I guess the google adds have been missing for a few days right? Well here's the scoop from google...

Last I checked we were up to ~ $190, and I never cashed out the account... now taking suggestions for other add generators.
p.s. the trip was great, I'll try to post some pics to flickr and provide more robust coverage.
Those sonsofbitches! They've changed the number on the pig roast page from 4 to 1, maybe it's the same thing? Oh well. This reminds me of the time I got a letter saying someone fraudulently made a donation to the Miami alumni assoc. from me on behalf of Elian Gonzales just to get Fiesta bowl tickets
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun Erocka... and we sure did miss you. Sorry to hear about the AdSense thing too... I guess I can unhook my auto clicker now. If anyone's interested, I'm saying 'no' to two offers I have right now, Target and Caterpillar. I'm interviewing for a job with a company that makes weapons for the military this week and the pay and benefits are way better, no shift work either. Giving up a sure thing for a maybe blows ass though. We'll see...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck Chris
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll be fine... and according to the java counter, you've still got 39 days left before your totally free. Also look at it this way, your two for two... three for three ins't that far off... and blowing things up sounds fun, although you could have a limited internet situation which could limit blogging (always a key consideration when taking a job).
