I host a number of low traffic Drupal (drupal.org) websites. Several for a non-profit, a few consulting shops, a book & poetry site. Low traffic, but a couple sites use lots of drupal modules, so performance and resource limits can sometimes be issues.
OK, here's the story.
I've got my Google homepage setup to give me headlines from various sources. Anything really big will be on all of them. You know, I need to keep informed. So as I can hold an informed conversation down at the Wheelhouse Tavern. But from time to time there will be an oddball headline that just catches my attention.
Today's winner? This one: "Army looking at how fish oil might reduce suicides."
Mind you, I'm not all that interested in the story. I just want to parse the headline.
Money isn't real: it's just a mutual agreement to keep track of what we've promised to each other. Frequent Flyer Miles are even less real. But trading the two, until today, could get you travel around the world at no cost.
Here's how it works. Get one of those credit cards that gets you frequent flyer points for your purchse. Then, go to the US Mint and buy dollar coins, charged to your credit card. The Mint would ship you the coins for free. You deposit the coins in your bank, pay off your credit card, and pocket the Frequent Flyer points. Voila. Something fo nothing.
That's a headline today over at CBCnews today.
"Some 'green' detergents still contain chemicals"
One has to wonder what the other 'green' detergents are made of? Dark-green matter, perhaps.

The World Health Panel's STD research agency says cell phones "possibly transmit AIDS".
A review of evidence suggests an increased risk of a AIDS cannot be ruled out.
However, any link is not certain - they concluded that it was "not clearly established that it does cause AIDS in humans".
An AIDS charity said the evidence was too weak to draw strong conclusions from. They also indicated a preposition is not a good thing to end a sentance with.
The issue of Obama's eligibility to be US President is unlikely to end with the recent release of his long form birth certificate. Already suggestions of forgery abound on the net. Or a problem shift: doesn't matter where he was born because his dad wasn't American.
So, I thought, how would I prove that I am a 'natural born' citizen?
I'm Irish on me mother's side
And English on me father's
I wear the green one day a year
And repress meself the others
A Protestant was me Da
And divorced to boot was he
But once he deigned to marry Ma
No protest came from she
Yet childless were me parents now
For seven years they wondered
When they'd bring unto this world
Me sisters and me brother
When once they got the rhythm down
We came along like clockwork
Every other year we were
A blessing to our mother
