Nerdlette

So I’ve decided I want to go in a different direction with my blog. I skimmed over all my posts from 2008 and realized how negative most of them seemed. 2008 wasn’t a bad year all around. I did have many great things happen. I have several new projects going on right now. I am working in both the NSFW and SFW arenas. I am moving not just away from Seattle, but to a new country all together. I met a very incredible guy whom I call “M” and have taken the bold step (at least for me) of trying this whole “relationship” thing. I’m just ready to do more with this blog than bitch. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still do plenty of that, but I want to have this blog be not just a personal peek into my life, but I want to dive into some of the cool techy stuff I enjoy so much…but in a manner that not-so-nerdy types can understand. I love tech blogs, but so many aren’t written for the every day user and focus on a readership with more techno smarts. I have a long way to set up this new layout and whatnot. I’ve set all of my old posts to “private” so they won’t be a part of this new look and feel. I need to find out how I’m going to implement my twitter into this blog as well. Wish me luck. Guess we’ll see what happens.

What a very long week.  Our server migration took longer than expected, but we did it.  Now I am elated to finally begin building out more.  The site itself is much faster, we not only fixed bugs on the pchat software but we did upgrades and mods to it, and we are all set up with NATS so that we can offer our customers and our affiliates some killer stuff.  I am especially eager that our users won’t have to have fifty billion logins for the site.  I haaaaaaaaated that for our customers on CWH.  I work with some geniuses and I’m loving every moment of it.

So now I’m working on driving traffic again.  We didn’t push any traffic this week because of the move.  I was shocked to see our numbers sustained and even peeked a few times w/out us advertising.  Not only that, but in a month, we were able to pull off a PR ranking.  How crazy is that?  It’s just simply amazing to see things come together so nicely.  You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet, baaaaaaaaaaby!

I have a new addiction.  I have discovered Twinkle.  It’s fun and it’s cool to meet peeps around you using your iPhone.  I’ve had to cut back on it though, it’s super distracting!
