What about those of us running Firefox? I've never even seen ad ad here. It might not be a bad idea to add donation instructions to the FAQ page. PayPal is of the devil as far as I'm concerned, but they are a simple, one-click way to get some financial support. Having a PO Box so folks can send in checks or concealed cash is a good idea, too.

If you're expecting pop ups, they don't have them here.  If you look at the top and bottom of each page, you'll see the ads we're talking about.  They're not that obvious.  Thank God.

Crazy or not, I WILL say that the click-fees from today are quite a big bigger.

Most excellent.  I snagged a couple more Border's coupons.  I got paid today.

Yay!

but how many time can I click and they count, or do I have to buy something from the site

No, you don't have to buy anything.

Yeah, just click on the ads.  I click on the Borders ads.  You get 20% off coupons that way.

I don't have your resources, but it looked to me as if we started getting an increase in members and guests a few days before the book came out, and it looks as if your graph bears that out.  This is a good thing for JB, and if people will click on the freaking ads, a good thing for you.

Thanks for everything, Fred.  You rock.

That is the single best piece of logic I have ever read,(shows how messed up it i in my head) By the way i believe the tread has bee hijacked again.

I call NOT IT !!

Of course it was hijacked.  I freaking hijacked it myself, then lacked the will to get it back on track.  This always happens to me.  Eventually, Fred will notice it and move it to McAnally's.

And yeah, I'm rather proud of that bit of logic myself.

Heh. *nods*

Helen - did Hawthorn not empty the dishwasher again? Why are you opting to punish her with making a scultpure?

Hawthorn has apparently forgotten we have a dishwasher.  I think the best way we can show our love for Priscellie is to make Hawthorn do something she hates, with love.

She so rocks.  Maybe we should get Hawthorn to do a sculpture in her honor.

Thanks, Priscellie.  You really are a Goddess.

pssst...Helen.... I have s'more Insta-Hunk if you need it..... pina colada's might give the guy a nice, sexy accent....

Yeah?  I don't think Priscellie knows what that is.  She might object to a hunky male suddenly showing up in her pants.

I see I've managed to hijack my own freaking thread.  After I put "the unhijacked version" in the title and everything.  I am completely unable to not hijack a thread.

*brings in a 80inch plasma screen TV, speakers, DVD player, and cables to hook everything, including the CD player, into it*

The Priests from Weird will be by to hook everything up for you.

Crashes seem to happen when the website makes too many heavy demands on the software and database and CPU vs. the "quotas" placed on those and other limitations, so the software just gives up and says "I can't take no more!"

Recovery is basically getting access to the tools on the machine where that software runs and beating them with a virtual wrench until it coughs out some puffs of smoke and gets back to puttering along.

Speaking of which, Pris beat on the site twice more yesterday.  She's really doing an astonishingly great job with this.  Folks should shower her with praise and, hell, presents. :)

I gave her virtual candy yesterday-does that count?  Of course, I was probably doing something I shouldn't have been at the time, but that doesn't really matter.  The important thing is I gave her candy.  Right?

In all seriousness, Priscellie really is a Goddess.  I tell her this all the time.

Not much difference in the number of clicks, though I think that the increase in impressions has increased the overall value ascribed to those clicks -- it's looking like a couple more $ per day as a result.  That said, I wouldn't turn down more. :)

I grabbed a few more Border's coupons and clicked on some weird crap just for the hell of it.

Make that 5 or 6 crashes, Fred! :D

Methinks dedicating the book to the forum-going fans may have been ill-advised, as far as our little server is concerned. :D

I only noticed three.  Perhaps I have more of a life than I realized.
