KoolTorch - but dmoz is dead isn't it?

KoolTorch

seriously, a rather interesting concept - and dmoz was once the great filler of new searches - a stockpile of goodies for the less than populated ... but isn't it a bit dead?

what would be a good open source-ish alternative or replacement?

the non-starter, beef, spamlet, cheese cracker and strobe light

tonight i thought it might be fun to just write a title for my blog - and then fill in the gaps with whatever comes to mind or whim... so let us sally forth (is that how you spell that? i think no).

the non-starter
i suppose my who Y311 post was a non-starter, and my post about ANSmith and her sad death (sorry to all of those who keep finding that post as a top result in searches - i was just a bit frustrated when i wrote it and my sense of humor/satire is a bit rough at the edges from time to time) ... anyway, it surely was a non-starter too.

maybe a few things you might not have seen on the internet before - well maybe? like non-starter found on this search and that search and this little search over here.

beef
what can i say about beef? one can have a beef with something or someone and yet there are some who simply have a beef with beef. yet? what is the origin or etymology of the word "beef" i mean where does it come from? i don't know - do you? "..., beef is cognate with the modern French bœuf, meaning cow." who knew? and who knew there was such a term as "bully beef" - i didn't and i still am uncertain as to what it means - boiled beef maybe? but how does one use the term? "i so dislike that bully beef headed goon." which begs the whole question of the origin of the word "goon" probably not PC and probably something i'll just leave unanswered (comment answers welcomed).

spamlet
seriously, i just made the term up - and we'll turn to the almight oprah of search engines: google for that question: "does the phrase "spamlet" already exist and does it already have a meaning?" if not? what great meaning(s) can we give to such a rich and glorious phrase?

well, after googling the term - i am somewhat non-plused - even a bit sorry to have brought or thought it up (obviously not originally) - what a waste of a good word. to me, it would either mean a "small insignificant piece of processed meat" or "a form of comment spam using under 10 words" - now that's what i'd call a spamlet.

cheese cracker
definition: a term of ancient origin, the village champion of breaking cheesewheels in yearly festivals marked by feats of strenght and endurance and of course the celebration of cheese. an honorific title.

now, let's see if that makes it to answers.com or elsewhere - thus cementing the power of moi to have a voice in this world concerning meaningless matters.

strobe light
images are sought - can one good one be found? no? yes? maybe?


oh, well. i tried something new ... and this is all i got?!!!

well, this post certainly was a non-starter and my whole beef with it is that spamlet was lame; cheese cracker seems to lack definition; and strobe light images on the internet are sadly just images of either actual lights or drunken stupi... students... and no real strobe lights in effect to be seen.

i had to come back and add this little edit. i did find some korean koolness in this little add on one of the searches used in this post:

Y311

i am sitting here at 11:30-ish on march 10, 2007 - just a little bit before the brilliant idea of doing daylight savings time early comes into effect. the smirk on my face is this rather odd thought of the Y2K scare of everything going bezerk and the world coming apart on new years day when all the computers would surely fail and bring the world to its knees.

why the smirk? i don't know, just a combination of silly thoughts - unconfirmed and born out of my imagination.

i wonder if part of the reasoning behind getting people to do more in daylight hours has something to do with global warming hysteria?

  • i wonder if the offset of one hour - unplanned and not pre-set might actually cause some sort of computer, server, global shudder to run through the world many things that depend upon tech to keep them going?
  • planes delayed
  • rolling black outs
  • frustrated bloggers
  • grid lock
  • system failures
  • prison doors opening
  • tv sets growing hair
  • monkeys wearing hats
  • cats and dogs living together
  • pandelirium
  • mass hysteria
  • food fights
  • etc.
  • and so forth...

anyway, i doubt any of this will happen ...

the smirk? it's really probably just the burrito i had for dinner.

hockey or trafficswarm

sorry, no hockey in this post - so i suppose it's the swarm

yes, i happen to use one of the older - more trusted traffic generators out there:



why? because it works - and it's kinda easy to use. instead of the rotating pages of most traffic sites - you get a pages with 8 ads and links on them - giving you anywhere from 1 to 5 credits per click (then there's the 50 and 200 credit easter eggs hidden along the way).

i find that blogs and non-typical (ie. not money making scheme sites) sites do quite well on getting clicks and/or conversions on trafficswarm.

a wee little secret - if you're a blogger - or use one of the many blog or other traffic sites out there - you can advertize blogmad or blogexplosion (or whatever) and build a pretty sweet downline and more readers.

i'll be brutally honest. i just signed up for these things to write a blog post or an article or two about traffic generation - and now a year later i am still using and getting traffic from trafficswarm. plus, i don't use it only for this blog - but for new sites i build or help others with.

50353 hits from trafficswarm - not too bad for a few clicks here and there.







no mention of hockey is made in this post ... well two maybe :-) but really nothing more. try this: hockey you'll like it... and if you wanna see the cool interface of keotag then go to keotag and enter the search term hockey. you will be pleased with the results.

» Microsoft to charge for Daylight Saving hotfixes for older products | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com as pointed out to me by the friend who emailed this bit of news ... let me just quote him, cuz he said it better:
"What I want to know is that if this gracious lowering of the regular retail price equates to "just covering costs", is Microsoft saying that a 10,000% markup on their software is the norm???

Aye Carumba!"


that's all, dettonville south.

counting on five pingers or 5 pings for you

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

autopinger IMG
ripped from the pages of autopinger: "We will show you the actual ping response from the servers rather than success or failure as this will make more sense to you. The percentage beside each service indicates its ping success rate, you can check out ping health of these services. To ping, just enter your blog details and click Start Ping :-) Be sure to check our recent pings to make sure that your blog has been successfully pinged!"

you can sign up and get an autopinger button as well. not sure the benefit - but it's there for those who feel a need, a need for ping!

pingomatic IMG
it still lives and breaths and works, an old standby in the world of ping services ... ping ping ping...

pingoat IMG
hey man, when this was new it was bigger, quicker, and cooler than them all. it's here for the trying... never fully got the goat part - but then again after looking at picasso's works for years - i never got why he sketched and painted so many goats either ... still, as my 4 year old tells me, "daddy, we do not trade people for goats!" at the very least you got some sound 4 year old wisdom ... doubt it will make a bumper sticker (in the US at least)...

mypagerank's pinger service IMG
comes with it's own captcha ... so it's gotta be cool. check the side bar for more cool services from this one stop website shop.

blogflux's pinger IMG
a post will be forth coming about "the new and improved blogflux" ... but for now, this top of the line (probably the best) blog directory (with extras) out there has a pinger just for you.

mostbloggers on things ping IMG
hey, why not check out the other posts i've written on pingers and pings for your blog. plus, you'll get to see the excellent master.com addition / search feature you can add to your blog or website with ease. truly an excellent service.

yeah, that was 5 of them (five) and there's a few more hidden in the texis search ...
