Since I haven’t been active on Twitter now for about a month I went ahead and deleted my account. It was nice and all for a while then all of a sudden people I followed started to spam. Those that didn’t spam got lost in the sea of spam.
So for those that were wondering and looking for me, I’m here. Feel free to contact me at any time.
Yesterday turned out to be really busy, more so than usual Sunday’s. Started off with cleaning out websites and doing back-ups. Then whole house cleaning. Followed by grilling.
Naturally I was up way early and wanted to work on the project I was on. Thinking about it as I drank my first cup of coffee I decided that I really needed to shutdown great back links, remove advertising from all my sites, and do back ups.
Shutting down Great Back Links came about because I just do not have the time anymore to review each link submission. The amount of paid links has never really caught on. The whole reason for starting Great Back Links was for affiliate advertising anyhow.
Which was the other problem, I had no time to keep up with the advertising campaigns. I n’t removing old campaigns and adding new ones fast enough to really target the traffic on all the sites.
So Great Back Links is no longer. All advertising has been removed from all my sites. All sites updated to their current versions of software, and they are all backed up.
Kel’s room particularly needed cleaning due to the bunnies running around. Started there first with a total clean of her floors and mopping them. Takes a bit since the bunny pen takes a bit of floor space.
Rest of the house next. Kitchen, bathrooms, etc. All mopped and clean!
While we were cleaning, (Rai helped) I mentioned that when I get a job we are so getting a grill. Surprisingly she said go get one. I explained that it would be upwards of $300.00 dollars to get one with gas. She was fine with it.
A quick trip to Lowe’s and I was back with a four burner grill and a side burner! We barbequed chicken that night. I so love to grill! Plus no more crappy, greasy skillet burgers! I love my grill, have you figured that out.
After dinner my attention drew to three little details that really needed cleaning. The bunnies. Bathing them is something you really don’t do, but they needed it and with the warm weather coming a flea dip as well.
Kel helped me with the toweling and the flea spray, but after all three I looked like I was caught in a blender. The bunnies really didn’t like the water and having to hold them to my chest to dry them off, well let’s say they didn’t like that either.
Seems like forever that I’ve updated a post here. I mean the last on was from the office in the old house. We finally did make the move to the new house. Unfortunately while in the process of the move work kept calling every few minutes because they jumped the plan early and deployed a project without me. I has already planned on being there for the planned deploy but what could I do when it went early.
For so many months I’ve been working double shifts trying to get the affiliate system out. While I’ve meet my goals on each iteration, new features keep putting it back that set me behind for launch. Or more realistically my project been stuck behind others that don’t let me deploy on time. I think this has caused more friction in the company that shouldn’t be attributed to me or my abilities. But what can I do.
For about two weeks now I haven’t had to work non-stop and it’s been really nice. Not only have I started to work on my personal abiliates again; read Object Thinking by David West. I’ve also started to plan on blogging more as well.
I go two great posts out over this Thanksgiving weekend and have at least two more posts to write. One concerning JavaScript testing and the other CherryPy testing. The problem is I don’t want to rapid fire the posts, 4 posts in 2 days and nothing for a month. That’s not very good.
So lot’s more to come with the time I finally have!
