Black Cat

27 Aug 2001

There’s this black cat with freaky looking eyes that keeps coming into our house. The first time it startled me a bit. I was watching TV (back in the days when we had more than one channel) and it just walked right in. Today it came meowing in my room while I was eating lunch. [...]

Searching for hits

26 Aug 2001

With my compelling content, beautiful design, and overall superior user experience, I was trying to figure out why I don’t get more hits. So I determined my target audience and the type of things that my target audience would search for when wanting to be enlightened by my page. Then I spent sleepless nights planning [...]

New hard

26 Aug 2001

I’ll be getting a new hard drive on Friday!!! 40 gigs (7200 rmp) $179.99 CA. Goyer will be bringing it down from Toronto. Wonder what’s at the top of a google search for hard drive.

Our hydro bill was due today

25 Aug 2001

I took this MBTI personality test today. My mom is into some of this personlity test stuff so I had already taken a similar, longer, Myers-Briggs test (twice). I must say that I actually like the stuff myself. Both previous times I was an ISTP (Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving). However this time it said I [...]

site specific google search

22 Aug 2001

Ever get frustrated by a site that doesn’t have a search function. Or one that doesn’t always work… even when it does, it’s not very good. Try a google site specific search like this one. I must give credit to Tim for the great tip.

SitePoint

22 Aug 2001

SitePoint has some good stuff. I like the article, Search Engine-Friendly URLs. I’d probably go with method 3.

Sites of Interest

21 Aug 2001

There are so many crappy sites out there; it can get very frustrating sometimes. However there is also a lot of good stuff. And good sites should be extolled… proclaimed so that humanity can be enlightened. But how do you go about doing this in an efficient way. The amount of content can be overwhelming…. [...]

Satellite Photo of My Home

20 Aug 2001

Check out my home: a satellite photo of my home in Akron. Thanks to my brother, Tim and Terraserver for helping make this photo possible. Too bad it only has pictures from the United States… but hey… it’s still very cool. And yes I realize that Terraserver is brought to us by Microsoft and that [...]

I’m back

19 Aug 2001

I guess I should say that I’m back in Waterloo now. I had a nice visit home… hung out with most of the kron, relaxed. My parents and brother drove me back up here… we actually drove up on Friday and then spent the weekend in Kincardine at the Southsider Motel. I should also mention [...]

Going home

11 Aug 2001

I’ll be on my way home (Akron, PA) in about an hour. I’ll be home for around a week, and then I’m back here to Waterloo, probably until Christmas. I haven’t been back home for an extended amount of time since last summer. Last Christmas I was only home for a a couple of days [...]
