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!

Spring Is Getting Here – April 2010

Hello everybody,

We’ve been inundated with problems and issues and – as one of my business administration professors used to say – “challenges and opportunities!” But we’re slowly digging out of all the mess. And, after all, it IS spring!

We have taken this opportunity to redo the Websites part of the site to reflect more accurately just where we are. If you take a look there, you will see the number of websites we have that are off line – it’s more than what we have online! We also updated the WordPress theme – same theme (“This Just In”) but a newer version and new graphics as well.

But what’s going on here is just one part of the bigger picture, and we like big pictures, right? Yup!

There are a lot of things underway, and the surprising thing is that many of them are combining solutions to the old problems with answering the challenges of the new ones. That’s called taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

We also have some brand new websites:

  • Who Is Jimmy Craig – an autobiography,
  • Web Hosting By Jimmy Craig, a php site that has a current listing of what we think are the best web hosting offers around, plus – eventually – also reseller web hosting,
  • The Ruppin Family, a history of the Ruppin Family around the world, plus a section on genealogy
  • and Blogging 1oh1, a new blog about blogging under a pen name.

Well, I guess I should get back to work

Thanks for looking in!
