Look Both Ways

The amaryllis we received from Joan and Peter bloomed today. Here is the first flower just after noon today.

The four contact sheets are available at the pages below. These are large images so they take a little time to load. (If you click on the image after it loads you will have the image on a page with nothing else.)

I just helped set up the Spanish and English editions at eco-indextourism.org. Here is what the install.txt does not provide about configuring the server so that Drupal's multisite magic can work.

This first part is presented in the install.txt
Create folders for each site in the 'sites' folder. They look like 'eco-indextourism.org.es' and 'eco-indextourism.org.en.' Inside each of those folders place the proper settings.php file. (If the theme will be different for the different sites, then you can create a 'themes' folder within this folder.)

Create Symbolic Links on Linux Server
This step makes all calls for eco-indextourism.org/es and its English counterpart go to the root directory where Drupal is installed. Drupal then reads the original call and sends the proper site. Here are the commands used in the root (using Putty, the SSL client)
ln -s /home/[client name]/public_html /home/[client name]/public_html/es
ln -s /home/[client name]/public_html /home/[client name]/public_html/en

[client name] is the Web host's name for the virtual account
The command to create the symbolic link is LN -S (if the lowercase version is ambiguous)

RSS icon used by Firefox and recently adopted by Microsoft.

Water fountain in my office building.

Here's the drain. Was a drain like this the inspiration for the icon? It needs to be flipped and simplified, but it looks like a template to me. Even the icon's color scheme seems to have been influenced by this mechanical prototype.

The water fountain device is by Elkay, though it seems to be an obsolete model.
