2006.01.24 New Domain Home

I'm pleased to announce that I'll be moving the server. Hopefully it won't be too obvious to you all. Right now, if you go to http://longboredsurfer.com it actually forwards you on to a subdomain of http://pablonoesta.com. So, even though I own the domain name, I don't have it hosted on its own. I'm stepping away from that though, and I'll be moving it to it's own hosting place.

2005.11.29 Recipes and Comments

In honor of nothing, I've added a couple new things that might be worth noting:

• The newest Cook's Illustrated recipes are available on Palook Central. Check them out over there.
• Comments are now accepted here at The Longbored Surfer. I'm not sure what on earth you could have to say about anything I've done/said, but it's an option to

2005.11.19 Longbored Photos

I've added a new photo section to LBS. It's nothing special, but it works. I have to say that I really like Simple PHP Gallery. The dude's website seems to always be down, like he hasn't paid his bill, or he gets too much traffic. Despite the site always being down, the system works like a charm. With hardly any setup, it's really easy to customize, and extremely easy to use.

Check out Longbored Photos here and download a copy of Simple PHP Gallery here. I'm willing to answer basic questions.

2005.11.19 Finally Finished (again)

I think I've finally finished this site. It took long enough, but this time I'm really serious. The addition of the longbored photos is nice, but wasn't the finishing touch. No, the finishing touch you should hopefully never see. It would be the error page.

2005.11.17 How to Anger Yahoo

If you're ever curious on how to make Yahoo stop referring people to your website… all you have to do is put some ads on your site from Google. I signed up for Google Ads, and within 2 days, my traffic from Yahoo went from about 40 hits a day down to 0. Whoa…. their search bot must be a little sensitive to that sort of thing. Note to self: if you put ads on your site from Google, at least program the page not to display the things if they're referred from Yahoo. Since I'm not that smart, I just took the ads off. Nobody was clicking them anyway.

Too bad Yahoo doesn't seem to want to advertise on my site. Go figure. "We don't want them to do it, but we don't want to either." Seems like a double standard, but whatever.
