Oh Canada
Still trying to work out the legal and logistical nightmare that is getting my family and myself immigrated to Canada. There are many issues, my mum and dads status and whether they can return (after 30 years!), if I can sponsor my parents and wife from here in the UK without proof of Canadian income, school for Amy, Job for me, which would enable us to look for a house .. where to go, what to do ..

Cheap UK Internet Magazines Subscriptions
Don't you just love ASP and .NET? Because of Google Adwords recent TOS changes I have had to rapidly set up a site for my magazines campaign, thanks to these lovely web platforms I have been able to do this in double-quick time. I had scraped the merchants site and used regex to grab the content days before the official feed. Another campaigns feed is so limited I am going to use the same code and tweak to produce my other site. I know this could be done in PHP but I think the OS crowd would be hard pressed to produce a tool as productive as VS.NET :O)

Google-boost (link popularity again)
Last night I blogged about a new co-op ad/link network asking for feedback from folks that have used it http://weblogs.asp.net/cgarrett/archive/2004/12/19/326816.aspx - well I have had a couple of people say they thought it was good and I should try it.

Boost your link popularity
Just found an easy way to get a fast link popularity boost
Digital Point Free Ad Network
I haven't tried it yet, just been asking around to see what people think, but am going to have a go.
It's a bit like adsense, but random rather than contextual and real links rather than JS.
Just waiting for wh4life to fix their file permissions control panel to try it
(the forum has code for php/asp/asp.net and popular blogging tools)
