PS3 & The Media Rich Internet

Posted In: Online Fun, Jenn-ish Stuff — by Jenn

If anyone out there in internet land has a list of streaming video/TV, etc internet sites that will work with a PS3 (PlayStation 3)’s internet browser, please, oh please, leave me a comment.

You-Tube is just about the ONLY site/player that actually plays when visiting through your PS3’s internet browser. Its very frustrating. You would think a media & entertainment giant like Sony would have a kick-ass internet browser to put into their kick-ass gaming console, but alas… even the Flash version is out of date.

I have read that this summer Sony plans to launch some sort of online/PS3/video type service, but don’t know much beyond that. If that falls through, I hope to at least see some updates released to the browser & other media capability upgrades sometime soon.

Phone = Echhuk

Posted In: Jenn-ish Stuff — by Jenn

I am a bit (justa bit!) of a recluse, and an artist, and a web designer. I love creating prettiness with my computer, and immersing myself in nice, safe, calming computer code. I LOVE the lack of actual, live, out-loud talking to other people.

I hate talking on the phone. Let me repeat that - I HATE talking on the phone. (I’m not the only designer to feel this way aparently, as I was very glad to find out today). Talking in person or via phone freaks me out, (client-wise). It stresses me out, I end up sounding like a moron most of the time, stamering, stuttering, uum-ing a lot. I am painfully shy, I am quiet, I am a bit of a weirdo artistic eccentric that way.

And live, in-person meetings nearly make me throw up. I can stress about those for weeks in advance.

I attempted this whole freelance, web design thing because it meant I could hide out behind my screen, in my own house, and just email people instead of talking to them in person (even via phone). I have days where I can barely live-talk to my friends, let alone the people who know me only in a business capacity, or who have never met me.

I will promise a pretty website that works well, loads fast, and looks spiffy, fast tech support if you break stuff after I make it, and quality hosting. I will reply to all your emails and all your questions (I DO have an answering machine - and if you leave me a message on that answering machine - I promise you will get an emailed reply), and YES - I am still here, watching your website’s back. I just won’t answer my phone when you call if you scare me & I can’t handle phone conversation that day. The end. Sorry….

I am a computer nerd. So please, please, don’t call me and expect me to talk, just email me instead, typing = so much easier.

Advertise This…

Posted In: Online Fun, My Site Network — by Jenn

Ok, remember my advertiser network search from a while ago? Probably not….anyhoo, I settled on AdBrite, as they offered what I wanted from an ad server, and seemed to make me an acceptable amount of moolah.  Things have changed since then.

My earnings have steadily fallen from nearly $40 in my first month, to only $4 in April, despite the increase to the number of ads that I display everyday & clicks made to those ads.

I have also noticed that instead of displaying actual advertising that I will earn money from, AdBrite likes to advertise itself by displaying the generic “Advertise on This Site” link, which I earn nothing from. Nice.

They also pull in third party ads from other networks (I’m assuming these other networks then pay AdBrite to display ads), I make next to nothing, and cannot control what third party ads display, and more often than not - it is crap like “girls gone wild” etc, even though I have set my blocks up for “family friendly” ads only. Apparently our views on “family friendly” differ just a smidge.

Not to mention they decided one ad block out of five placed on Comic Candy should be an “adult ad network” ad block, and so I now get to turn down one to two advertisers per week who what to display porn ads on Comic Candy and pay me on average $0.05 per 1,000 views - ummm let’s see here…..no.

Long story short - its quickly becoming NOT WORTH the trouble & the piddly $4 per month that I guess I’m making to display this much advetising on my personal websites.

All Done!

Posted In: Updates — by Jenn

With the exception of repairing the code/affiliate display for Anjelic, the server move is complete, all sites are functioning (better than ever, I might add), all fanlistings are once again taking/displaying members…and everyone I host is once again getting their email!

Yay! Ah, sweet relief….maybe I won’t develop an ulcer this month after all.

Almost Done

Posted In: Online Fun, My Site Network — by Jenn

I have successfully switched all but two of my listings over to Enth3. The last two are Nightcrawler & Anjelica Huston, both of which reside on their very own domains.

So that should be oodles of fun to get working right.

Oh, and then I have to add all 5 bazillion of my affiliates to enth; and for some reason, my phpcodeosrt installation has gone nuts too.

To top it off, I’m still getting emails at least a couple times a day telling me certain processes on my new server had to be restarted because they failed. Why are they failing so often? WHY?? argh…
