How-to – 1and1 and Posterous Custom Domains
Posterous recently implemented simple Custom Domains. So I decided to try it. But Posterous's help file doesn't actually help. First of you don't need to change the A record. What you want to do is change the CNAME instead to posterous.com. If you look at the following pics, it'll all make sense:
Log into your admin account at 1and1, and then get to Manage Domains.
Then create your domain, in my case I made a sub-domain of reverenddak. There is probably a bunch of things you have to do if you're doing a new domain. I didn't try. But it's probably easy for you if you work on websites.
Next you select the domain you created.
…
This is where Posterous's help doesn't work for 1and1. You don't want to change the A Record, you need to change the CNAME. And you enter posterous.com as the Alias. Hit OK or whatever, then you're done on the 1and1 side. You probably should get a coffee, or catch up on a TV show, because it might take a while for it to take effect. Sometimes it is immediate, sometimes it takes a while. I've done a lot of subdomains, and it's pretty typical. Â
 Ok, when you come back to your computer, log into your Posterous account and go to the Settings page for your Posterous site. It can only be your primary account, well it is for me. Edit or modify your site. Then enter the domain your created under domain. When you hit save it should be done.Â
So go and check! It should work, if it doesn't I can try and help, but yeah…
So go and check! It should work, if it doesn't I can try and help, but yeah…I hope this helps some of you. You'll also notice that your old URLs will automatically redirect to your new fancy domain. All old URLS on other sites that pointed to any of your posts will still work. It's pretty cool.Â
Dealing with Prop 21 (fail) and Prop 22 (pass)
I have an idea: Since Prop 22 won, effectively allowing cities to keep
a certain chunk of money earmarked for Transportation and their
property taxes. Before that the State has been diverting this money to
public services, such as schools and new fire trucks. I think it’s a
good time for us, the rest of us, to start demanding that our public
officials spend that money properly. We don’t need any more malls, we
don’t need a new robotic parking lots. We need updated schools and
public spaces – parks! Since Prop 21 loss, State Parks aren’t going to
get their $18 per car. They have to continue relying on gate fees,
public trusts and donations. At this rate State Parks are going to go
to shit. More will shut down – not that nature will care. The worst
case scenario is that the state will have to sell the land, and
someone will develop it. Cities will use their Transporation funds to
build new and expensive highways through their new purchased watershed
turned toll road. Unless we do something about it. How about we demand that our cities maintain these state parks and
keep them as parks? Now for a rant: I know that a ton of these city officials are in bed
with developers. And maintaining a park isn’t going to make anyone
rich. But NO ONE should be getting rich at the expense of the people.
I don’t understand how we let it happen, and I don’t understand why it
continues. People should be volunteering time, money and resources for
things that the public needs. Meaning, no one should be getting rich
from public projects. But it appears tons of people are, including
public officials. My tax dollars shouldn’t be lining anyone’s pockets,
especially a multi-million dollar developer. Thinking about this really pisses me off. I could use Prop 19 right around now.

The Reverend Dak had an amazing weekend, this past weekend.
It started by riding through South Central, to Redondo Beach, with some amazing friends.
Then Sunday was spent on an Island in the middle of the LA River.
Amazing.

We came. We saw. We literated.
Come and join us Sunday, April 13 at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles as we reinvent the art of sharing. The public wants to consume culture, and we aim to feed it to ‘em! Here’s the story (no pun intended):
At 1pm we’ll wander casually into B&N, and pick out a book of our own choosing – the Bible, bodice-rippers, C++ programming, French poetry, whatever floats one’s boat. At 1:10, the public readings shall begin, as we all walk the store sharing aloud passages from our chosen books. The reading shall continue until 1:25, or until security throws us out.
EXTRA CREDIT! Participants are encouraged to create at least three bookmarks bearing a special message to consumers to place into random books around the store before the reading begins. Easily done while browsing for your favorite title to titillate the public with!
Please join us afterwards at the Buzz coffee shop 7623 Beverly Blvd, LA 90036 (at the corners of Beverly Blvd and The Grove Dr.).
GETTING THERE:
Parking at The Grove is terrible and costs $$. By public transport, you can take the Metro to the Hollywood and Highland station, then hop on the 217 bus at the northwest corner of Hollywood and Highland Blvds (westbound). Get off at Fairfax and 3th St. The Grove is behind the Farmer’s Market. Or you can find your own route at the handy Los Angeles Metro Authority site: www.metro.net/default.asp
