Thuderbird is crashing with me by taking too much RAM and CPU.

I finally got the Google gift. I did not get the Google glow radio last year.

- optical mini mouse with scroll wheel and retractable cord
- 4-port USB hub
- USB Goose neck led light
- USB flash drive

I’ve now have all the gadgets to go with my new laptop that I have yet to buy.

I got a 403 Forbidden message from Google in doing some manual queries.

As I will be on holidays for the most of next week and since I’m going nowhere, I’ve decided to build a new website. It has to be ready by the New Year.

Step 1: Get an idea
Think of a great idea.
Do some keyword/competitive research to validate your idea.
Find a domain name.

Step 2: Getting started:
register domain name
create website account
install wordpress
install wordpress plugins

Step 3: Customize the website:
install wordpress themes
tweak css, templates
optimise ad placement

Step 4: Content:
write good content with good keywords
find good pics
find good feeds
Each post should have a pic.

Step 5: Guerilla Marketing
directory submissions
blog commenting
co-op ads
keyword optimization

Finding an available domain name is a real job with the PPC business booming and many people are buying domain names just for type-in traffic.
I’ve already done step 2 in 15 minutes. Pretty straightforward. The other steps will take more time and concentration. My objective is build a website within a week or never. If it’s over a week, it’s taking too much time. There are people that build websites in an hour or less.

I may test some Adwords ads in step 5 with the minimum bid. We’ll see.

A graveyard of about a dozen of Dodo birds in Mauritius have been found by scientists of the Ducth National History Museum. This is great news for the scientific community who will be able to reconstruct the living environment of the Dodo at that time. The remains are said to be over 2,000 years old. The Mauritius Dodo bird is an indegenous species of the island of Mauritius and it is not found elsewhere.
