The little Inn by the wayside

I had short break from work and I came back with aching throat. #$%^!!

. Oh, and I had small flood in my bathroom and all is left now is medium-sized dry spot on the ceiling... I wonder how much of the water is still inside wall...

Ever got such a big throat ache that can make you cry everytime you swallow saliva? And you were at work? It's gone now, but I was close to suicide.

Thankfully, I've avoided that throat thing so far this winter, but I am very prone to the exact condition you describe. Still, it was nothing compared to that ugly tooth ache last year...

Just wanted to announce that the interview wit James Whitehead (developer of The New Satan Sam) is up.

Oh and Maz, is there a reason why Prodigal interview is always shown as the big one? I thought it was due to "latest added" or something but it seems it isn't...

Maz · Post by **Maz** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 17:34

It actually is 'latest first'. But for that to work you must actually fill the adding time too

Post by **Chroelle** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 19:31

Hm...then I will try to fill that out in a second. I just got reply from Mark Pay too. (The developer of The Spirit Engine). Did I understand you correct that we can now add more than te first 5 interviews?

Maz · Post by **Maz** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 20:42

Yes you did, and I did correct the addingtime allready.

Post by **Chroelle** » Thu Feb 14, 2008 21:24

Ok, then we can await the next couple of interviews with anticipation. There should be some exciting ones coming in soon.

Also I plan to dedicate myself to doing alot more interviews in the coming time. Mostly because this is something I can do whenever I feel like it, unlike validation or adding games.

Uh... We dont need BADLY pornographic sites advertising on CWF? I'm talking of adultwebcomics available via link from Project Wonderful.

Last night I was fighting with Death who was trying to saw off my neck with her scythe, unfortunately for me she wasnt good at it, so I had to endure the whole process til she gave up. It took her about 4 hours and I was alive and fully conscious all the time. Horrible.

Now I have only small fever, small cough, 1L of water in my nose and general malaise. In other words: I'm ready to get up at 8 and go to work.

Strawberry tea, please.

I clicked it...

but it's slow as hell...

not to mention ugly as sin...

You made me curious and so I looked at it too...

It's true that it's slow, but some of the comics are not that bad. Have seen lots of webcomics that are drawn worse then these...

Hm... I only thought I had those in my Connect-webdesign site. But ok... When I change to a block of three 125x125 ads then I can add protection so that ads not suited for our site will not be displayed. By not suited I mean pornographic.
Some time ago there was some kid that made a website and his ad was him flipping the bird to everyone. I banned his ad within a second or two. never bothered visiting his site. I think that is a weird way to promote your own site... Maybe a way to tell others what you think of theirs, but not your own... (Otherwise that gives a whole new aspect to the term self-loathing.)
But I will look into those ads soon if it is becoming a problem. So far we are getting good ad-moeny in. These last couple of days I stopped advertising our site via PW (just to see what that did to our numbers) and so every cent earned have been a surplus cent... (well if we look away from the fact that I have to pay the hosting bill today and that is around 90€'s or something, and so far I think I am down 250€'s or more on this site.

)- Must mean I love it.

So it seems there is really a connection between the PW advertisements and the number of guests that visit our site. The last few days it dropped down to something between 200 and 250 each day while it was around 400 the weeks before. I wondered about the reason, but it seems now I know...

Yep. Simply testing some advertisement. But I will of course turn on advertisements soon again. And I hope to have made our new ad-footer by then.

Maz · Post by **Maz** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 19:23

Send me the javascripts for the ad boxes you want to add to the footer, and I'll try to add that on monday

Post by **Chroelle** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 22:33

Thanks, thats nice of you, but I feel confident enough doing this, that I feel it would be wasting precisious coder time by handing it over.

I will do it for Spanek, Mazstyle and subsilver, but if you want to do Maz-style yourself then let me know.

I will simply add three 125x125 boxes instead of the current two, and I will make the "your ad here"-sign a sign for connect-webdesign instead. That way people will know who the sponsor is when there is no other sponsors...

Only problem is that I cant make it link to connect-webdesign, since it should link to the place where advertisers can make offers on that adspace....
Hm..I need to figure some things out...

I finally bought a new desk chair today. I got a hurting back when I had to sit on the old for longer than five minutes. I think I spent more time the last months to fumble around with it to make it comfortable for some more minutes than really sitting on it.

Was fighting hard with myself if I should buy a cheap one or spent some more money and have a good one. Finally I bought the expensive one and it's so great. I think I'm never gonna stand up again!!!

So could somebody bring me a beer please? I just can't leave the chair...

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 18:56

Does it have wheels? And a motor? Maybe you won't have to get up again.

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 19:41

And full plumbing system! Gamehunter's chair must have one!

Post by **Chroelle** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 20:42

Oh....The great feeling of a new desk-chair...! Nothing better (well there is - but for the sake of the moment..).
I remember when I got my first office-deskspace set up. I always had an old dining table with a old chair with zero comfortabilityfactor when I lived at home, and when I moved out I had a weird little table squeesed into a corner, BUT then me and Tanja moved up to the old apartement, and we had a huge administrative executive desk put up with two computers, one on ezh side, and two chairs. That was AWESOME! And the two chairs we got out and bought! Nothing left-over from something else. Bought for the purpose of being an office chair.
And then I got my speakers put up. 4 satelites and a subwoofer to blast everything out into space that came anywhere near me when I was playing...
And well... Then came Anna... I am now once mor reduced to a corner of the bedroom with headphones and the chair is rather battered out now, so there is little to no comfort sitting in it....

What was your desk-evolution (and maybe devolution) like?

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 22:22

When I moved away from home, I had an old (at least 60 years old)washed down coffee table for my desk. I soon after got an old, battered, cut up, squeaky nightmare of an office chair, where the wheels fell off if you lifted it... and I had that setup for 10 years!

When I was redesigning the apartment after buying into it, I bought an oak desk and a super comfy office chair, which are still in use. Well, the desk is cluttered and the chair needs to have a few screws tightened, but the setup is still awesome. And surround sound of course.
