Servers Upgraded, and I’m Still Alive!

Remember those upgrades I said my host would be doing waaaaay back in March? They finally got around to doing it today. My server is now running PHP5 and MySQL5, and so far the only hiccup was a useless module I was using for Commission Junction that caused a fatal error and prevented my blog from loading. But since I don’t use their affiliate network anymore…..

Yeah I Know

My server is having a temper tantrum here, so if you’re subscribing to my feed you may have seen a few duplicate and wonky posts lately. Sorry about that. Stupid stupid stupid WordPress. It’s like my own blog is conspiring to keep me from blogging here. :throwpc:

Goodbye World!

Well maybe.

A Milestone Reached: Selling My First Ad

I sold my very first ad! Yaaaayyyy!!!!!! :banana:

Check it out on the left: the ad is for a non-profit, non-partisan (supposedly) group created to bring more attention to the issue of global poverty during the 2008 presidential campaign, and what the candidates might do to address it. I don’t much care for the picture of John Edwards defiling my blog here, but it’s for a good cause.…..

A Bear of a Controversy

Last October I entered a link building contest for Pink Internet Marketing, where the winning prize was a cute, fluffy bear. Amazingly enough I won the contest, and after Danielle emailed me to let me know I won, I sent her my address, though I left my name out for the sake of privacy.

After that, I never heard from her again. After receiving…..
