Google text ad previewer

This Google Blog
post lets you see what text ads Google AdSense would serve with your
website. Much fun to be had.

I’m not sure what I should think of my
results. (There was nothing there yet for “mendel.livejournal.com”,
just “wlonkly”).

Four ads for charities means it didn’t have anything specific for you.

Walking on air

First off, apologies for disappearing for so long. Things have been
pretty busy, and then last week I was on vacation and spending
minimal time in front of computers (and lots of time down in the

and Foucault — yay for cheap vacations!)

So you may remember that Candice and I [...]

as mendel.

But I’m still the same [...]

I met <lj user=”nyxie”>

So Candice and I agreed about a week ago we should meet at this really nice dessert café called “Oh So Good” to have nummy cake and coffee and a chat. Since she works nights and I works normal hours, the weekend was really the only time we could do this.

I spent the day down [...]

wlonkly compatibility layer

So I did that ljmatch.com compatibility thing that’s been making the rounds. So did everyone else, apparently, because my result is, as it were, hugass.

Support milestones

Wow, it’s been a busy few days on the LiveJournal
Support front.

Even though the last little while has been a little too much
“LiveJournal is experiencing performance problems” to my liking,
and even though long work hours have kept me off the boards, the
last little while has pushed me past 100 support
points, I’ve gained a set of I2 [...]
