quacks are not my type

-

So I have a personal site (lllama.org) which I cannot access at work because it is uncategorized.  I did a little digging and I believe it is because a site's category is automatically calculated based upon the content of that site.

My site is a mish-mash of links, references, and other things.
The links aren't broken - but the content is fractured.

So my idea is to re-factor the home page to be ... well, categorized.

My site's home page will be about duck typing.

This is intentionally a pun on the coding concept of duck typing - but the content will not mirror the reality. Instead I will make a site dedicated to offering some sort of combination of ducks, typing devices, and the like.

Likely little outfits for pet ducks.
And maybe mouse-pads for ducks.
And keyboards designed around webbed hands.

Anyway, I put this here as a reminder of my goal.

So - unit test 1:
I'll be able to access the site at work and it render (right now, as mentioned above, I'm getting "uncategorized")

unit test 2:
someone emailing me about not being able to buy something from the site.
I have this theory that just about anything can be a niche.
And if this is precisely targeted, but filled with actual items, there will be people wanting to buy.

** which means I'll need to find a way to charge people, have a little billing infrastructure.  So maybe drop-shipping.

Anyway,

As Mary made her way along the path, the way grew a little wider; the subtle hint of the crashing waves behind her gave way to a sweet murmuring.  "The air seems cooler," Mary thought to herself, as the murmuring grew gently louder.  Moving along the path, Mary saw the walk bubbling up quietly from some unseen source; where the water flowed, along the path, the slope of the hill fell.  "Wow, natural spring water," Mary thought a she held her flask against the current.  The left and right side of the path were covered in a clear, clean stream, and the center of the path held rocks that continued the path, sloping upwards.  Having taken a few solid gulps and filling her flask, Mary hopped onto the first rock, being careful to land in the center. "How curious," considered Mary, as she looked at the stepping stone.  "It appears to be made of wood but decorated as if it were stone."  Looking forward, Mary noted the stones continued on their steady p...

[.: Brainstorm; random words :.] Gossamer dreams of ember days, ordinary ordinations gone ablaze, and time lost to sand and haze, has come to roost in deeper plays. "Why am I here," asked Mary, as she stood on the beach.  There had been a point where Mary was quite certain of what she had been doing.  She was sure of it.  "I don't recall how I arrived here," stated Mary to her shadow.  Standing on the beach, letting the wind draw attention to her feet, Mary glanced at the designs drawn by waves from unknown shores.  Small eddies revealed shells, filling the spaces between her toes, and slowly she walked; the waves crashed gently to her right as the soft sun hid behind clouds and cast a shadow several feet ahead. "Perhaps I shall run across someone whom I might recognize," said Mary, as she moved along the shore.  "At the very least, they might help me remember something."  As the beach slowly revealed a dune in the distance, the water ...

previous                                               Doctor Archibald McGuffin III spoke to his patient. "I'm sorry, Harry," said Dr. Archie, as he took the placed the stethoscope into his jacket pocket. A small popping sound heralded the absence of the scope. "What do you mean, Doc?" asked Archie. "I only came in here to ask about my sensitivity to moonlight." Pregnant pauses filled the air as Dr. Archie popped the floating pauses; the air cooled audibly. "I believe you may not have realized it, but you have it exactly backwards," said Dr. Archie. Turning toward the doctor, Harry said, "Um ... what?" Smiling, Dr. Archie picked up several of the collapsed pauses and placed them back into the holes littered across the wall. "Yes," said Dr. Ar...
