And we love you for it, lady. ;) We keep pulling in more and more people... and as my empire grows, so does yours.

mu. ha. ha.

we *will* conquer the world :)

the universe! at least the blogiverse, eh?

dan · 7 years ago

Poor universe...

At least you gave it a head start!

kd · 7 years ago

it was only fair ...

incedentally the domains are registered -- surreally.org and kurtwood.com, for when i set up a photolog for my talented little guy.

i mean, how can you *not* give your kid a domain of his own first name?

Linkmeister · 7 years ago

Um. Don't forget the dot name domain, and the dot US domain, too.

kd · 7 years ago

oh stop it. i was all into clicking those boxes, don't encourage my crazy ass. there's a dot ws domain available too.

ack.what a bad influence you are :)

Linkmeister · 7 years ago

What the hell is dot ws? Not that I'm encouraging you...:)

kd · 7 years ago

it's one of those countries that sells its country TLD as a major source of income. they market it as "dot web site" -- like dot tv (which is a teensy country called Tuvalu which, i think, domains are their major export).

i have to take this slow. right now my hosting bills are over a hundred bucks a month (and i do get this mostly back in donations), it's a community coming together so that each person can pay a small amount (currently, the plan is that i'll equalize it all at forty bucks a year per subdomain), and have fast, reliable (99.99% uptime is what we get, at this point), and roomy (60MB per subdomain, we share that, some use more, some less).

someday i may go for a virtual server. but that's still a little beyond me at this point. scary.

as a side note, the blogger pro service (a remotely hosted solution,and all that that entails) costs thirty five bucks a year, WITHOUT hosting.

maybe i should charge more? nah.

Linkmeister · 7 years ago

Phew. That's starting to be significant cash outflow. Commendations are indeed in order.

Naked Tiny · 7 years ago

Rock on, kd! Rock on, indeed! Woo! If I have cash on my card tomorrow after running errands, I'll drop some dough in your most worthy lap. Dude.

kd · 7 years ago

Dude. *nods head* anything is welcome, but it is generally handled. people are generous, life is good, blogging is life.

but i'm not obsessed or anything. perish the thought.

drublood · 7 years ago

Hey kd...expect some cash from me whenever I get paid for my training. i was thinking about it the whole time I was in class! Every time I surfed to your blog while I was supposed to be listening, I would think "Yay! I'm going to get to pay kd, and that makes me happy because she ROCKS."

hahahahaha.

And then the teacher would call on me, and I would make up some bullshit answer because I didn't hear the question.

kd · 7 years ago

*tsk* should be paying attention in class and not blogsurfing! naah, what am i saying.

but don't worry overmuch about the cost, i'm the queen of cashflow. and my bank just upped my overdraft protection, cause i haven't used it in two months! woohoo!

portia · 7 years ago

kd, you are completely and totally obsessed. :) and i like that.

stacey · 7 years ago

...looking forward to Kurtwood.com. The little guy takes cool pictures.

Re: minions (as referenced by Suzie)

If you search for minions, you get 146,000 possibilities.

May I suggest "subjects," since that's what empires have? :)

Suzie · 7 years ago

can i point out that being a part of you web involves the best tech support ever as well?

and, um, now that your empire is established, does it make me a minion or something?

Christine · 7 years ago

ROFL! Way to go KD! You rock. As always. But you knew that, right? :)

I too do things just like that for the selfish reasons. I can't stand waiting for blogspot to load, and I like to leave comments!
