Off the Deep End

June 12, 2003

Well, I went ahead and created a Google AdWords campaign for Less Than Slash, just to test the water. So if you search for "XHTML" on Google (among a few other key phrases), you will see an ad for Less Than Slash.

There isn't a link to the appropriate search in this article because each click actually costs money - between $0.05 and $0.10. There is a cap, so only so many clicks can happen per day before the ad shuts off. This should work out alright because Google reports how many clicks they expect you to get per day, and this number times the cost per click is below my daily budget. So anyway, if you go there, just look at the pretty ad, but don't click on it, since you already know where to go to get LTS.

RPG Purity Test

June 11, 2003

I like this one if only for the true/false question: “Have you ever killed one of your PCs because of metagame purposes? (‘This guy has crap stats, and this game stinks. So, Avarax the Marauder leaps into the thresher!’)" Boy, this is a very long purity test.http://www.theferrett.com/rpg/

Cat Outfits

June 10, 2003

Dress up your cat in one of these swank Japanese outfits that you assemble yourself! I kind of like the “Anne’s Housekeeper Package” one, but none of these would look good on our cats. Nor would they wear them. And, yes, I’m insane.http://www.petoffice.co.jp/catprin/english/

Daddy and Abby Night

June 10, 2003

On Monday nights Berta goes to bowling with some people from work, and Abby and I get to hang out.

Berta was making dinner when I got home from work, and so I took Abby out front to play a little bit. I chased her around the tree and back to the bench where Abby was "safe". We played this kind of "I'm gonna get you" base tag for a while until dinner was almost done. In the middle of our play (and much to Abby's dismay), I noticed that the old lady next door was out with her weed killer again.
