This morning’s flight was odd…

There were a few business travelers, but most everyone else was either employed / contractor for NBC sports, or disappointed Canadians.

When they made the pre-boarding announcement, they said “… and to our disappointed Canadian passengers, we are sorry, but someone had to win. Actually, we are not really sorry.”

Go Canes!

Gakked from the entire known universe…

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me — it can only be one word long.
Then copy and paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

So, I have a domain name, I have lots of disk space and bandwidth, but I am not really using it. I mean I have a web site but its well just kind of there. And my host has all sorts opf one click install stuff of whiich I actively use Gallery.

But really, I am not doing much of anything with the space or the tools.

So, I was thinking, and decided that maybe I would play with Media Wiki. But a Wiki without a point is, well, pointless.

Then I got to thinking. I am a pretty good autocrat, or at least so I am told. So why not create an autocrat’s Wiki. Its very basic for right now, as I am still putting in information. I also hope that I can get others I know to have mad autocrat skills to contribute. [Are you reading this , , , , , , , Tarafon, Ceridwen, etc.)

I figure first step is to get the basics in there and keep growing it. Eventually add a forum where autocrats could raise issues and get help on their event. Perhaps even eventuaklly expand it to include other event areas such as troll and feast.

Anyway, this is just something I have started and I am playing with and I will see if it goes anywhere.

What do you all think?

Oh yeah, any one want to try and come up with a logo / device / badge for autocrats? I suppose I could use the badge for the Award of the Herring but I dont want to tie this to Atlantia.
