Yesterday I added a spammer to the blacklist and it seemed to have blocked everyone and anyone from posting a comment on the blog. I emptied the blocklist now and everything is back to normal. Sorry about that.

Cool, just realized that this is my 1000th post.

Blog Stats
There are currently 1000 posts and 2,908 comments, contained within 49 categories.

I posted my first post on February 19th which means that I have been blogging for 206 days. 1000 posts in 206 days means I post on average around 5 posts a day.

I am currently updating the website’s theme slightly. If things look a bit off its because its not final yet.

Here is a link to something I am working on, its kinda like safat except it grabs feeds from some of my favorite sites. https://feeds.mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com/

Its still in beta testing.

Yes I am on vacation and its my first since the winter of 2003. But, its only a 1 day vacation, I just took Thursday off and will be back to work on Saturday. So till then, I don’t think I will post anything on 2:48AM.

I found time recently to post more adsense banners in my other sites and so far the results have been pretty cool. So far in 9 days I have made $61. So thats around $6.5 per day on average which means $2372 a year. Not bad but not enough to get me to retire. Need to find a way to make a lot more then this.

So far in 7 days I have made $20.32 via the Google Adsense program. It doesn’t sound much but at this rate I should be able to make over $1000 a year if my websites don’t get more popular. I have placed the google ads on 248AM.com and Miskan.com but I receive the bulk of visitors on my other older sites. I am thinking of expanding even and placing ads on more of my sites. So far I am impressed with Adsense. [Link]

As some of you may have noticed I placed a Google Ad on the right column of my blog. I also placed some ads on various other sites of mine after I read someone made $10,000 a month from these ads. After placing the Ads on my site yesterday afternoon, today I checked the stats and it seems I made around $1.25. Its nothing close to $10,000 a month but say I make $1.5 per day, in a year thats around $550. Its what I call fun money, little money you make which you can buy gadgets with. Its easy money but I really want to make $10,000 a month.. [Link]

The blog was down from yesterday evening due to technical difficulties. Everything is back to normal again now.

Today I will be updating the sites theme so you might come in a find things looking normal and you might find things looking strange. Be patient with me because I don’t have a lot of free time to work on this but I am trying my best to get it working the looking the way I want it to. Thanks.

I just changed the website’s theme awhile ago. It’s similar to the old one and derived from the Miskan one. I find this new one tidier and visually more attractive. I will work on it a bit more later also to improve it.

Update: This is not the final look, fonts, colors and banner might change, feedback though is appreciated. Also if things look strange, like if the font looks ugly, do a hard refresh .

Update 2: I put the old theme back up since I didn’t have time to work on the new one tonight. Will try to find time to work on the new theme tomorrow again.
