OH yes!

(my money's cleared in my adwords account and I can switch on the final test - this is me in my x-wing, boys. this is me flying into the deathstar trench. just you watch that ball of babylonian evil go up at the press of my button...)

I'll keep you informed of the final battle on this post. There's so many cross-disciplines, from adwords, to programming of every other kind, that this story no longer belongs anywhere but the general forum (unless you have one set aside for jedi activity).

i've resumed the campaign, i've changed the words inside it, and i'm running it on just 15pence per day, until I can iron out any ctr problems and be sure that a flood of traffic will not reduce the quality of the url i'm advertising and cause google to force me to spend another £3.50 on YET another domain!

my mistake, i set it at 10p a day, so even more careful. this is precision engineering. when you manufacture dosh, you can't make little slip-ups. otherwise EVERYONE would be manufacturing dosh - i mean if all you needed was a bit of motivation and a computer and the will to "give it a go" - hell, there'd be no difference between forthcoming millions and the great wealth of a paperboy.

i guess i'll have to stop insulting google for a while (seeing as how they're helping me in such a big way). alas. it's such a fun pastime.

(and when i'm back from destroying the deathstar, i think i'll put my real name back on this account - after all, I didn't do anything wrong - if anything, I did a lot of things right).

The initial run seems to have worked, really. Google claims that CTR for "search partners" doesn't influence quality. So the fact that I'm getting 1000s of exposures all on "search partners" and getting all my clicks there at 4p, suggests that my tardis is already flying. That the flow will just carry on as it is, even if I pour 1000s of pounds through. Anyway, doesn't the doctor always have a bit of uncertainty about whether the **** thing works?

Still, I'm running another 42p through for the rest of the night. I THINK i'm already there (that's why i'm changing my avatar already) but i'll come back for a final confirm before heading off to explore space and time - between big gigs, the doctor's always alone, don't worry. That's the life of a timelord, I guess.

I'll put my name back when I have the rest of today's test results. My guess - the tardis is already flying. I've ALREADY left the space and time I was in... but time will tell, as the doctor always says. I guess we'll have to wait another huge stint before we finally get a female doctor, eh?

my tardis she fly! - final signals came in just now at 9pm gmt on tuesday! (i love tuesdays)

and just as she evaporated from the side of reality i was on, a strange message came in... from a rose tyler of long ago, a kind postcard to a lonely doctor. and it was well appreciated.

well... see ya all when i get back from distant times and places - i'll come and post some jobs on the marketplace soon - u can be sure of it... i need a lot of good developers and i know, just by my own presence here, that world class developers get their heads together on this here forum!

first i better go and save the universe a few more times. well, what else are you gonna do with a tardis? sell kebabs?

Well shucks, JV, that's kind, thank you.

In case anyone's thrown off by my new signature with its downbeat "you're in the army now" tone, don't worry, my tardis she still fly! oh yeah. yeah, baby, you might say, if you were mike myers trying to cash in on the inherent comedy of being british in the 60s and 70s.

In one final twist of fate though - my computer is still more or less just a picture frame by my bed, but instead of showing a picture of someone I may well love (but will be tortured by the feelings if i don't just put it behind me) it shows my live 'money-fuel-tardis' counter... my live running log of inbound hits into my money machine, basically. It's sad that this should be the the picture of the loved one at my bedside, but hey... like han solo and jake blues both said, it WASN'T MY FAULT! And anyway. Say she changes her mind one day... somebody's gotta buy school uniforms for the kids, right?

Anyway, as I write this, the hits continue to roll in. So God bless the united planet of earth. Oh yes. One day, we'll see ourselves as a united planet. Israelis and Palestinians living together, marrying each other, having lots of kids and destroying war with the only weapon greater: love itself.

When they legalize it I'll send you some! Just kidding. It's not like it's legitimate to talk openly about the harmless nature of Marijuana/Cannabis Sativa!

Besides, I don't do drugs. I gave up television, macdonalds, cigarettes, booze, all kinds of sick diseased products of babylon!

Anyway me hearties, the reason I have something to add here is that I took a wee look at my "income-from-forums" monitor just now. To do so I just log into my server, type

sh oslo3

and press return, and it tells me the rest. if i wanna count up what i see, i can always do this instead

sh oslo3 | wc -l

and that gives me a rough numerical measure of incoming acitivity

So here it is - I stopped sig-linking on forums completely many many days ago - I did in total merely 100 posts overall, half of which were done in november! And yet, today in feb, the hits continue to come in.

What perturbs me the most is that if instead of my boycott of Israel (and quickly after that my boycott and other legal yet aggressive hostile destructive campaigns againt numerous immoral institutions and entities) I used my forums-list and stanislavskian advertising-marketing trail for personal gain, I'd RAAAKE IT IN. ****. Do I want the money instead? I bet 999/1000 people who ever read this thread would, whether they kid themselves or not, take the money.

The blood of children, Israeli and Palestinian, runs, because of those 999, NOT me. As Pacino says... NEVER ME.

But of course, to say so in my own name would defy sensible behaviour and leave me in the lurch. That's why it's good there are still truly noble people in the world, who don't dirty their hands with the materialism. And if someone has to act on their behalf, let it be me. My hands were born in the dirt. Tardis or not. (And yet it's very definitely not a not - at this stage, my tardis is flying rather well - I shall be on 5k profit per month when the property market does finally reach its bottom! Who then, is the better business decision maker? Me or the world of lunatic greedmerchant fascists? Wasn't it obvious to you when they taught you about hitler at school? THEY LIE when they say "the good die young" - the good always win. That's what they should have told you).

Thank you, I rarely take joy or comfort in a tla, least of all lol, but I like that lol, thanks for it! All's well down here. I came back to let you guys know a couple of things, mainly firstly that I must not post here for a good long while:

not until I've finished the first phase of my boycott (all the forums and blogs), because although I have received warnings etc for being "rude" to "CBWM" I find a lot of the things he says to make my skin crawl it is, to me, so steeped in overt homophobia (which i find rude, maybe I'm gay), chauvinism (which I find rude, maybe I'm a transvestite/transexual?) and racism (which I've learned to switch off to, since it's pretty common online) and no complaints about him have yet, as far as I've seen, led to his rude posts being deleted!

Due to the fact that everywhere I post boycott messages I meet 20 people like him for every one person like Janice above, I'm a little too sensitive to right wing chauvinist people who don't like gay people or foreigners.

The thought that CBWM takes his wife to hooters is a thought which will never leave me, and will never stop disturbing me. It's just about the sickest thing I've heard and anyone I've shared it with has come close to weeping at this very thought.

So until my battle is over I'll leave yall... but don't worry, I'm currently writing an exhaustive, hopefully QUITE succinct (but not hugely) overview of all the various forms of business possible using the internet. Here's the summary of what'll be written and the link to read it...

Quote:
Summary: Part I - overview of the money out here
Increased sales for offline business
Web-based information sites with ad revenue
Web-based information sites with subscription revenue
Peripheral web-based services, business to business

Part II - selling ad space
Affiliate networks, "etc"
The crap stuff - what to avoid

PART III - buying ad space
Trash, Junk, Spam
Mainstream sources - Google
Mainstream sources - everyone else

Part IV - resources
Back end design
Front end design
Front end coding
Back end coding
Online communities
Marketing, public relations, sales

Part V - things to stay away from
Advertising by email bursts
Undervaluing developer norms


http://www.ukusers4u.com/
Anyway, I took great inspiration from receiving more bad reputation from mods for calling CBWM chauvinist but using the same sort of rude language toward him and chauvinists as he has used toward gay people and foreigners and just in the things he says he does in the context of women.

That mailorder business I spoke of - I had to start working on that because my bro didn't really ever strike me as having faith in my internet businesses, alas only because he's not a techie and doesn't really understand much of it {although like many people in that position he is an I.T. analyst of a sort, but most ratrace analysts are dilettantes and most of the experts are out here in the void with me and my tardis}.

To cut the crap out, what I realised is that I can just build a tardis for him and show him how to operate it. So I did - yesterday I already built it for him, now it just needs powering up. I'm building another one for my friend the activist who's spent 10 years showing me in detail what a chauvinist, or racist, or homophobe is and helping me not be like that, as much as poss.

After that there's several more to build. What is a tardis? It's a machine I build for you which produces profit on every penny you feed it and if you want to expand it, make it fast and big, you only need to do a bit of easy labour which is described in the instructions which come with your new tardis when I give it to you.

I shall build one for my true love, too. Well, for the one I hope is my true love. Her mum likes me, but her dad is a materialist and even though she opposes all he stands for, he's conveniently off-putting and the vanguard of what would make me give up hope. Thus when I mail her tardis details to her by snail mail and her dad, the inquisitor, checks her mail (in case it's unmuslim), the presentation of pure free money will remove another enemy and turn them into an ally (well, it's worth seeing what happens if her parents both want her to see me again!)

So here it is - my last word for now to all of you - ANYONE HERE who wants to have a 100% FREE TARDIS from me, built to make you infinite permanent recession-free money in a form which is legit, 100% good business and totally sturdy and reliable, all you need to do is set up good pro-palestine sites, with strong messages for boycotting israel, nothing anti-semitic (or I won't have anything to do with you) or pro-violence (the same) and in return I will give you a free money machine - you will need to be able to come to London - I won't give any tardis to anyone except in person, you need to be humanly vettable - people disguised as other people thus won't cut it.

Make the site, promote it to at least 50,000 people and then send the proof to me by P.M. - whenever I do next log in, I'll receive it and contact you (be patient, please, or you probably don't deserve a tardis).

At the moment out of all my friends etc I am building tardises only for the OVERTLY pro-palestinians (of all races, genders, religions, ages).

I've been feeling on top of the world since I began this, since it means that my position has got stronger and stronger - because now my closest allies WILL be rich too! None of them are (apparently I always get on better with people who aren't overloaded with wealth!)

I'll log out of here the same way I did last time - my password is reset to some random stuff and I shall get my browser to rememer the wrong password and thus to get back in I have to get my password emailed. Which is too much hassle to log in and add a name to the celebrity game or other such trivia, so it is enough to make me be self-disciplined and hold back.

Thanks for all the fun I had on this site, and thanks doubly for all the vital stuff many of you have shared and taught. I'll be back, and with a bit of luck I'll get all my key tasks done. Don't worry, on other forums I generally don't respond at all to the right wing people who rant on about how killing palestinian children is a defensive anti-terrorist measure! I ignore them completely. The reason I kept talking to CBWM is that on this forum I basically respond to everything, don't I? That's the reason I have to stay away. I can't stay somewhere I intend to talk to people openly, because the truth is that anyone who says israel should stop killing babies is faced by a barrage of rude attacks from people, no matter where you go. This, you'll be pleased to learn, fuels to boycott sentiment. Here's a really funny thing I wrote, a one off,

Quote:
I'm a professional webmaster, not islamic, based in the UK, feeding UK children out
of hard earned taxes (by the government, for serving me, their master) and your long
off-topic collection of acts of ignorance do not really harm the purpose of my boycott
message-phase-1 set to reach 300 million people in the UK, Europe, Asia and
Americas.
On all forums (I've worked on forums and built web apps, engines, fora and other
tools for over 7 years) there is a contingent of 10 to 30 people who always post and
think it's all about them - meanwhile 1000s of readers pass through the pages reading
and watching, rarely writing, and the egotistic posting people don't even know about
it.
While you were writing your rubbish on my humanitarian thread, you actually
increased the readership significantly. I know this very well, I am quite good at
tracking most behaviour of most types of web activity - I even have to do nothing
more than a few linux shell commands to see how much money comes in from the
forums i've posted on (money to my bank account, due to how well I control traffic
and people through links on the web).
So DO go on and continue writing all this ignorant rubbish on a thread quite clearly
needing to be taken seriously! It only helps. And as for thinking you are sneering at
me... think again. I've been taking your money for weeks, since I first posted here
100s of your readers have entered my online shops! 100s. While you were wasting
your time letting off steam, I was turning it into cash. I am now using, as I said, a
mechanism for reaching 300 million people online merely to boycott Israel.
I find you lot make me sick. I didn't read enough of your rubbish to notice if anyone
actually made a serious comment about this - since Israeli and Palestinian children
have been DYING and we here have the capacity to make changes and at least TRY to
stop it - but you'd rather talk about snow, make wild assertions about the thread
starter and generally behave like boorish morons. Perhaps one or two people DID
write something worthwhile on this thread but hardly anyone will ever read that.
Luckily a lot of people will read the first post, as happens when readers cross into
forums via engines and other referrers.
Thank god you all belong to a sub-class of human now marked "neo third world". A
lot of your readers are not, and I suspect that unless my little act of self-indulgence
here brings in a removal of all my material on your site, that in time this site will
have sent me, before I consider the first phase of my work "done", at least 250
boycotters.
But do go on being utter morons. It's very amusing for the intelligent readers. And
they exist - they just don't bother typing. Who would? Why would intelligent people
want to talk to YOU?
Oh wait - here come the jokes. How very very intelligent they all must be. Not even
remotely unpredictable...
I couldn't resist doing it - there were 4 full pages of posts following my message and they were all 100% off topic - the egomaniac's who are the main forum posters sat there thinking it amusing to talk about the weather and just say occasional rude things about the post i'd made, but not discuss it at all, and indeed "yawn" (have you noticed that people with very little intelligence often say "yawn" to "insult" those of us with a little more upstairs?).

Anyway, the truth is I've been receiving good commercial traffic from my spam to that site (from a mere 8 posts!) for absolutely months. So what I said above is all true. Anyway. When you try and speak out for peace and palestine, you get a LOT of nasty behaviour directed at you, and you have to develop very thick skin. Bear that in mind when you help me - try and be anonymous, and set up websites on free hosts etc, not on your business servers.

I'm past being paranoid about whether that was said in a "sardonic" tone, so I'll just go past it. I'm back, because logic pointed out I was foolish to abandon this place, for so many reasons. Irony, really, gave me a push: a news article about how britain needs to isolate the antiwar muslims, who are homophobic chauvinists. it was just ironic. so here's me isolating myself because of a few homophobic chauvinists who suddenly take my objection to their homophobia as "preaching muslim fundamentalism" (interesting given i've only been in a mosque once in 10 years, and that was coz the lass i was trying to sleep with wanted me to... i'm just a regular bloke, me. it's all about sex and money).

anyway enough vic reeves impressions (intelligent people will realise, suddenly, that i haven't done any yet).

So I'm back and my tardis is flying so well. This is the performance level of its 1 (and currently only, out of an initial 1000 planned) engine(s)...



slight dip on valentine's day, of course - but hey, there are peaks and there are troughs...

to build the other 999 engines requires, at the point i've reached in the last few weeks, nothing more than tonnes and mechanical labour, much of which is in progress

I kind of stepped up the pace of tardis construction, and of adding quality to my sites too (eg enhancing/adding to databases, finishing off programming on incomplete sites, etc) and have left my boycott/antiwar tools in the a.i. lab on their own for a while. I have to get my money flowing - I have just begun the process of moving to a beautiful new flat, touch wood - the deal is being signed soon - and then I will have a lovely view of lots of nice bits of london, and a lovely brand new luxury flat - and for the first time in 16 years i'll live like a rich person (up to 16, my mum did manage to cover over my dad's cheapness and make our house feel rich, and clean - i never knew how many times she had to personally clean the drains herself because he was too cheap to ever get the problem it had fixed...), even though being born to a man with (presently) many many millions, people imagine I've always lived like I'm about to - rather than the true zombie disneyland where I live, with its 10 degree rooms (still 10 degrees for me, even if life is warmer for you!... winter owns this house until summer turns up and boils it up instead).

man it's gonna be great. and i've dispensed with my emotional hangups. i may not have any sexual ones, like our homophobic friends, but hey - too many emotional ties makes the number of chefs more than jack needs to not be dull, get some work done and still be back in time before the cows come home and fart out a long string of truisms and cliches.

and i can see canary wharf, and westminster and all the stuff i love, from my window, while i work. i'll save up for a new computer to try and celebrate properly. i drank an entire bottle of port over valentine's weekend and got totally drunk TWICE, in a really nice way, to celebrate how my material life is suddenly swinging around into a great direction.

so back to building the first 1000 little engines powering my tardis - luckily i can clone various parts of that 1000 when building engines for my friends' tardises... for various reasons of temporal physics.

what i'll do is i'll just be careful about talking to anyone rightwing, homophobic or in some other way unsavoury, and then i can enjoy this forum as usual and above all learn LOOADS more about making money and development and so on.

webmasterworld considers sites like this to be "rancorous", and yet i consider such attitudes to be boorish - sales people are people too, and we live in a world with a very diff perspective on the advertising and sales talk that to others may signify rancour. the political edge coming into this site, due to its openness is even more of what they consider rancour, but not me. I recently posted news of my gif chess game there, and included a note about another game i made, which inspired this new game i've decided to write with gd as a basis instead of chess, since i know i'll now definitely do the game since i want to play it (a game you think up and want to play is one that you end up finishing writing, i know from experience - i've done it numerous times in many languages/platforms)

and i wrote about 2 lines of descrip of that game - "a plane flies at the wtc, and you have to answer questions to prove you're not racist - and if you answer correctly you can save the wtc" - and they just deleted the whole thing and marked it "political"! i mean the 2 lines. the whole of the 2 lines. (it's a fab game, i wrote it in 2002 - for mac os 9, sadly so no one can play it ever - it's on a dinosaur system. i doubt i'll make a windows/new version any time! a bit too provocative).

to me that's fascist censorship. admittedly when i got into a dispute over the rights of gay people to not have to feel sick when they come to the general section of this forum, i was definitely censored rather than moderated, but i'll let it go and just pretend those involved didn't do what they did (otherwise my sense of duty would require me to do something technically against forum rules, but from the outside coming in, not the other way around).

But the real reason i can't just say to CBRN and Fannyadams "ner ner, i'm going away, and will snub the whole forum just to show how much i dislike you" - is that when i lost my ex-muslim love, (good way to describe her), it was clearly because i walked out on the entire community because of what retards the predominant right wing was. i walked away, and when throwing them away, i threw her away too.

on this forum i'll throw away friends and connections to good developers and sensible intelligent advertising experts, just because of a few nobodies, forum residue. Forget that, I'm back, but as you know I fly tardises, so i could leave again for 4000 years and still make it back for tea time tomorrow.

in case you're interested, i had a good valentine's weekend. oh yeah, i said. i got totally drunk and celebrated. with a bit of luck, this time next week my new luxury life is signed, sealed and delivered.

but, although i ban myself from talking about it here on any thread specially dedicated to it, i'm still OBVIOUSLY 100% firm about my antiwar/pro-democracy boycott/protest system and growth. The spreadsheets continue to grow and I have been trying to teach muslims at one forum, already, more about public relations and the need to use a LOT of serious public relations to fight the cause of antiwar, equality, etc.

as for cbrn, i really really will have to just pretend that it doesn't exist for me to be able to come to this forum and not feel slightly disturbed every time. but whenever i see stuff in the affiliate section and the other section where i either have expertise or a desire to know more or both, i get this urge to just stick my nose in, a la doctor who/hu. thus i have a reason to stay
