After several weeks of being down, I have finally finished transferring Harpamps.com and NameAGalaxy.com to Hostgator.com web hosting. The Java/Tomcat is only available on the primary domain name (I found out too late). They also screwed up the DNS when the put me on a java server. NameAGalaxy.com now uses hidden frames to cover the fact that the website is really running on harpamps.com. If you click on http://www.nameagalaxy.com/list.jsp what you get is the same site running on harpamps.com.

I am running my three big sites at $20-$30 a day in add revenue. I hope that I can retire after a few years of this. When I hit $1000 per month I’ll know that I can take it easy soon. I will go on social security on the first possible day and work on making websites full time. That’s still 7 or 8 years off, though. I was screwed on the last Social Security Fix and I expect to be screwed in January when Bush announces his “improvements”.

Astounding Tales Issue 3 will be up and running by Dec 1. Arthur Sanchez and I will discuss the half dozen stories that he has accepted and I will be working on art. We meet for lunch tomorrow. I want to install flash on my home PC so that I can learn how to bring the site up to a more modern interface.

No word yet on the two stories that I have out. Quantum Barbarian, if they accept my story, should report around the last week in November because they have a 12/1 issue. Strange Horizons reported their latest rounds over the weekend so I should get my rejection in the next round which is 11/28-29.

I am writing a hitchhiker horror story. So far it involves a realistic and explicit rape. I will have to tone it down (perhaps make it simply murder). Carlos has yet to return the “God in a Bottle” story with his edits.

I won an old amplifier “project” on eBay. It’s a 1948 Premier 88N in pieces without the cabinet. It should arrive Friday. I look forward to a weekend of getting high on soldering fumes. I won’t go into the technical stuff, except to say the model 88N was unique in design and if I get it working it should scream!
