Dreamhost Promo Saves you $50

In a cheesy and lame effort to try to get some easy cash I’ve created a $50 off promo code (“YAHTZEEN50″) for all new DreamHost customers. DreamHost is a wonderful web hosting company that has been the best I’ve ever done business with in the ten plus years I’ve been involved with the Web. Yes I do earn some money from this, $47 to be exact, but I’ve given just a little over half of the referral reward to you. Once you’ve joined you too can earn up to $97 per referral too, it’s like some crazy pyramid scheme but I’ve had three referrals already (friends actually so I can’t vouch for how many you’ll get other than people you know).

I’m sure somebody could figure out a way to make a fair share of money with this but you’d probably need to be more organized than me. I mean I’ve been with them about three months and tonight is the first time I’m even bothering to try using the referral code generator. We’ll see how it goes.

The LOST Wiki

There isn’t too much on The LOST Wiki yet but I hope Tony can get some more interest from the online community of LOST viewers. Trolling the LOST message boards scattered about can turn up lots of info, it would be nice though to have it all organized and using MediaWiki to do it is a great idea.

I started using MediaWiki myself a few months ago to run the Fargo Band Family Tree, an effort to chronicle the Fargo-Moorhead punk/indie scene over the last 20+ years. My only gripe with MediaWiki is that it isn’t the easiest thing to change the look of, which is why I’ve left it entirely out-of-the-box in my case.

Anyway I hope I can find some time to contribute to the LOST wiki, I absolutely love that show.

Addicted to 2.0

I’m guessing a lot of geeks, freaks and dorks like myself can’t keep themselves from signing up for any private beta (just signed up myself for Openomy) of the rash of new web2.0 type of sites popping up. Now thanks to Emily Chang I should never have to go without a fix as she has started a page that collects them all in one spot called ehub, click away web2.0 addicts!
