Welcome to Smuggle Me

I’ve been doing iTunes Affiliate for a while, and let me say that their payout sucks. Considering it costs them almost nothing to deliver the music, it’s sad that they can’t share more with their affiliates.

Here’s a quick look at how I’ve done recently:

Items Purchased: 799
Sold: $928.54
Average Order: $4.30
Total Commissions: $46.79
Average Commission per order: $0.22

Something doesn’t seem quite right with only getting paid about 5% of all the sales. Oh well, I guess eBay, Amazon and CJ just got more of my business.

I’m starting to develop more and more now that I’ve needed to and so I was happy when I came across this website that will test your website across a ton of different web browsers. I love how technology makes doing other technology easier. Now if all the browsers would just follow standards, then we’d even be happier. However, I don’t expect that any time soon.

A couple more good VC readings that I’ve been enjoying of late. This is a pretty interesting blog and here’s a long list of article written by the amazing Paul Graham. I’m sure there are more so if you have any good suggestions, let me know.

Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a complete ultimate frisbee addict. It’s snowing here in Utah on my vacation and I’m still planning on finding a game and going out to play.

This also makes sense why I got so excited when I saw that someone had created an ultimate frisbee computer game. I’ll download it now and if you don’t see a post for a while, then you’ll know why.

I use remote desktop all the time and I often find it hard to know which keyboard shortcuts I should use and which ones will work through remote desktop. Ctl alt del is the most common one I need. Luckily windows has created some remote desktop keyboard alternatives. Very useful for those who use remote desktop as much as I do.

This is what I call a really interesting design. It’s a water house (which takes forever to load at least with the crappy wireless connection I currently have). Not very practical, but would be a lot of fun to see in real life.

If you have a few minutes to waste you should try out Guess the Google. It’s a fun little game where you have to guess the google search term that was used to get the images you see. Some of them are easy and some are pretty hard. Interesting to see what comes up though.

Anyone used Cam Studio to record them doing something? I think I need to use this at work to record some training for staff. Anyone know of anything better than Cam Studio for this?

Yes, I think this was a forward from someone. I usually send whoever sent me a forward an email reprimanding them for wasting my time with what I equate to spam. Most people take it ok when I tell them that I get the same thing over and over and it’s just annoying.

Well, this one is just too funny to not post. I hope my wife reads this post.

I wish I knew how they did this mosaic (long load time). It’s pretty incredible. Anyone know of some software that will make mosaics? I’d love something that would do that.
