• To Ad, or not to Ad, that is the question

    I’ve been approached by two companies this week wanting to advertise on my blog. Hmmm, confused I am. Can’t really tell if it is random spam they are sending or if there really is something on this site that’s attracting millions of potential customers for someone. (Well, I doubt it’s millions because I have logs of server load and visitors).

    Should I sell some space? Should just say no and keep this ad free ? Ah decisions decisions.


  • Nice little badge for my blog

    I beta tested Movable Type 3.2 Those nice people at Movable Type have not only finished testing the new version of Movable Type, they made a nice little badge for the people who helped look for bugs. In all I found 1 bug that no one else had reported (fixed in less than 24 hours) and 1 that had already been reported and fixed (the beta was being fixed and re-released daily and I was one release behind the current!).

    Now the new version is complete I’m running out of excuses to delay starting my first MT plugin…


  • another busy month

    Another busy month. Lots of news I guess.

    -Mum is in Australia (well, in a plane to Australia as I write this) to see Sharon, Todd & Lily.
    -I’ve given myself more work by deciding to create a web site to promote the local ATC squadron, then even more by deciding to give subdomains away on the domain name I bought for it (when you’ve got as many domains as I have, they get very cheap).
    -I’ve created Todd’s website based on some artwork they had a designer do. It’s at www.toddbowdensystems.com. I made a template so Sharon can put the content on herself.
    -and then there’s all those normal work things of surveys, computers to fix & troubleshoot, improvements to the internal office system, getting more suppliers to provide electronic data that makes us more efficient.
    -I’ve started entering the Boughton 10K runners into the software too, had 50 so far, another 30 that I’m waiting for more details on (they entered online and I only got a cheque from the runnersworld web site – James the race director got the names and addresses). Some interesting statistics which I’ll post here when I get time. Like the oldest runner will be 72 years old, and how well the mailshots worked amongst other interesting things.
