SmokeFreeJapan.com

Finally got around to the first stage of SmokeFreeJapan.com's makeover. The blue is only a spaceholder for now. I have a pretty cool idea for a layout in my head.

I'f you're living in Japan or interested in the hospitality industry, check it out and subscribe to the feed. I'm going to be focusing quite a bit of my energy on that site this year to supply the non smokers in Japan with a source of sanity and also hopefully to earn me some cash so I can start blogging full time and work from home.

Again, I realise it's pretty bland right now, but I promise it'll pick up.

Making Money with Google and Mozilla Firefox

Google recently posted this interesting article about new and improved referrals resources for those trying to make money by refering visitors to Firefox (a browser I personally love and reccomend to all my visitors) but it really seems like a kind of bait and catch.

While I personally love Google and have nothing but good comments to say about Adsense I'm just so paranoid about having my whole account closed down for letting myself type in "Click on this Link" above a referral button despite the fact they say we now can. I want to... but their general rules are so strict I'm not sure I will.

I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks about this new policy. Anyone else as paranoid as me?

Look at Moiy!

Well work's started again (did on Wed) so I have a lot less free time and a little less energy. Have requested the same hours but with a a four day work week instead of a five day for my next contract year starting in March. Hope it gets approved. I know one guy with a three day work week but he gets 12 hour days... not sure if it'd be worth it or not.

DarkHorizons.com has posted (as well as other sites) about the news that Kath and Kim will be getting a wonderful American version made for US audiences. Of course the characters and lingo will change but Gina Reily and .... crap forgot her name are still on as producers so I'm curious as to what it'll be like. Have to make sure to tell Kat and John about this.

In site news, have been toying around with a new layout which will give this blog a brand new look. I can't tell you how much this current brown layout is shitting me to tears.

Be patient!
