Google Ads

I’ve had the google ads over there for a little while now. These pay better than any ad system I’ve seen. For example, one clickthru on one day paid 71 cents. For one click.

So when you visit, can you guys please give the ad a click? Just one click when you visit, even if you just visit to check on the comments. Before you leave, gimme a click.

Thanks.

Road Rules

It has come to my attention that what I understand to be normal, common sense road rules, are not necessarily so.
For example:

1. If it is earlier than 9am on a weekend, road rules revert to a special weekend set. This set is usually understood to be random, and whatever you feel comfortable with at the time.
2. Roundabouts, giveway signs, and normal giveway rules, have different rules when utilised in a parking lot.
3. In general, and especially wet weather, indicators are optional.
4. In general, and especially wet weather, staying within the white lines is optional.
5. It’s OK to come to a complete stop before making a left turn.
a. It’s OK to come to a complete stop in the middle of the road at any time.
6. In the hands of a skilled, professional driver, a fully laden truck with 2 trailers handles exactly the same as a rally car, but has the advantage of only needing half the stopping distance, so therefore “100″ is optional.
7. Red and blue flashing lights, accompanied by wailing sirens, is the emergency services vehicle’s way of saying “Let’s drag”.
8. Red lights mean stop, however red arrows are optional, but only if you reckon you’ll make it.

That’s all I can think of right now. I’ll let you know more as I remember them.

iCapture

iCapture and ieCapture are 2 nice tools I just discovered. They give you a screenshot of your site as seen in various browser windows. Very helpful, actually.

I’m starting to wonder if it’s the same guy, because it’s always an indian accent on the other end.

Maybe I’m being stalked by Apu because I didn’t take the 2-for-1 squishie at the Kwik-E-Mart…
