put a functional plain text page on the WMW site to link them to the alt site--but he also put a link to this clever little movie. Turn sound on !
Be sure to watch it to the end. Start the Movie
Have Fun. Lundy

Do You Know This Plant?

Image
I photographed this small weeping shrub in Pensacola in a front yard. The purple flowers and orange berries were present at the same time on this georgous plant. The same yard had some of the same species but with white flowers that were not nearly as vibrant. It looked great in spite of a very dry summer and it is planted close to salt water. I have been doing online searches trying to identify this plant to no avail. Click to see big photo

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Miller's Birthday Today

Image
Today would have been Miller's 26th B'Day. Here are some birthday photos from his 11th and his 15th birthday and a few others. In one he has on some of his Grandaddy's vintage Lily Pulitzer pants. In another he was so proud of the size of the catfish that he caught that he was holding the cat for size comparison. He only bleached his hair once. He walked into the room with the cat and put it on his head, but it didn't work out as planned and I always thought it was one of the funniest photos of him I ever took. Miller was the most brilliant, funny, charming, thoughtful, & loving person I have ever known. He was finishing up Grad School and had every pilot's certification possible for his age when he died. There is no telling what he would be doing today had he lived. We all miss him so.
