It’s the same story with this blog crap. I manage to post more than once in a month, even getting 3 or 4 in, and then I just stop. For MONTHS. Seriously, my hosting is getting pretty fuggin’ expensive for what I’m getting out of it, which is basically visits from some random ass searches and spam links. Yeah, I’ve got some organic traffic, but that’s nothing to speak of ever since the school semester ended (I have literally had people type in their Phil 201 question prompts to google and find my philosophy page). Anyway, here’s some random searches for you:
celebriyies pictures lsa ryder fakes
lsat asian american poetry from hawaii
gmail
auto-erotic asphyxiation
cellular dish props
and so on. Oh, and don’t get me started on my “context based advertising.” If you haven’t noticed, the adsense ads I have on my page are so hilariously irrelevant, that I think that they have actually become part of the comedy of my website (they are actually content I plan to monetize). Well, we first and foremost have the ads for Intellectual Property-related stuff, but I guess I asked for that one. Then, there’s boat propellers. Is “props” the hip slang among boaters? Then there’s “Props” as in “stage props” and such, but I also asked for that one, I guess. In any case, the moral of the story is that if you want to monetize a blog with adsense, get some sort of topical niche with a meaningful and concrete name.
Sometimes, I’m confused about the objectives I have for my blog. Do I want to have fun? Do I want to make money? How am I going to do it? Am I going to be silly? Am I going to be perverse? Is this going to be a serious front for my name? I don’t know. On one hand, I want prospective employers/schools to google my name and see a wonderful intellectual resource, and on the other hand I want to put up lolcats. lolcats.
Anyway, if you’re curious about why I haven’t been blogging, it’s because I’m preoccupied with hard economic times after I completely blew all of my precious savings over a 2-year period of absolutely no income (yes, I had a whole 2 years to blow savings). I picked up the old job that made it all (poker) and am currently grinding it out again from the tiniest of bankrolls.
I just got through watching the first episode of Bob Saget’s new sitcom, Surviving Suburbia. I shall review it here, so that you do not make the same mistake I did.
The Gmail Blog talks about a new feature in labs - the ability to undo sending on your email. Just when I thought, “great, now I can unsend those emails that I realize in hindsight might creep people out,” they actually explained the feature:
Turn on Undo Send in Gmail Labs under Settings, and you’ll see a new “Undo” link on every sent mail confirmation. Click “Undo,” and we’ll grab the message before it’s sent and take you right back to compose.
This feature can’t pull back an email that’s already gone; it just holds your message for five seconds so you have a chance to hit the panic button. And don’t worry – if you close Gmail or your browser crashes in those few seconds, we’ll still send your message.
This has a similar concept to setting your clock 10 minutes ahead so that you’re always on time. However, that advantage disappears if you consciously remember and act upon the fact that your clock is 10 minutes ahead. It looks like it’ll be effective as long as people don’t start waiting an extra 5 seconds after they send an email.
I know for all the emails I fire off without attachments, this is really handy. Unfortunately, I use Outlook (yeah, I occasionally use Microsoft products besides Windows XP) more than I use the gmail client, so this isn’t really a day to day option for me.
