Yes, it's true. I have been looking at Joomla, the new fork of Mambo. I am still not quite sure what happened and why the fork was necessary, but the Joomla boys seem to be the good ones, and a lot of activity has been pouring in their direction.
So far, there seems to be no real reason to change, other than the name. On the other hand, this new template I am using is really wonderful. Surely beats the mody_lightblue template I had been adapting and adopting.

It's a sad moment. After a long series of sad moments. The 2000th American soldier died in Iraq. Despite the fact that I am not a citizen (yet), I find that deeply saddening. I am just thinking of myself when I was a young and stupid kid, being in the military, and realizing that's probably who is in Iraq right now.
I remember us being trained in the Soviet Union being about to invade us. We knew that if that was going to happen, all of us would have been toast. And still we went on, happy to be around, happy to have friends - in uniform and without. We were silly, we were serious, but we always knew that it could hit us.
This is just for 2000 women and men in uniform that died in Iraq. I don't care if it's good or bad they were there. I don't care if George Bush was right or wrong. What I care is that 2000 people died in their prime - all innocent people that wanted no harm to anyone.
God bless their soul. Every single one of 2000.

A few days looking... And it looks scary, very scary. The rentals are diminishing in number by the day, and the closer we get to the end of the year, the worse it is going to be. Maybe I'll even have to move to a temporary shelter, and at this point even the cats are negotiable.
This is quite the tragedy for me. I should have reacted much sooner, in September, when the opportunities were still numerous. Or I should have waited until January, when the first people break their leases because they can't stand it here. (Why?)
I still stand by my original assessment, only that now Palo Alto is pretty much out of the question because there just isn't much going on. It would have been interesting, though!

I received an email, then a letter from Jim, my landlord here in the City. He says he needs to move back into his apartment and gave me a generous 55 days to find a new spot.
I would be totally demoralized if it weren't for the fact that I wanted this to happen. I wanted to move out, and he just kicked me in the butt.
Now, of course, the problem is where to move to...

Ninole over the weekend was wonderful. You'll find the pictures up tonight - for now a briefing:
- The lanai mauka is in place, beautiful as could be
- The lanai makai is rough, but should get done this week
- The subflooring is done
That's not much of a progress report, of course, but considering there were less than two full weeks of work on the house, it's at least progress!
