Weird Google Error

Feeding Readers With a Feed Reader

Published on Monday, April 24th, 2006 at 9:55am.

I’ve been using FeedLounge as my feed reading service since I was accepted into their alpha (or was it beta) phase months ago. It’s a great service and I was happy with it. When they came out of alpha and beta tests I was given 2 free months of service. That went by and I couldn’t access my account anymore, so I paid the $5 for another month. (...)

More Google AdSense Updates

Published on Monday, November 7th, 2005 at 11:15am.

It looks like Google has done some updating with AdSense because I’m getting updated stats every few minutes. It used to take 30 minutes to an hour for stats to update and even then they seemed to be behind. Just what I need. It’s not like I don’t suffer from Repetitive Information Injury (RII) enough. Update: Seems to be performing how it used to again. (...)

Google Adsense Flickering Fix

I don’t know how long I’ve been bothered by the Firefox problem with Google Adsense ad blocks. I’m sure you know what I’m referring to. While a web page is loading all you can see are Google ads flickering across the page. Or you’re on a site and when you move the mouse over a link, the Google ads flicker. It’s rather annoying.

Vote No On Proposal Link Exchange

My answer is always the same, “I don’t do link exchanges.” I think link exchanges polute the web. I will never link to a site just because they link to one of mine. (...)

Is Photo Matt Gone For Good?

Published on Friday, June 18th, 2004 at 9:47am.

I sure hope not. Matt introduced me to a whole new world when I stumbled across his site back in October-November. He suggested WordPress for use with my new blog and the rest is history. I’ve learned CSS, XHTML, and PHP. I’ve tried to conform to web standards as much as I can. To say the least…Matt has had a great influence on me, which has provided many hours of enjoyment. (...)
