I need links
We had over 1,000 hits in August. One of the other sites hosted on this same server has some Kawasaki Jet Ski maintenance manuals. It got over 201MB of traffic in August on 500+ hits. With zero promotion. Googlebot is your friend, but I think Jet skiers are scary people. The traffic here surprised me,…

William Gibson has a blog!
I’m going to stretch to make that headline relevant, I don’t think I’ll succeed… William Gibson has a blog. If you dpn’t know who William Gibson is, you have a choice: one of the early leading-lights of the cyberpunk SF writing movement; an astonishing writer; go back your morning bagel, who cares?. Two out of…

RSS excites me
I mentioned in my Using Technology post that I’m excited about RSS. RSS stands for (among other things) Really Simple Syndication. That’s an easy way for articles and news to be published in other peoples websites, weblogs, newspages and even by individuals in software called RSS feed readers or RSS news aggregators. RSS offers two…

Recharging the batteries
I need a break. Urgently! So Nella and I were looking at a weekend away in the Hunter Valley. Then we remembered we were already going away with a group of people in a couple of weekends. So going away twice in three weeks doesn’t really work. For one I’d miss my internet connection. We…

Chris Batten site update
I visited www.chrisbatten.com.au again tonight. Chris Batten, Tax specialist from Macquarie Street, Sydney. Chris is a smart, aggressive bloke. Actually he’s a giant. Nella did a contract for him a few years ago now, so we got to know him. A lot of the content on Chris’s site has now moved into the membership (paid)…

Bottom end of the market
I like buying investment properties at the bottom end of the market. A step up from slum-lording, but still basic, no-frills housing. Easy to rent, cheap to maintain. Nothing glamourous. Nella and I lived in one of these when we first got married. I wouldn’t buy something I couldn’t live in. Note that’s “couldn’t” not…

Upgrade to WordPress 0.72b1
We’ve upgraded to WordPress 0.72 beta1 to fix a couple of bugs that were annoying. As usual let me know if anything broke that I didn’t notice

Too much inventory
In 1992 or so I read The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. It changed my business life and allowed Robert Kiyosaki to influence my world-view on work and investing. The Goal is written as a novel. The concepts emerge in the story. One point Goldratt made — inventory is not…

DNS is down
If you can still see this page, congratulations, but you may not for long. DNS is the way the internet turns www.wealthesteem into an IP address. Anyway our nameserver in the US is down as is our secondary name server. So until they come back we and the other sites served from here are invisible.…

Technical Glitch
We required a security update to the blog software. A transmission glitch meant the server gave blank pages for the last 4 hours. Sorry about that. It should be fixed now. As usual let us know if there is a problem.
