Autistic Planet

1 comment August 30th, 2006 3,367 views

I decided that I need a single name to refer to all of these autism related websites that I am hosting, running, and/or creating. I want to have a website explaining what each site is and ways for people to help support them. I got this idea because I am trying to raise money to move all of the sites to a reliable virtual private server and off of the not completely reliable shared server they are on now. I am feeling extra responsible for server reliability since starting Autiblogger!

My first priority is fundraising to get money to pay for the server. It is not cheap and there is no way I can afford to pay for it myself. I’ve decided to sell products, all or mostly made by autistic people, and to put all of the proceeds from those sales towards keeping up these sites and others like them.

I registered the domain name AutisticPlanet.com after trying about 50 other domain names that were already taken. Then, I created a graphic (above) that I will put on t-shirts and other products and add them to the list of items for sale. Read the rest of this entry »

Linuxworld 2006

I’m at Linuxworld at Moscone Center in San Francisco. It is the last day. I almost didn’t make it here because I’ve been so busy and kind of freaked out about getting homework done, which I still haven’t.

I accidentally took a class that started 2 weeks before my other two classes end. Oops. This week is the final project for both the CSS and JavaScript classes. Third class is about datbase design. Next week, the class I have been most excited about starts. It’s an advanced CSS class and covers the whole CSS 2.1 specification. The one I am taking now is more of a workshop that focuses on real world CSS problems and solutions.

But, I digress… Linuxworld. With some encouragement from K, along with a reminder that Linuxworld happens only once a year in these parts and that I would be really bummed if I didn’t come, I hopped on a BART train and made it here 10 minutes before the doors to the expo opened. I am really glad I made it here. Geeks everywhere. Servers. Open source open source open source everything. And t-shirts. It’s always fun coming to these things on the last day because people are always giving away their stuff so they don’t have to haul it back to wherever they came from. I also got a tiny usb hub, a few live linux distro cds, and of course, pens and magazines. There weren’t many live cds to be found that would run on a mac. They were either already all gone, or being worked on. The Gentoo folks still had one G4 mac disk, and were kind enough to burn me an intel version too. Gotta love that geek hospitality.

Autiblogger.com

I am working on a new project to provide free blogs to the [tag]autism[/tag] community. Autiblogger.com is now in the first public testing phase. It is powered by [tag]WordPress MU[/tag], and so far all is going very well.

I have been wanting to set this up for a while and am very glad to finally have it working. There were a few problems with the [tag]wordpress[/tag] mu install, but that was because I didn’t have a wildcard DNS entry set up for the domain. It is set up now and everything is working as it should. I wish I would have known to do that the first million times I tried to set up wpmu!

If anyone wants to set up a blog and help me test the site, just go to autiblogger.com and sign up! Please read the Terms of Service first! All feedback is appreciated

Hangman games are back Click on the ‘Hangman’ menu to pick a topic.

If you have a request for a new topic, please leave a comment. If you have suggestions for more words to add to a topic that already exists, please contact me here. Don’t want to make it too easy by having the words listed here!

I will probably move the flash games here eventually too. Not sure about the forums, web links, or reviews either. Reviews and links are easy to integrate into this site without having separate sections. If anybody wants the forums back, let me know.
