Summertime Wets!
What does that mean, “summertime wets”? Well, I guess that’s my way of complaining about the weather recently! Up until last weekend, we had had only two days without rain in four weeks (but at least they were both Saturdays)! Then we had two days of sun, but today, rain again.
I guess I shouldn’t complain too much – after all, it didn’t rain all day all of those days (although some of them, yes it did!). But if it had rained all day all those days, Switzerland would be on the way down the Rhine to the North Sea or the Rhone to the Mediterranean or the Engadine via the Inn and the Danube to the Black Sea or the Ticino via the Po to the Adriatic (depending on where in Switzerland you happen to be). In any case, we’re not the only ones with rain problems in the world – in India and Pakistan and northern central Europe (Poland and eastern Germany) they have (way) too much, and in Russia with all their brush/forest fires, not enough (none to be precise).
Well – enough about weather. We have a few new websites, and we have dropped some as well:
New sites:
- STARWIND is a contract site about the STARWIND brand wind turbines in the MegaWatt class, and it belongs to the STARWIND AG here in Switzerland
- Also new is the long-named Cure Infertility and Get Pregnant Naturally for the poor women who are having problems conceiving a baby. This is a JV website on Sue and Craig Websites
Sites that we have dropped for various reasons include
- MophieBlog.com
- BuyingMophie.com
- HypnoticBeachApts.com
- HypnotikBeachApts.com
- HypnotiqueBeachApts.com
- and a few others
We will continue to weed out non-productive websites in the coming months, mostly as their domain name renewals come due.
We are in the process of updating all our WordPress blogs to version 3.0.1. The improvements that came with version 3.0 resolved a number of technical problems we had with various hosting operations, and that is still the case with 3.0.1. Thanks guys!
I guess that’s all for now. Thanks for looking in!

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!

Talk About Busy!
Hi there!
The gang down at Green Home MegaStore and Sue and Craig Websites has been really busy the past few weeks! As you read in “New Websites“, they put up five new online stores at the beginning of the month. Now they’ve gone and done themselves one better – they just finished putting twelve (yes, that’s 12) websites online this past weekend.
Here’s the list:
Technically, these are all the same type of site – a dynamic php design with rotating home pages. From the reader’s point of view, they are all informational or content sites, and they all fall in the general “health” category. They were put up at this time (and there are a few more to follow) to complement “I Don’t Want To Get OLD!“, which has now been published.
You are invited to come by and take a look at all these sites – they represent a lot of hard work!
Ciao for now!
Craig

Hello again!
It’s been some time since I wrote last, but we’ve been busy – primarily with the jv based on Green Home MegaStore dot com. We have put up a number of new sites – mostly WP blogs – and have updated some of them to the newest version, WP 2.8.1. But we’ve had some compatibility problems with the 2.8 and 2.8.1 versions – actually, with the plugins that are not keeping up with WP’s progress for the most part. We are finding 2.8 is easier to use than 2.7 and lower, but 2.8.1 has some stability problems in terms of the view when we are composing posts and pages – it fluctuates on the page and you don’t always see the area where the cursor is.
Green Home MegaStore and our newest, I Don’t Want To Get Old, were off-line for about two days before we found the “villian” – a plugin that doesn’t work on 2.8 and above (at least not yet). They are back now, but it’s still a little rocky – sometimes we have problems getting the sites to come up on a browser. We’re looking at what we can do and what we have to leave out to make the sites fully functional.
Also, on Green Home MegaStore, we have installed five (yes – 5) online stores of various types. Some are completely for electronic products (that you can download), while others are for “hard goods”. Two of them are international – Canada and the UK – and more of these are on the way.
Other sites that are new are:
Practical Greenology
Go Green – Save Green
Aromatherapy
Zumba!
There are a few more in the wings, but the operating sites tend to take priority – particularly when they’re not functioning properly!
Ciao for now!

Hi there,
We are pleased to announce (a little pre-maturely) that we have made a joint venture with Sue Fleckenstein of Ontario, Canada, to put together a series of websites and asociated goodies to make a commercial website called Green Home MegaStore, which you can find at http://GreenHomeMegaStore.com. Our joint venture effort is named Sue & Craig Websites – tricky, huh? (rev. 2009.02.18)
The main site will be the hub for a series of sites covering alternative energy, energy use efficiencies, gardening and associated activities, home cleansing in the form of purifiers of various types, automotive fuel efficiency practices, personal health and well-being, and other similar items. We currently have about 40% of the various websites on line in one form or another. The entire project is (obviously) not yet complete, and may continue to be a “work-in-progress” for years as we continue to discover new articles and practices that deserve your attention.
Technically, at this point, the hub site is a conventional hand-written html site with links off to the other websites. The hub site is a WordPress blog based on a very nice theme from Function Design & Development Studio, wefunction.com, on a basis that fits our purposes very well. (rev. 2009.02.18) The other sites range from a brand new WordPress blog to static and dynamic AdSense-optimised php sites and html sites. At the moment, everything is a little helter-skelter as we are still getting our sites organised. We also envision that the entire site will become a membership site when it approaches “maturity.” For the moment, it is a free site with free membership required to comment on the blog.
We would like to invite you to visit the site(s) and put them on your favorites list.
That’s about all for now,
Craig Hesser
