ace’s blog

I just scanned through my entire blog and checked the date of my first post and saw that it’s been over a year since I started this thing!  I’ve had my websites, in their many forms, for over 3 years now.  I think that’s pretty cool!  Some of the posts I scanned included my plethora of posts about me starting a Masters degree.  I don’t think that is going to happen but this time, it is for a different reason (as opposed to the first time I thought it was over).  I feel like I’m happier now doing what I do.  I have time to write web apps when I want to and that’s important to me as it is one of my new passions.  I have been doing a ton of posting in this month, including 5 posts today!  I don’t really know what’s gotten into me, lately I’ve been on this kick where I want to link my old posts like crazy.  This post has like 7 internal links in it already!

Meri is out tonight with the women of her playgroup (well, Aaron’s playgroup technically).  One of the women is moving out of town because her husband got a new job.  So since I’ve had this opportunity to be home alone, I’ve been uber-geeky and have been working on my blog and the websites that I use every day (digg.com, bloglines.com, and now feedburner.com:my blog feed).  I’ve also taken this opportunity to post to some technical (web-dev) blogs to post some comments and make sure to post my blog address in the hopes that some people will be intrigued and pay my sites a visit and maybe click on some ads.  Well the getting people to click on an add part worked and I can tell because I have one click on a Google Adsense ad!  Woohoo baby, my websites have generated $0.15 of revenue!  One of the blogs that I read over tonight had some good information regarding ads placement on blogs.  It was a pretty interesting read.  I have added that blog to my reading list on bloglines.com.

Well enough posting for tonight.  I think I’m just going to enjoy the rest of my alone time till Meri gets home.
