macewan.org review of Google App Engine
2008-04-12 17:15:00
ReadWriteWeb pointed me to Google ’s latest project the Google App Engine . So what is the Google App Engine? Basically it handles the backend *think L.A.M.P.* of your webapp project. You heard it here first - is Google planning to purchase WordPress? Traceback (most recent call last): File “google_appengine/dev_appserver.py& rdquo;, line 50, in <module> execfile(script_path, globals()) File “/home/macewan/Desktop/Google App Engine/google_appengine/google/appengine/ tools/dev_appserver_main.py”, line 338, in <module> sys.exit(main(sys.argv)) File “/home/macewan/Desktop/Google App Engine/google_appengine/google/appengine/ tools/dev_appserver_main.py”, line 287, in main config, matcher = dev_appserver.LoadAppConfig(root_path, {}) File “/home/macewan/Desktop/Google App Engine/google_appengine/google/appengine/ tools/dev_appserver.py”, line 2415, in LoadAppConfig raise AppConfigNotFoundError google.appengine.tools.dev_appserver.AppC o...

Pay attention when blogging for money
2008-04-06 17:52:00
In looking at making money online one market has all but dried up. Pay Per blogging has kicked the bucket. I bring this up because it reminds me of the best method I’ve found with making money online. If a system works well then work it hard. Whether the past method of paid posting, the .info temp hop, stores, membership sites or products. There’s no time to waste trying to be a rockstar when serious money is on the table. Markets and algos change over night without warning. Never have all your eggs in one basket unless that one basket has the potential for huge pay-offs. Take Ben of Blogging Experiment. He’s just sold his site in order to concentrate on other projects and that’s just my point. Keep your eyes open and pay attention. After you hit a certain level in blogging as you learn more and more how little you truly do know other options will spring foward. Try to keep yourself and your time in such a place as to be able to jump when the time hits. Carol...

April updates
2008-04-06 05:02:00
Since around the 27th of March I started getting emails from folks asking how they can get out of PayPerPost. The short answer is you can’t. Once tainted your blog is as good as gone in Google. Moving forward try building “Postie” blogs which are blog like in nature but easily tossed if the money dries up after page rank is lost. I will not link directly to others because of the Izea slap they may incur. This is where jealous fellow Posties turn in other Posties to Google to get their Page Rank lowered. Nice huh. Once PPP started going downhill the gloves came off in their community. I have decided to turn into a do-follow site however so if you want to comment feel free. Do know that Ted has made it clear that you will not be welcomed if you complain. For all his huffing and puffing I never saw any law suit from lil Ted. I had a chance to talk with David Quinto at Quinn Emanuel about the subject of squatting as Teddy put it. This ought to get interesting. What els...

Outdoor lounge chairs in our future
2008-04-05 17:25:00
The Dogwood outside our bedroom is in full bloom. It’s spectacular first thing in the morning, sitting up in bed staring straight ahead out the window seeing this Dogwood. I walked over to my office with full wide open view of the trees. The Japanese Maple, Dogwood and flowering Pear staring right back at me. It’s time to start shopping. With grandkids and a nephew under 10 in the picture we’re leaning more towards eco friendly kids furniture for them. As for the adults? Outdoor Furniture. Specifically the outdoor lounge chairs with their Tahiti Sun Lounge r looking the be the favored choice.

Hosting problems
2008-03-23 14:24:00
Earlier this morning around 8:21 aloud boom rang through the downtown area. This was quickly followed by an additional two booms. Each time the lights flickered off and on as anything powered with electricity lost power. All except my desktop thanks to the battery backup unit. So I feel the pain of Kaushal Sheth, a WordPress ...

Reactions to perceived injustice

What causes the transformation from observer to do’er? Clearly Gandhi was able to move towards improving lives after being treated wrongly by those that felt justified in their actions. They may have even been cheered. I listened to Gandhi?s grandson talk about his life. Her name was Arun Gandhi and this is some of what she ...

Qassia?s potential $500 in 12 hours
2008-03-09 20:37:00
Reading through Gary’s and then Dulce’s information gave me the urge to test whether Qassia’s $500 in 12 hour potential has any merit. As mentioned in other blogs the Qassia site looks like other wiki’ish sites where you write content and receive a cut of the advertising profits. It’s true Qassia is in Beta but ...

Posties not welcomed by PayPerPost

Well, I’ve signed up posties.us with PayPerPost to test them as an advertising platform and after a couple of posties took our money we were censored once again. So… let’s get this straight. They censor their “community forum” They censor the forum for posties by posties by not allowing they to advertise on the network. They do not ...
