Google AdSense works!

Today, I have finally managed to visit my bank. I asked the clerk to deposit money from the Google’s check and the whole thing took like 2 minutes. I am impressed. Not only the whole thing worked, but money came in order and it happened that they reached me in the best possible time ever.

Needless to say that money from the website do encourage me to dedicate more time to it. So, don’t be shy and by all means check links that Google ads provide on every page of this blog. Either you will find something interesting that is related to what you are looking at already, or you will drop a few cents to my account, or both.

Thank you.

First check from Google AdSense

Today I have received the first check from Google AdSense. While these are good news, I am not shouting “WoooHooo!” unless I will cash it. I am not very experienced when it comes to checks and I don’t know how well the system works. I will visit my bank on Monday and will see how it goes. I’ll let you all know immediately when I’ll get the money. Meanwhile, please keep clicking on the ads of interest…

Trackbacks

I am currently very interested in trackbacks. I have read a few of documents about them here, here, and here. I am starting to get an idea, but until I will send one and receive one, I will not be sure.

NucleusCMS has a plugin for trackbacks, but it has no user guide. I have set up a small form for sending trackbacks to me an linked it to all posts in my blog. Can anyone try to send me a trackback ping and let me know if it works? Or if I get it right at all… Meanwhile, I’ll find someone to ping myself.

It takes me more than 30 minutes to completely understand the technology and that can mean only one of two things: either the technology is overdesigned and complicated, or I am getting old. Feel free to suggest a third option.

Update (05 Dec 2004 16:31): I have figured it out and reconfigured everything the right way. Minor usability enhancements might follow, but nothing major is expected from where I stand.
