I’ve been playing around with running Android on my Touch Pro 2 and while I usually stick with a modified Rom in Windows Mobile, I decided I would see if there is a good blogging app for android. It turns out there is a wordpress app which is what I’m using now. Unfortunately, Android is far from a finished product for the Touch Pro 2. I’m amazed that people were… Read More »Using my microsoft phone to run Android?
In my previous post about Google Adsense Placement Ads vs Contextual Ads I mentioned that I had added channels to each of my ads on some of my sites, and I set them to be available for placement ads. From what I understand, placement ads are where an advertiser has specifically approved their ads to run on your website and possibly even specified which place on your website the ads… Read More »November update on how placement adsense ads are doing
I’m an internet junkee. I admit it. That’s the first step, right? Anyway – today I’ve been missing my ability to access google from my cell phone. It’s weird that I am still able to get my email through the exchange server, but I can’t access any google web pages, including gmail, google.com, and their news. I couldn’t find much information about this online. I for sure wasn’t able to… Read More »Sprint 3G network not letting me access some major sites
We were deciding whether to get more furniture or redo the closet in the baby’s room. While I’m somewhat handy, I definitely do not consider myself a big do-it-yourselfer. However, a year ago when we moved in, I did consider redoing the closet in our master bedroom. When we moved in, the house came with very basic closets. The closets consisted of a basic wire shelf from which you can… Read More »EasyClosets Review with Photos of the Installation
I spent a bunch of time today working on improving my channels in Adsense. I had received a note from Google in my account suggesting I allow advertisers to target my channels as that would improve revenue. They told me to do this in advance of the shopping season. I don’t really have any big seasonal items to sell, though, so I wasn’t in a big hurry to do this. … Read More »Are setting up channels for placement ads worth the trouble in Adsense?
So my cousin is in from out of town staying with us. He takes my 3 year old Toyota Highlander out to run an errand. On his way back, he’s making a left turn at a stop light to turn onto our street. He’s waiting in the intersection and then the light turns yellow and as it’s turning red he starts to make his turn. Unfortunately, there is a 21… Read More »What happens when someone else is driving your car and crashes it
So 2 weeks before one of my little F’ers comes home from overnight, we get a call that there has been an outbreak of lice at camp. Our lucky child happens to have nits but no visible lice were spotted. They went ahead and treated him (with who knows what) and then they treated again after 1 week. This was a few days before he comes home. I of course… Read More »How I made sure I didn’t have lice
As I mentioned several months ago, I had issues with coverage denied for a brain MRI but it seemed to all get sorted out. I don’t think I mentioned in the last post that the final person I spoke to said it was clearly marked in their system that I am not responsible for the bill and that it was the hospital’s responsibility to obtain approval. I told that woman that… Read More »Heath insurance companies are no fun to work with
I noticed that I had a relatively large increase in traffic yesterday – with a few different searches actually finding their way to this website. As this site gets very little traffic in general, a relatively large increase is still only a little traffic. I’m curious if the traffic was increased just by the fact that I had posted more frequently? Could that possibly lead to an increase in rankings… Read More »More visitors to my site
As I mentioned in my previous post on the speed with which WordPress blog posts get indexed, I also have an older much more established site using a popular forum software. That forum software is nicely optimized for easy indexing and I have sitemaps set-up, etc. Nonetheless, the posts on that forum don’t get indexed immediately like the WordPress posts do. I made a simple post during the last week and… Read More »Blog posts getting indexed quickly, forum posts not so much
