The blog is now PR 4. I know you could care less, so I made the main page entry on the root blog. This is a big deal for me. It was a goal that I started working on about two months ago and all of the work has paid off. The book blog, the […]

Middle Earth Stumbleupon
Friday, October 30, 2009
Stumbleupon.com on the average is sending a click every 10 seconds to the middle earth map on the main page. I know this because I wrote a WordPress plugin that lets me watch the traffic, pretty much in real time. I should get about 1000 users today if this keeps up for very long This […]

Thursday, October 29, 2009
The Root directory here www.cthreepo.com is nearly converted to WordPress. It has taken up my spare time here and even at home.

Thursday, October 22, 2009

I have always tried to avoid writing the plot summary flavor of book report. I have been writing my opinions on the books that I read. […]

I have been making some small amount of money off of pages based on eBay rss feeds. In the last 24 hours or so 1and1 disabled an important function that allowed these apps to work. It looks to cost me a few hundred a month so it is time to change hosting companies. This is […]
Sell on Good News
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
I worked for almost 15 years at Lockheed Martin. I still have some Lockheed stock form those days. This morning Lockheed Martin announced better than expected earnings and the stock dropped 4 and half points. I know that this is no unexpected. Stocks go up on bad news and down on good news, but that […]
