Ready…Set…Go!

May 1st, 2007

Today I was in the Kitchen doing the dishes and from the living room I heard “Reay…et…Ohhh” then the pitter patter of little feet as Perrin jogged around the room in some imaginary race.

“ready, set, go” was not something I taught him, and after talking to Amanda it was not something she did either… The only thing we can think of is that he got it from some Cartoon.

I’m unsure if this means he he watching too much TV or if this is just normal…but whatever it is, it’s CUTE.

Necronomicon

May 1st, 2007

As many of you are aware I have had an interest in the Necronomicon, Cthulhu Mythos, and various deities from the Sumerian Pantheon. While my writings on it have been rather lax over the last year or so, it still holds a special place in my heart. I’ve had a webpage dealing with it for two years now with only a slight upgrade since I moved down here to Tennessee. That is changing!

I have completely reformatted my Necronomicon page, and have tweaked out much of it’s content. Before it was little more then a copy/paste job from various forum posts. I’ve removed most (all?) references to that now and made it more fitting for an actual website. If you have an interest in it, then by all means check it out :D

Sumerian & Cthulhu Mythos

I still have a few more articles for conversion, but those are still in need to some tweaking. I also have other magickal and mundane musings which will be placed in another section of my site. Either way though, I’m one step closer to having a half way decent site…

Enjoy,

ASCII Art

April 26th, 2007

I have been slowly reworking this domain, not the blog, I mean the core pages (www.qryztufre.com) and have thus far not gotten very much done, but I have gotten the most difficult part out of the way. The ASCII pages!

Please check it out, even if you’ve seen the previous versions of it. I think the black/green format on all the pages rather then most really sets it off.

Also, if you stumble, please give the Celtic Cross a thumbs up… I’m trying to make it go viral so I’ll be popular :lol:

Thanks!

Happy Easter!

April 26th, 2007

This last weekend was VERY nice, especially when compared to the last few months. As when the weather started to get warm we ran around like headless chickens, getting chickens, cleaning house, cleaning the yard, planting, tending to the plants, clearing out the flower beds, running errands, and more. We were so busy at times we often thought our days would never end. This weekend started off no different.

Friday I stayed at Amanda’s to watch Perrin so that Cyndi could get out of work a bit early to swing by the bank and to pay a few bills. It was a decent change because it was warm out so Perrin and I got a chance to play outside. The better majority of our time playing consisted of Perrin telling me “bye” while he tried to get his bigwheel to take him to some far off land. At one point we found that a bigwheel and a hill make for a lot of fun…well, fun till the house gets in the way. (wanna see?)

After Cyndi picked me up we did some more running around, then came home to clean house as we were planning on having a lot of people over. This was not so bad, as we did have most of it ready. Saturday was pretty much the same as Friday night, though we did pick up Lakota on our way to the Amish Market. We also ran by Lowes to pick up a new BBQ grill

Lakota came back home with us and she did her part in helping us clean up the rest of the yard and a few odds and ends in the house, though I made sure that I set some time aside for us to “play” as he last several visits consisted of her working her tail off.

After a long day of cleaning, then playing (which I’ll talk about more in a bit), we both slept like bricks (bricks can sleep right?)

Blah, I actually wrote all that Monday…and here it is Thursday, and I’ve yet to post it. So I’ll just let the videos tell the rest of the tail (guess which are from Friday & which are from Sunday).

I’ll likely get to updating more often. I’ll just need to make the time ;)

Spam CAN taste good

April 19th, 2007

I am an evil evil person and should by rights be tied down and flogged…you see I support SPAM on certain levels and have been spamming people for months now. Though, I try my best to do it with tact & taste. How you say? Well, I just be myself, and in being myself, I just type what comes naturally…and in doing so, if I want to talk about something I have an interest in, I might as well get paid right? 

Well, there are other ways of spamming someone that could get them to not notice. Like your forum signature, or even just being a friendly member.

Forum members are some of the pickiest users on the web when it comes to ads and advertising, to get them to click on an ad is like trying to get skeeters to bite someone bathed in OFF!. Subtly works best, and being helpful works even better. 

I’ve been a member of forums that have had ads plastered in the headers, footers, and even a side bar…some of these forums I’ve been a part of for years, and never once have I ever clicked on any ad. Well, I guess I have, but I’m talking one click in thousands of page loads. That kind of CTR is horrible!

On the flip side, I have clicked many member’s signatures. I’m also prone to check out member websites, and sometimes if a member that’s been around for a while points something out in a post, I’ll gladly click. I like to assume I’m not alone in this anti-ad mindset, but still willing to click an actual suggestion. 

With that in mind, I’ve taken the liberty of mentioning a new tips and tricks based on the things I’ve seen happen, and the things I’ve actually done myself. If this does place me as evil, then so be it…but keep in mind, my goal in this evil is to be relevant and helpful, for ALL involved. So while in the end it really is ME ME ME on the surface it’s helping out everyone.
