     installed 'coupons' link on the front page, and just wrote this. then i set about getting 'server-side' includes to work. that meant directory permissions, making the file executable. as luck, would have it, i discovered, "01-21-2009" the wrong date when last-modified date generated, correctly noting the day as 22. anyway.

     "The Heights at Burien" just informed us, we'd have to vacate the premises by the 28th of February. and, we had a 12 month least, that ended up being truncated at 6 months. seems, the renovation demands this building be empty. all in all, a shitty place to live, so, leaving a good, though, inconvenient thing. have no idea where we're going to end up. so, burien-online may not survive the move.

     cough, cough. two moves, a couple routers, and what will end up being three ISP's, later. this is a linux system, and the move demanded that a new modem supporting pppoe (point-to-poine over ethernet) be used. building the softwar fairly straight forward. compile, and install. not a one shot deal, but not worth a remarkable memory.
 
     an interface, is going to be a NIC (Network Interface Card). before the move, the internet facing card was 'eth0' with a specific address. in addition, the same card handled viritual labels eth0:0, eth0:1, and so on. all, with specific addresses. one for 'aniota.com', and the other 'burien-online.com'.
 
     with pppoe, the interface name became 'ppp0'. it took me forever, to figure out i could assign addresses to ppp0:0, ppp0:1. it is perhaps just me, but finding a PPPoE how-to that addressed a block of static ips, eluded me. boo-hiss.
 
     i've given considerable thought to what i want to do, and how i want to do it. foremost, is security. specifically, no drive-by downloads, compromised pdf files, or 'iframe' enabled pages. want to keep it crisp, fast, and HTML 3.2. i've set up ssi (server side includes), and am confident there'll be peripheral code to write, test, and run.
