Nico donated also a few euro’s for this kewl weblog ;-) Awesome ! Nico also receives an all-time link at this weblog. Right now 2 regular readers (dutch) actually did donate to this website through paypal. It’s working.
Who will be the next?
Google Sucks!
Google sucks even more after latest update
Everytime when I enter a keyword to search I see that sites as;
smartpages.com, 2020search.com, msxml.us.info.com, exactseek.com are popping up as 2nd, 3rd or 4rd result.
BAH. Google sucks.
Update: Ed writes that it could be spyware. Mmm, he could be right, cause this other machine has no problem. I will use this spyware tool to check it
Donaters
Punkey.com donated today a few euro’s to show his appreciation for AroundMyRoom ! .. He receives a all-time link at the donaters side on this weblog. Punkey is dutch so he is the first one from my home-country to donate. Awesome! finally ;-)
Do you want to have an all-time link? Show your appreciation! Donation is simple, nice, affordable and easy. Will you be the next one?
Dutch Speed Traps RSS feed
Another unique RSS feed at scrapedfeeds.com: The Dutch Road Check Speed traps RSS feed. Keep updated through RSS where they check your speed on the road.
So this will save you money. Donate ;-)
Prophecy August 2003: RSS in Holland
I predict that in the next few months more and more NEWS sites will implement the feeds, so that there is no need for scraping anymore
Kewl I was right.. [finally]
Okay: scraping is still needed but rss is getting more mainstream. Thank you for this!
Blogging is Booming
And so is the potential for smart marketers who embrace this high-traffic phenomenon.
Uhm…
Do I agree?
AroundMyRoom has almost everyday new content. Fresh and not found everywhere (the links) .. But donations to live from the Weblog: no not possible in no way. I’ve not seen any donators from my home-country (or it’s my brother in law who donated 1 euro last year) yet.
Marketeers? No .. Google Adsense would not have me last year cause I was Dutch. And although my weblog was / is english; they did not accept it. (experiment from the low-lands). Other countries and people: no problem (similar websites)
I have a few nice Donaters (you can find their names somewhere in the left-side). They helped me (last year: 2003) to pay a little bandwidth/hosting bill but further: nope I did not and am not able to have this service running from donations *yet*
even the ‘Scrapedfeeds.com‘ which is running as a free news rss/xml aggegrator is still without any donator. People love to get things for free (no blame to them). So if people say you can earn money with you blog: tell me how ;-)
So blogging is booming, please donate.

Free HotSpot (wireless)
Today I found public-ip. A free hotspot software package.
1 ISO, boot from CD, Linux is started, enter your ID and I run a hotspot with authentication through public-ip.net.
AWESOME, finally I can protect our internet connection from people using my accesspoints without that I know it. (As we test a lot of AccessPoints we do have mainly no encryption active). Due to this my people need to have free access but other departments I want to keep out. WEP, or SSID is than no option.
People from Public-IP.net: Awesome and kewl job you did !
grmbl ..
My home dsl line seems to be disconnected.. Damn :-(
And i needed info from scrapedfeeds.com
Oh well .. as it is a hobby project without earning money from it: it can be offline. But why? I’ve no clue yet
