It turns out that Google is now going to offer image ads similar to their AdSense service. Since I don’t know that much info on it, here’s a link: AdSense FAQ. Read up on it in you’re interested. I’m thinking of adding their text ads on my blog here, but I wonder if I’ll get enough people clicking on them to make me some cash-money bling.

Yes, that’s what I’m calling money now: “cash-money bling”.

In other news, I have officially become addicted to eBay but I have managed to not spend loads of cash-money bling. So I think I’m safe… for now!

Yesterday I recieved a call from a woman saying she wanted my fax number so she could fax me information regarding “changes occurring on the Internet.” That sounded like so much bullshit to me. Me, being a web-savvy female, politely declined and did a search for the company she called from, ‘Domain Support Group’ and I found out the truth.

Read this entry on Paul Graham’s website. Basically, the company cold-calls you to sell you some load of crap about notifying you of changes to the internet. When what they really want to do is get your credit card number and buy domain names with it.

So don’t give in if they call you! Say, “Thanks, but no thanks!” and hang up!

I screamed and cried and trembled in irrational fear. I was attacked by a fly this morning. Yes, a fly.

Midway to starting the shower process a fly was in the shower with me and flew towards a wall. I jumped. Then kept my eyes fixed on what I can only describe as the father of all flies. It was huge.

When I started the hair conditioning process, I turned to again fix my eyes on the fly because I HAD to know where it was at all times. That’s when I saw that it was gone and it suddenly flew past my hip. I screamed to holy hell and rammed into the wall frozen in fear.

It fell to the drain hole and was walking around it trying to avoid the water. This is where—around my tears—I started trembling. I couldn’t believe this creature had me in the state of shock that I was in. Further, I couldn’t believe no one came running after I had screamed; only Kpax, our dog, barked.

So as the fly fell into the drain hole trap I tried to control myself long enough to think of a way to trap it. I found a dishwashing sponge and ve-ry care-ful-ly, still trembling, threw it on top of the drain hole to trap the fly. I quickly rinsed the conditioner out of my hair and ran out of there. I had to tell my hubby to throw it away, in the kitchen garbage mind you, so I could safely go back in there to do my hair & makeup.

I thanked my hubby as he giggled for me being afraid of a little fly. I’m going to thank him for that one in my own special way. :tee-hee:

I just found out that my webhost is increasing everyone’s server space and bandwidth. Sweet! Any new customers will get the upgrade automatically and current customers will get it in a few months. Btw: the prices remain the same.

Now to find out what to do with all that space.

Go run to my host now!!! TCH

Today I figured out that I can have a folder of shortcuts on my Mac OS X dock. “How is this possible? She’s talking crazy!” you might exclaim. But wait! It is possible!

First create a folder, then put aliases in it to your fave programs (btw: an alias is like a shortcut in Windows). Then make an alias of that folder and place that folder in your dock by the trash can. When you click and hold on them, the folder contents open up in a small menu.
