Webspace/Coding offers

[elf]

So I've gotten several offers of webspace, and several more people have offered their 1337 H4X0R 5K1LLZ in setting up said webpage. I am overwhelmed with generosity. And a bit bemused.

Obviously, you people have NO LIVES. While I've been learning to change diapers & cook beef stroganoff, you've been learning how to make electrons bounce through wires a thousand miles away. You are all appointed Pope of the Lost Pixel Cabal. Be very, very ashamed.

Anyway, I was considering taking you *ALL* up on the offers, and having five or six "Official Fifth Trinity Church" websites. Whaddaya think? Start this web-presense with a proper Discordian approach? (I'll try to get around to emailing this to everyone who sent me email addressess--I dutifully noted them in the new Fifth Trinity Members & Interested Persons excel sheet--but I'm a bit spacey right now, and it'll probably take me a day or two. Don't worry, the church isn't going anywhere in the meantime.)

DO IT! DO IT! Sounds like fun!

...and leave that Pixie alone. She's shy. :-D

If you go that route, I definitely would want to set one up! :-)

With a bunch of official domain names?

Like fifthtrinity.org and 5th3.org and . . . . hm. I wonder if someone who is significantly more code-mighty than I could adequately write up a script that would select one of those Official Websites at random when loaded and redirect accordingly. (I place this idea here in case the more mighty should happen to come by.)

Potential official domain names:

fifthtrinity.com/org/net
5th3.com/org/net
erischurch.com (etc.)
discordianchurch.com (etc. I'm gonna stop putting in the extras.)
churchoferis.com
523.org (.com is taken)
5thtrinity.com
5trin.com

and, of course, all the hyphenated and underscored versions of those. Yeah, we could have a field day with two or three similar domain names (fifthtrinity.com & .org) being radically different looking, and a couple of the others looking a bit like one of those, but each proclaiming itself to be the only true & official website of the church--don't be fooled by imposters. (Or one of them could claim another is a "sister site," even though the sister site denounces it as a fraud.)

If you send me your spreadsheet (or a sample) and tell me what email program your using, I can try to set up an automated email system.

I use pine. If you can set up an automated email system for it, I bow to your mighty Unix genius.

But I'll try to get them all together anyway, 'cos I bet I can find some foolish idi eager volunteer to help manage email notifications. Right now, I've got a list of usernames & where I know them from; mostly LJ, some from delphiforums. I have the email addresses of those who specifically handed them to me, and I need to check out the userinfo's of most of 'em to find out if they can get mail through LJ.

*I* can get email through elfwreck at livejournal dot com, so people who don't want to reveal their emails to the world can write to me with email or phone numbers.

It seems to me as if at least one of them should feature lots of broken links, a headache-inducing color scheme, and some really impressively wrong Fun Facts. (And of course some flaming of all the other Official Sites.)

And webrings. Lots and lots of webrings. The less relevant the better.

Including the "Official Fifth Trinity Church" webring. (Wonder if I can get HyperDiscordia to join?)
