Slow day

It’s one of those days when I can’t string a coherent anything together. I was trying to mock-up a site design in Inkscape and it turned into the most dreadfully awful hack job… sigh. I slept pretty well, so I don’t think I’m tired, maybe I can blame it on biorhythms or whatever the hell those things are called.

I think the time has come to format my Windows partition - it’s only hanging around so that I can play Warcraft III online, and I think I’m over that for now. The pleasure/effort ratio has fallen to below acceptable levels mostly due to the other players. Watching your base get demolished by the opposing team whilst your 3 team-mates fight over items at the fountain is pretty stress-inducing, especially when you’re playing a mage or similar non-tank hero. So the hard-drive will be converted into an extra storage/backup drive, with the possibility of installing Ubuntu on it at a later stage. I don’t quite feel like getting rid of Gentoo at the moment, it’s mostly configured to do everything I need.

Web Expose has managed to cover 6 months of hosting with revenue generated from Adsense, which is to say, that it isn’t really pulling in many clicks. It’s nice to have a technical weblog to post tutorials and the like on, but at this level it’s really optimistic to think that it’ll bring in much money. In any case, the sort of readers reading it most likely have Adblock installed, hiding the Adsense ads. Additionally, Google’s targeted ads seem way off in relation to the content of my articles. I’m seeing things like the Sharp Zaurus advertised on AJAX posts…

That was quite an effort to write, I am really struggling to think straight today.
