Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG. I just suddenly had the urge to see CalGal schooling Nick Denton on running sites and making money. That would be hysterical.
Yes, yes it would.
And congrats from me!
msbelle, I'm afraid that's a little too much of a fixer-upper... The helipad isn't even functional!

What, you mean, like the sacrifices you make in not taking a salary to run a non-profit? Seriously, people like you get paid a lot of money to do what you do for us for free. And furthermore, you built it from scratch up, you're not just maintaining it. Core code, people!

Wait, ita's not supposed to be drawing a salary? OH.

Except all the tourists, and the local planning commission, and maintain the boat, and keep the generator running, and remember to have your clothes on when the local CG team comes to make sure the light is still working properly...

(Everyone knows I'm just kidding, and all of your donations go straight to the hosting fees, right? Phew.)

Which reminds me, yesterday was payday, I need to get my donation in.

I admit the lighthouses are prettier, but they're a MAJOR PAIN to maintain, since even if you get them for, say, $10K, you still have to bring them up to code, and the standards are pretty strict. A number of people have won those auctions and then backed out when they realized how much they would have to spend on them. And it's not as though they're easy to get to--the ones being auctioned off are usually out in the water, so you need a boat to get access.
