Later
So I apologize for the short post of last Thursday, and I’ll try to make it up with this one. Highschool has been a weird mixture of things to me: on the one hand I’d like to know how things work, on the other hand I don’t want to do the maths on these things. It’s really cool how electricity and batteries work, but answering questions on it is not. Couple that with the other stuff I’ve been interested in (think hacking, tagging, “social software”) and it becomes a strange mix.
But it’s over now. And interestingly enough I find that now I’m hacking JavaScript for a living (well, scratch that, it’s a summer gig) there’s less need to work on my own stuff. I suddenly understand the reasons why DC2 never happened a lot better.
Anyway, there’s some other things I’d like to talk about in this post. MyBlogLog, which I talked about earlier, has started an affiliate program. So hopefully tomorrow I’ll be dissecting it yet again, and I’m going to add affiliate links too. Let’s see how much money I’ll rake from that! (Well, looking at my stats now, there’s been 27 hits on that article in the past week, even though it holds the #2 position on Google, so most likely it isn’t even going cover the monthly hosting costs of this site).
Another thing I’d like to dissect is Odeo, which just launched and to which I’ve been invited. No idea if it’s specific or if it’s because I signed up for the invitation. In any case now I can finally speak about Dunstan Orchard who’s doing the UI stuff for the Odeo.
Next Friday I’ll be heading to Enschede to look for a room at the University of Twente, where I’ll be doing CS next year. Anyone who want’s to grab a beer (or has a room I just have to check out) let me know.
Also, next Sunday there’s a JavaScript meetup in Amsterdam, organised by Peter-Paul Koch and Bobby van der Sluis. It looks like some of my colleagues from Q42 are tagging as long as well. Rock!
Have a nice Saturday!
