Last post of the night I think. I have now drained all my ideas into Nerd Federation, and also it’s getting late and I am getting tired. There are several other reasons including TV listings, things to do, etc but I am not going to go into them right now. In fact probably not ever. But anyway I should stop this paragraph before it turns into total waffle.
So anyway I need more domains! I really think I have a problem as I am unable to stay still – all I want to do is buy a new domains! With good reason though I want to create a niche website such as a celebrity fan site or something I just cannot decide what to do it on. So use the comments system to send be feedback of what I should do it on. Claims I am crazy and shouldn’t buy more domains should be ignored ;).
I was thinking of doing a new movie site but I don’t think there is a market for it unless I can really put into it, do loads of reviews, etc. A tech site would also be good but I think if I am going to get a new domain it should be a niche site with regular updated and see how well it can do. I am even interested in selling a few sites to make some cash and everything.
My main idea is to do a Michelle Branch fansite though I am not sure she is going to be big enough. I love Michelle Branch and her music but lets face it, she is no Britney yet anyway and I am not sure she ever will be. Any other ideas or even reassurance Michelle Branch would be a good choice. I want your opinions!
Yay, after an hour or so of more work on trying to get the ASP.net rewrite engine demo that I got working I finally managed to sort it. There are a few problems that I am not too happy about though. For a start any URL you want to rewrite has to end in .aspx so that the aspx engine kicks in. I guess I should have seen that coming.
I have a few other problems, one of which I emailed my web host about. I am waiting for them to get back to me as I write this. Hopefully some rewriting will be possible soon though in a site that I will actually make use of it.
I was also looking into alternatives though. The best seems to be ISAPI Rewrite http://www.isapirewrite.com which looks really good and lets you use regular expressions which I began to train myself up on. However at a $70 price tag I don’t think my webhost will be installing it unless I pay for it and the free lite version only supports entire server configurations which would not be usable for me.
Still, pick your battles, I managed to get the basic rewrite engine working so hurray!
Hmm, I managed to insert the last resource without any problems. From my years of computer experiance though is never to think the problem has gone away as it’s sodds luck that as soon as you do, the problem will return. Anyway the end result is I managed to get the screenshot into my last post about Rawpulse getting indexed by Google.
I do have a point to make that I keep forgetting though – Nerd Federation now has an archive. Until recently we didn’t have more than 15 posts therefore everything could be seen from the homepage. However this will be the 19th posts which means that the first four will no longer be visible on the homepage once this post is made.
Of course the material is still available. If you check the archives, you can see all the posts for this month, in this case July 2004, by clicking the link which sas July 2004 – it’s pretty much self explanitory ;). Eventually this list should increase as each month we should get a new listing I think, ie August 2004, September 2004 and so on.
The truth is though I have never used this script before so I don’t really know. There are some demos in the site though so I might have a look and see what it is like. It will be a good system although the links might get a bit long after a few years – if we are still around after a few years of course lol.
Congratulations to JD, as Googlebot has finally visited Rawpulse! We have been waiting for GoogleBot to visit for months without success until now.� It’s about time too, we are still at a loss as to why Google hasn’t visited before as Rawpulse was submited in like March or April or something. But the most important thing is that it is in now.
Recently I also launched a games site named Gamer Forge. The script is pretty good as it all appears static and has an intergrated forums though I have a bit of a hole in the area of new games – the latest game I have played in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
A few days ago though I did a search for RawPulse on Google. Below is the screenshot of the results I got:
Sorry, this image is no longer available.
It’s crazy! Gamer Forge was indexed within 24 hours of it being submitted to Google. It did have a link from Worfolk Online (http://www.worfolkonline.com) though which must be climbing the page rank ladder as many of my sites point to it, being the hub of my network. The real question is, did Rawpulse get a visit from GoogleBot due to the link on Gamer Forge lol?
Bah, just when the site was going well, we are hit with problems. I am getting signed out when I try to add resources. I might try it in Firefox as at the moment I am using IE – the HTML editor that comes with the Nerd Federation script is not currently supported for my current browser Beonex, so all I get is a plain text editor.
Maybe everything will turn out already then again maybe it won’t. Without resources would be pretty sucky but the most important bit is the text I guess so I still be able to post this. I am guessing ceon and rawpulse will still be able to do everything fine too.
Ah well, I have missed quite a bit so I best make a few posts to make sure there is plenty of content. Speaking of content I managed to finish the Tokyo Journal recently. I still have next issue to do though as I have only a week or two until it is due out – it is just none stop even though it is summer. Still once my family heads off to France I should be able to chill.
I actually have quite a bit to say although little of it has a point. Still it should fill our some quality posts. This one was basically padding lol, to space it out a bit. A lot of posts and my writing are these days however but expect a lot of posts over the next few hours to a day.
Well day too if the super learning crap is over. Today we were at Leeds Met doing team building activities despite the fact we were brought there on the pretence that we were going to be learning about going to university. Still the day is over and tommorow is just a morning thing hopefully with all the joy of rounders and badminton and the actual fun of basketball.
Ok so let’s find a point to this blog post. Today has been pretty empty of ideas really. I got reading an old copy of MSDN Magazine though learning how to create a balloon usiing applications writen in C++. It looks pretty complex but after trying to tackle a .net rewrite engine Iam ready for anything. So in short there is very little to talk about.
I have some photos of the university which I might upload if I get time. I have a bit of video too but I didn’t get too much. I need to learn to turn the flash off as we got caught cheating with my digital camera. Ok so I am going to round this up with a final thought – if you end up on the edge of a point the point will be a sharp edge.
Well thanks to Temple Moor getting shunned by the last Offsted report as a cultural blackhole, we were forced into a day of dance today. Teachers kept bragged we got to do this while everyone else had normal lessons but the thing they didn’t seem to realise is that we would have prefered to do normal lessons that all this dancing. Especially as I only have three lessons on a Monday.
The super learning days are not over yet thought, there is another two to go – a trip to Leeds Met tommorow and interform sporting activities on Wednesday. Wow, it is going to be a long week. I did manage to get some photos from today though.
As a trivia point, this is post 15 – after this one posts will be getting pushed off the homepage. But anyway – the photos:

Well it’s Monday morning and I am pretty tired considering I got up at 7, left the house at half seven and walked all the way to Carl’s and back before arriving at school and eight thirty. Still at least there is only three days of school left. Today is the day of dance – more on that later including photos, horror stories and twisted ankles.
But anyway the real subject of this post is summer plans. It was going to be filming – lots of filming. But lack of scripts have put us back.
Also I was hoping I would have a car by now as Craig takes two hours to get here on the bus. Even though he says he can get here in thirty minutes. Maybe though script writing should be factored into our production time. We also have storage problems considering how much space video takes up but I am sure we will figure something out. And by figure something out I mean sleep through summer. Sounds like a plan.
Although it has been around for ages, Maze Radio was not officially launched – that is until now. The homepage now offers links, the streaming audio works and plans are being put into, well actually, more plans are being drawn up. Whatever, it gives the overall effect that Maze Radio is now once again in motion. It’s it just so exciting!
You can now listen online. There is also information about the radio station and a forum. It’s still phpBB subSilver at the moment there is no integration or customisation at all. But it will come with time. There is also a link to Nerd Federation as many of our Maze Radio hosts are also part of Nerd Federation so we are using this as our official blog base :).
What’s with the re-activation of Maze Radio. Well it’s mainly down to my new found facination with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. As well as the fact I am totally addicted to the game I just love Pressing Issues on Vice City Public Radio. I found myself just leaving the game running on my laptop so I could listen to the show. Then two things occured to me – one we should have a cool talk radio show like that. Two I happen to operate a talk radio station.
And so I decided to try and breathe new life into Maze Radio. We need listeners so get everyone you know and many more people who you don’t know listening to the show. If you have any ideas for topics too, feel free to post them in the comments section below.
I said I would eventually get the stuff together and thanks to some quality nagging I have actually done it. Last Friday myself, JD and Andy put together our new rivial for the Dot Net Show on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/theshow/) hosted by the almighty Robert Hess. I think once you watch it though (not that we are going to be putting it online though lol) you will see its the best show ever.
Today is Sunday so only two days gap I don’t think is bad for me. Out of interest, today is Hooton’s birthday (I think) so happy b-day Hooton. Your now older than JD for exactly a month. Anyway so back to the subject, we did manage to get a picture of the crew…
Sorry, this image is no longer available.
From left to right – myself with the trademark headphones, Andy at the back and JD on the right.
We also plan to bring you a host of new shows including Who show Carl S? and the Carlman show.
