Re: Amazon.co.uk Associate

I'm an Amazon associate too, but I wish BookPool had a program. They've got better prices and better customer service, and I don't feel like I'm being tracked by some huge corporate entity whenever I'm browsing their site. But if you'd like to buy books thru me, check out my ancient "bookstore" (oh, and there is a little easter egg on that page). ( Dec 27 2002, 08:27:23 PM ) Entertainment Permalink

Nothing Interesting Here

I like to hit the Recommended Reading app from time-to-time, and today I tried feeding it FreeRoller's index page as it's inspiration. The result was surprising:

Address of your home page (or links page):
http://www.freeroller.net/index.jsp
Sorry, couldn't find any interesting sites.

(emphasis is mine). I'm shocked, there are several interesting sites on FreeRoller, at least I thought so ;-)

Old World Order
It's not fair, my best friend gets invited to join an exclusive, historical, organization and I get nothing. If anyone deserves to join such an "enlightened society" [quote from their site] its me!
Eh, never mind.

Gimme Gimme Gimmee

A big item on the Roller wishlist is better support for changing Themes. Andy has got the idea

I wish FreeRoller had a dummy skinner and some previewable skins with like a color picker and stuff... [Hacking Log 2.0]

Sounds like an app unto itself! Seriously cool idea though, you could change various settings and preview what it looks like. Not sure how you'd go about this though, considering all the different skins out there now, and how they likely differ in their CSS markup. Hey Matt, you got any ideas?

Is Big Brother in your Grocery Cart?

I had no idea this group existed. My wife doesn't understand why I hate shopping at Rainbow (a supermarket). I'll drive farther to Cubs (competitor) and get lower prices without needing some "discount card" that tracks my shopping habits. These things are worse than the cookies that DoubleClick uses (well, maybe not that bad). ( Dec 20 2002, 07:57:02 PM ) News Permalink Comments [4]
