I deleted all the comments.
Comment spam was getting bad. I over-reacted (on purpose). I am lazy.

google disabled my adsense account, fwiw
I just happened to check my account yesterday, less than 24 hours before google deactivated my account. I was bragging (in jest) to my wife that I had made $41.10 since June 1st. I think have made a total of around $148 dollars since 9/2/2004. Make that $108.00, becuase the $41.10 I made in since June is gone, unless the deactivation appeal is successful.

I always sorta looked at this as free money; even though it's not really. Free money is still money, but now it may be gone.

I am hopeful the appeal will be successful, as I have done nothing to generate invalid clicks, or clicks of any kind. My only worry is, I don't know how to prove this.

Google disabled my adsense account :-(
I just recieved the following email:

Hello David Yates,

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks and/or impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that this was a necessary step to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.

A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks or impressions on any ad(s), including but not limited to clicks and/or impressions generated by:

- a publisher on his own web pages

- a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads

- automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software

- a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason

These or any other such activities that violate Google AdSense Terms and Conditions and program polices may have led us to disable your account. The Terms and Conditions and program polices can be viewed at:

https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US

https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers.

If you feel that this decision was made in error, and can maintain in good faith that the invalid activity was not due to the actions or negligence of you or those you are responsible for, such as employees and family members, you may appeal the closing of your account. To do so, please contact us only through this form:........

etc, etc

Having no idea what caused this, I am, needless to say, pretty bummed out about it all, as well as shocked.

FVWM goodness
fvwm2 screenshot I found this laying around on one of my computers. It's a 2 year old screenshot from an old laptop I had. fvwm is cool. You can waste a lot of time configuring it, but you can make it look and act anyway you like. If and when I get some time, I may give fvwm another spin. When that happens I will be sure to post my .fvwm2rc file.

New Logo
new logo Here is a new logo for the podcast that a listener named Dave from St. Louis did for me. Thanks Dave! I think this is the first time I have been immortalized with the Gimp.

As you can see I am adorning the pages of my blog and the mp3 and ogg pages with this image. I will try and embed this new logo in the feed as well; but will probably fail doing that though. I am no artist, but I know what I like. I likes this a very lot! Thanks again Dave! I never ceased to be amazed at the niceness shown me by the people of the linux community, and especially by those of you who listen to my feable podcast.

Here's to you mister listener, mister paypal donater, mister new logo maker, and mister took the time to email me. Thank you all!
