Ars Technica has reported that an alpha version of Adobe Air for Linux is now available.

Little Miss JaneyBell of Penalties and Parenthood fame has not only bumped up in Google Page Rank to 3 she has also shown up in Business Week > Business > Investing section. Thankfully we cleansed that site of Izea trash code. Third site under a month to jump along =) the sweet track record my lovelies.

Always remember that nobody can dictate your success if you have your heart in making it. Those rising too fast may loss their way and stumble. Mistakes will only lead to more experiences which, when seen in the right light, help build the solid foundation required. Our next goal will be BANS sites, but before this we need to apply for a ClickBank account.

Flipping through the web, you know what I mean, brought me to a site dedicated to buying Ford F-150 used trucks. There’s nothing fancy when it comes to this work horse web site just search, click and buy.

Let’s take a peek at one truck. From the site I see that there are 2 days 5 hours bidding time left with 7 current bids. The price is clearly marked in red text. What we basically have here is a quick and easy way of shopping for Ford F-150 trucks. Clicking through to eBay brings further details of the truck; Year: 2007, Make: Ford, Model: F-150, Mileage: 11,501, Transmission: Automatic, Engine: 8 - Cyl. 5.4 L. Hell, if this truck strikes your fancy better hurry up and bid!

Earlier this morning around 8:21 aloud boom rang through the downtown area. This was quickly followed by an additional two booms. Each time the lights flickered off and on as anything powered with electricity lost power. All except my desktop thanks to the battery backup unit.

So I feel the pain of Kaushal Sheth, a WordPress theme designer. Apparently, the company hosting his web properties lost all power, which as anyone in the business knows is catastrophic. In searching for a replacement he’s posted a nice write up discussing a few of the
best web hosting companies found in his search. He looks to be leaning towards Host Monster in the post. I’ve never used them myself and can’t vouch for his conclusions.

The solution to hosting problems is to use tried and true companies. Ones with the resources, a solid track record and time in service. Steer clear of the fly by night sites. Hopefully you never have to live through the same situation that affected Kaushal’s productivity.

Hey all, just realized it’s been a few minutes days since my last post. We all know what it’s like getting caught up with things. The reason for this quicky is to share a few thoughts before I retire for the day. First, a giant congrats goes out to JaneyBell! She’s being interviewed by the Raleigh News & Observer on her being a blogger. Thank g_d we cleansed the blog before hand to remove paid postings. Another blogger is seeing her site also topping the PR chart - sans paidpostings -  once again showing that valuable sites need to steer clear of Izea content if they wish to protect their Page Rank! Two differing sites from different folks providing the same results.

Remember to stay clear of Izea properties with real blogs if you’re in the game for the long haul. One disagreement with ‘lil Ted and all that time is as good as gone. 100k members means nothing if they “can’t delete blogs that quit their service.” I watched time and again as newbies jumped on the forum wondering why their newly acquired Google PR was wiped out over night when they joined PPP. Better be safe than sorry. Besides, PaidPosting companies are a dime a dozen these days.

What else is going on??? Emmette just turned two. He, Ollie, Jandy & Scott are camping tonight at Goose Creek state park. Krispy Kreme Easter  donuts were enjoyed by all (including Thompson) the wonder dog. We dropped in with Ruth for a couple of hours to hug E2.0 and look for shark fans! teeth with Ollie. He sang we’re explorers as we walked the trail with his bug magnifying handheld thingy with built in flash light.

What causes the transformation from observer to do’er? Clearly Gandhi was able to move towards improving lives after being treated wrongly by those that felt justified in their actions. They may have even been cheered.

I listened to Gandhi’s grandson talk about his life. Her name was Arun Gandhi and this is some of what she said.“Ironically, if it hadn’t been for racism and prejudice, we may not have had a Gandhi. See, it was the challenge, the public need for the public victory that developed the private victory. He may have been just another successful lawyer who had made a lot of money. But, because of prejudice in South Africa, he was subjected to humiliation within a week of his arrival. He was thrown off a train because of the color of his skin. And it humiliated him so much that he sat on the platform of the station all night, wondering what he could do to gain justice. His first response was one of anger.
