To Be Titled

Striving to be a good dad, a good husband, a good son/brother, a good political scientist, a good photographer, a good cook and a good homo universalis.
Some progress… I managed to check out the webapps for about twenty minutes, but the push service didn’t seem to be working properly.

Apple’s transition from .Mac to MobileMe hasn’t been smooth. The planned outage started about 10PM MDT last night. It was supposed to last about six hours, but as of now, it’s approaching nineteen. Steve Jobs and Maxime Veron must be seething.

Google AdSense II…following up on yesterday’s post. This is from my main site, “Changes in Progress,” which has the Google link ads at the bottom of the page. This is what I get for properly crediting Bill Israel and his theme design.

Google AdSense

I don’t think this will ever be a big revenue stream, but I decided to put up Google ads on the three sites. They just went up there today, so I’m sure they will change over time. But right now the link ads are showing the following:

Moon Moon
Moon Cycles
Lunar Moon
Moon Calendars

This is interesting, because I don’t think my name is mentioned anywhere prominently on the site, so AdSense must be working from my e-mail address?


Poking fun at Facebook

This is exactly the reason why I have my Facebook policy. A few weeks ago, I actually de-friended some people that I barely knew but were on my “Friends” list.

DSL Speed Boost

Qwest has been upgrading its network to fiber optics. Although 20Mbps connection is not yet available in Boulder, they now offer faster speeds than before at same prices. We’ve upgraded to the 3-7Mbps download speed. The results are okay so far. The speed has been slowly increasing everyday, so I hope it reaches closer to the 7Mbps limit eventually.

Cell Phone # Portability = Local Number Portability

Although I don’t plan to transfer our T-Mobile family plan phone numbers to a different carrier any time soon, I decided to look into how the number portability would work. It turns out, that the portability is restricted to local areas.

I currently have a number with the San Francisco area code but the cell phone service is billed to Boulder, CO. Since San Francisco and Boulder are not in the same metropolitan area, I cannot take advantage of the number portability service…

Why let bad potence spoil your nights.
