I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think there are options for that if you jailbreak, but that's beyond my scope.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Anyone who uses Dreamhost...what is this Cloudfyre thing they are using now? Should I be happy about it? Or scared?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cloudflare, you mean? It's optional, isn't it? So I don't think there's any reason to be scared. Don't want, don't use.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Facebook has bought Insagram.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Makes you wonder how much marketing info they are pulling from your pictures to pay that much money for a photo sharing app.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is there any way FB could get the tiniest extra peek into their competitors' backyard by not limiting Instagram's posting functionality to just them? I guess it depends on many things, including how many rights they ask for when you install it.

I've never used it, because I'm way too old school hipstery for it.

As if.

ita ! thanks for the info on Skyflame or Cloudfyre or whatever the hell it is. I updated my Dreamhost account with it...and ooh, I need to re-up my domain name in 16 days!

Onerous task!
