Winter Is Here! – November 2010

Hello again!

I don’t know what your weather situation is, but here, it is definitely winter – we had about 2½ cm of snow on the weekend (that’s about 1 inch) and dustings daily since then. The lowest recent temperatures were around -10C (14F), but at least it’s getting back up to around freezing during the days. Today was a real mixed bag – started out with fog and some new snow, but now it’s cloudless and sunny. Winter is really here.

We have been experimenting with some WordPress systems, for example, how to work with multiple websites all on autopilot from a main site. That is supposed to provide an easier functionality to make multiple blogs with the content multiplied over the slave blogs. I have to say that it gets fairly complicated, and I personally don’t like the results – they look exactly like what they are – copies with no redeeming value. There is supposed to be some SEO benefit, but I won’t sacrifice my principles for a few SEO points.

The fallout from the investigations above is a new website, called “The Internet Monetized“. Its purpose is to discover and publicise opportunities to make money passively online – if you think that is a good idea (I like it personally!) take a look at the site. You will find it at http://internetmonetized.com, but be aware – it is really new, it came online just this past weekend, and there are still many rough edges.

Also, you will discover (if you go that deep in this website) that we have updated our list of websites. There are some interesting things there (and probably some not, depending on your personal likes and dislikes).

Take a look around, if you haven’t already.

Ciao!

Autumn Or Fall? – October 2010

Autumn Or Fall? October 2010

Well, I guess the answer is “yes”! Whatever you want to call it, it’s here. Cold nights (around freezing) with rain and fog – yuk!

In the “New Websites” department, we have taken in a new (for us) website called CMDC that had gone essentially untouched since 2002! We updated some things, added and subtracted some other things, and added a blog. “CMDC” stands for (in French) “The World Circle Of The Consensus” – I guess it’s easier in French! CMDC is a ten-year-old organisation that is recognised by the United Nations, which makes it an official Non Governmental Organisation – NGO. Probably the most famous NGO is the International Red Cross – Red Crescent (also Swiss), so we are in good company (CMDC is headquartered in Geneva, IRC just up the lake in Lausanne)!

There is also a development on our B&B client’s website – officially it is called “La Porta Di Todi” and is resident at http://bandb-umbria.com, but we expanded it a little and now the website answers under three different URI’s – http://bandb-umbria.com, http://bandb-todi.com, and http://laportaditodi.com. We will – over time – concentrate on La Porta Di Todi as http://laportaditodi.com.

We are also starting a project with Astramedia to develop a corporate website with all the trimmings for GEOCOGEN AG. That will not eliminate the current blog at GEOCOGEN.net, but GEOCOGEN.com will definitely outshine the original blog! Stay tuned – the planned publishing date is around the end of the year.

Guess that’s all for now … Oh, one more thing: we experienced an attack of some sort on our Bulgaria Realtor site just two days ago. I discovered some “foreign” code on the site, and there may be more. Our password was complex, but apparently the entry happened via some other method, since the entry was not logged. It was strange, since it apparently happened just before I went into the site to do some normal maintenance, and discovered problems – just before the screen went flat white! The hosting company is still investigating what might have happened – it’s on an old server (from 2004 or earlier), and maybe the security there is not so great any more. We’ll see.

Ciao!
