Great Sport

Good weekend. Spent most of it cheating my body clock and watching the grand prix. Spent the other half mowing the lawns and playing with my boy. Had a little play out in the Garden on Sunday too as the weather was so nice! Anyway. Sport. Fantastic Grand Prix, really looking forward to the rest of the season now. Just hope Ferrari pull something out for the next race. Don't need Lewis lucking into points again.... Brilliant win for the mighty Glos in the Rugby too. We're off to Twickers! I think England kicked it in the friendly too but I didn't watch it. Might watch the qualifier Wednesday though. Still pressing people to join the forum. Don't know who will bother or when but I will keep it going. Getting the word around is starting to pay off as I am in talks about 3 different websites! :)

Great weekend coming up!

Dont know why really, just that I have no plans, a fridge full of beer, a pizza ordered and a full movie collection with about 10 unwatched movies in it. Oh and the Oz grand prix this weekend....

Quantum of solace + Shiraz. Perfect

So I have just put Alfie down and that means a few things. It means I have 20 minutes or so on here to do this and it also means that my evening with wine and James Bond is getting ever nearer! Quality. In other news. I heard this quality track from back in the day on Scrubs the other day. "Don't stop beliving" by Journey!! - class. Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGzwNdTVHJo

Creating traffic.

One of the biggest problems I have with being a presence on the net is how to drum up traffic and interest without getting on peoples wick. The problem is that I am not keen to ley out hundreds of pounds in advertising unless it is super dooper. I would muc rather be able to use the skills that I am trying to sell to see if there is a better technical way of getting people to see my site. So, this is it. This is test 3 now and hopefully this should complete the quad. That is to say, it will update my facebook status with a link to the forum. It will also update my blog which in turn will update twitter. It should also create a new thread on the forum titled 'Creating traffic'. If anybody has any other bright ideas about how I can get people to see my website(s) then please feel free to reply in the forum thread. My ears are very very open.

Wednesday 25th March 2009

Normal day here at work but the first time I have properly sat at this computer in the break room and posted a blog to automate everywhere. Skittles tonight so I can only improve on last weeks awful 44! Legs managed to find copies of Quantum of Soluce for £7 in Tesco so we can watch that tomorrow along with Grand Designs that I will miss tonight. Alfie, for the record, is still standing and bouncing happily. No rolling yet. Not sure he wants to. I know that sounds like a lame excuse but he hates it on his tummy so why would he choose to roll onto it... ? In other news. The lawn is going to kill me this weekend but as that is my only real stress at the mo I am not so worried.

Automation: Acid test.

Ok. This automation should now create a blog entry on http:ajax.kruelintent.com, it will update my twitter feed automatically as well as the RSS feed for my blog. It will also update my facebook status and create a new thread on my forum - http://forum.kruelintent.com - for people to comment about it. I am going to check all the things now as this is the first run and I will report back on the thread!

Tuba.

LOL!

Alfie

Alfie is always a joy for me.

Big swing...

Scored 44 tonight. A truly diabolical score. Only right and proper really when you think of the day I have had. I am going to bed flat and knackered, I have spent the evening on a shitty alley scoring crappy points and I feel like a load of rubbish. Who would think that I scored 71 last week....

I had actually forgotten what a bad mood feels like. Pretty damn dark.

Alfie "Sleep-Eating"

...cute. Petula Clark in the background is pretty cool too.

The big SEO test

So. SEO seems to work really quite well with grillymonk for the search term 'gloucester baby t-shirts' (Now number 3 by the way!!) but grillymonk is not a big money spinner. In fact, I only get a couple of pounds from every shirt sold so I am never going to be giving up my day job on that.

This leaves kruelintent. Obviously, This leaves more scope for profit so getting the search terms 'gloucester computer help' or 'gloucester web design' working for me could be much more useful. I have upload the new version of kruelintent yesterday so here is my start point. I am currently nowhere to be found in the top 300 search results for either search term so any gain on that would be good. I will report back in a week and check on the progress!

By all means, check out kruelintent to see what changes I have made to boost the results!

New project - Arr arr arr

So I am going to build a hexagonal tree seat around the cherry tree in my garden. It appears to be crying out for it. I know the timber costs a bit but all in it should certainly cost less than the £1000 these things seem to go for...

I even have a nice webpage telling me how to do it!

SEO Part II

So by just doing the META tag stuff, the heading thing and the carefully worded paragraph my site has popped from utterly nowhere to 4th in the world for the google search term 'gloucester baby t-shirts'.... pretty cool!

Formula 1

Cool.

"The BBC's red button interactive TV service will broadcast live coverage of all on-track sessions - Friday and Saturday practice, qualifying and race."

Skittles

Played last night. Scored 65. Average is now 63.608.

In other news, had Monday and Wednesday off work which has been cool but made for a pretty disjointed week so it really doesn't feel like a Thursday. I also have now had that come back off holiday and work has piled up feeling twice this week.... which sucks.

Player a lot of quakelive over the past few days too and that is proving very cool indeed. The queue is no longer an issue - straight in the last couple of times I played - and lag is pretty much nil. Sweet.

Sopcast

I was asked if there is anywhere one of loose morals can watch live premiership football on t'interweb and of course the answer is yes. the answer is, in fact, www.sopcast.org

The software is pretty shoddy but once you have struggled through the setup and found a list of channels you should be able to tune into some random far east channel that shows live footy. They watch it live on Sky - or whatever - and then stream it dorect back to us over the net. Bizarre but true.

So enjoy. Illegal boys and girls!

Cool Whip!

You can't eat a good pie without cool whip! LOL!
