Summertime Blues – July 2010

Hello again,

Why “summertime blues”? We have a lot of blue skies for the moment, and temperatures have started escalating into the low 30′s (low 90′s for you Fahrenheit fans). It has been some time since we wrote anything here, and that’s a mistake! Since the last post, we have added a few new websites, and here’s the list in no particular order:

  • GEOCOGEN at geocogen.net is a technical site for a project that I have taken on since the beginning of May. The project is a major project to provide 1’000 MegaWatts (or more) of electricity to the owner (a major power company, a municipal power authority, a regional or national government). The system that produces this base-load power is clean, sustainable, reliable, long-lived, and inexpensive. We started the website back in January, but kept it private until the company was formed in May.
  • Internet Office Connections http://internetofficeconnections.com is a domain that we took over from our partner Sue Fleckenstein. She decided she wanted to go in a somewhat different direction, so we took over the domain and put an existing php website on it, which is consistent with the previous content.
  • Webhosting By Jimmy Craig http://webhostingbyjimmycraig.com is similar to IOC in concept, but it was published primarily as a reference point for Webmaster Resources and Information. If we get to the point where we have enough business, we can install domain name and web hosting reselling activities on this same site.
  • Who Is Jimmy Craig was set up to have some place to send people to learn a little more about me in a controlled environment. The header picture of the Alps around the Sankt Gotthard Pass was taken from the living room window in my apartment in Oberägeri.
  • Finally, there is a brand new website STARWIND (http://starwind.eu) that belongs to the same group as GEOCOGEN. The STARWIND AG is a designer, fabricator, erector, and operator of high-tech wind turbines for power generation.
  • I think that’s all of the new sites without any of the old sites mixed in by mistake.

    Other news in the website area is that we will be discontinuing some sites as their domains come up for renewal. These are primarily the mophie-iphone series, the R- and X-rated sites that I never managed to get off the ground, and the Nessebar Beach Apartment sites. That looks like quite a few, but only the three mophie-iphone sites were active.

    More news in the website area is the new look of this website. The header picture is the entrance to an auditorium of a symphony hall somewhere, but I’ve forgotten where! That’s almost unforgiveable! But anyway, I think it looks nice!

    There will be a new page in the website soon (maybe together with the release of this page) that will show all the Jimmy Craig Websites in a directory (alphabetically sorted).

    The final news is that we have moved. All of our operations now will be done in our new space in the village of Hagendorn, near Cham (still in Canton Zug). You can check the contact page for the exact info if you need it.

    So. Well, that turned out to be a fair amount of news – more than I thought when I started.

    Thanks for looking in and reading this far!

Update Jan 2010
Hello again,

We’ve been busy – and still are – putting websites back on line with the necessary conforming text for the new FTC regulations, and also after some major revamps. One in the highlight at the moment is Practical Greenology. It has a bright new theme; yes, we finally got rid of the rather simple-minded original one. Also, it’s daughter blog, Go Green – Save Green, is being roled into one blog at Practical Greenology to combine some of our efforts and to keep from having to tend to some of our sub-domain sites, which tend to be difficult to promote. We also have a new site named iPhone Mophie (http://iphonemophie.com)to try to capitalise on some of the moentum we’re making with the Mophie Blog site.

There is, of course, much more less-visible work going on as well. We even have one old blog (it’s in WordPress version 2.5.1 and this one is now – as of this writing – at 2.9.1) that we will probably remake based on a modern theme. It was originally a Blogger product, so this will be the second move for it.

In keeping with our decision to discontinue the brokerage and face-to-face consulting business in Bulgaria, there will be some changes to our Good2004.biz FrontPage site as well – and some of them have already been initiated.

Our cooperative efforts at Sue & Craig Websites include a new website for the coop itself at http://sueandcraigwebsites.com. It has a very attractive theme and has lots of promise, although it is really just a storefront like this blog.

We are also re-doing the original Webmaster-Resources.info training site into a more modern Webmaster-Resources-Info.com after we had some problems with the hosting and domain name provider for the original site.

As you can see, we’re not just sitting on our backsides enjoying the winter weather! But I have to say that the weather here in central Italy is much less unpleasant than our partner Sue’s weather in northern Ontario! And that will also be the case when we finally get back to Switzerland; even though we’re in the Alps there, we’re not that high up.

Thanks again for looking in,

Craig
