A month of google adsense.

I started putting ads on my site for google adsense on January 29th. So it’s been a month. How has this trial period gone? I’ve made $24.62. It’s not going to allow me to buy a shiney new BMW, but it’s money I didn’t need to work for. Yay free money!

Losing The Doctor and books I’m reading

Over the past year or so I’ve been tuning into WYBE every Saturday night at 11pm to watch Dr. Who. I looked forward to this, since I had only seen bits and pieces of different seasons and this gave me the chance to see them all. When I tuned in last night they had bad […]

Xelium Website Design Contest

I’ve sent out some globals on Xelium, but I thought I’d mention it here on my livejournal too. Xelium is having a “contest” to decide the new design for the website. The current website is here: http://network.xelium.net The design is great, but it’s old and not expandable. So we’re doing a complete overhaul and looking […]

My headphones died.

The woman who is training me at work recommended that I bring in a cdplayer/radio to listen to while working, she told me it made the day go by quicker. So the next day I brought in a discman and some old headphones. OK, so they weren’t headphones, they are “earbuds” and I haven’t a […]

Babbling

Today the office soundscape is full of sneezing, coughing and people blowing their nose. I guess that means a cold is starting to go around *sigh* That’s no good. *barricades self in cubicle* It’s started snowing. They are were 3-5 inches by this evening, but so far it’s not sticking. I guess this means we […]

Pandas in the rainforest?

I was at the grocery store recently looking for some handsoap. SoftSoap has this “Rainforest” line of soaps: http://www.softsoap.ca/english/brands/rainforest.shtml. This consists of 3 animals, a monkey, a parrot, and a panda. Wait, a panda? Let’s consult wikipedia: The Giant Panda lives in mountainous regions, like Sichuan and Tibet. I’m going to ask The Smithsonian Zoo: […]

Snow day off

I put the salad dressing on my salad when I made it up this morning, by lunchtime it was all soggy. Doh. Yesterday I woke up and there was 3 inches of snow on the ground. Ack. Because of the horrible roads and lousy road crews in this area I ended up calling work and […]

Been sick %\

I’ve been sick these past few days. It started on Thursday night, diarrhea, YUCK! I went to bed early because my stomach was feeling awful. Friday I went into work, wasn’t feeling the greatest and let my boss know I might not feel up to staying the whole day. I felt ok all day, and […]

Project organization

As I mentioned in a previous entry I want to start managing my time better so I can work on projects. My first step has been compiling a list of projects I want to work on, and I did that this week. Write new Address Book for internal use. This would be something running on […]

News/Blog Sites – Recommendations Wanted!

So I have this 45 minute lunch break, during this I’ve been catching up on Livejournal entries, reading theregister.co.uk, boingboing.net and browsing news.google.com… but that is getting old already, what else is out there? What are your favorite news/blog sites?
