The pictures were great! How was the performance? BTW, have you noticed recently the server sometimes skips... I get server 500 errors just occasionally.

cfimages What I saw of the show seemed good. When I'm shooting, I'm not really paying much attention to anything other than photography, so there were a few songs I was there for but didn't really see, if you know what I mean.

Server 500 errors - yeah, I've seen those. Not sure what's happening but refreshing seems to make it work again.

It's very rare to hear Japanese these days unless they're tourists. But many people learn Japanese hear in classes at language school.

in Shooting Pandas on Craig Ferguson Images
Oh, And Craig! Are there any photo-exhibits in Taipei at the moment? I found one at TIBE in the French Publishers section, which I enjoyed.... How would I find out?

cfimages The FNAC bookstore in Asiaworld always has a small one that's always changing, and there's also TIVAC which is off Fuxing N Rd near Chang-an E Rd. It's tucked away in a lane and I don't know the exact address but I'll try and get a name card next weekend when I'm in the area and let you know. JAZZ photo developing studio on Bade Rd at the intersection with Chang An E Rd usually has students work on display upstairs - they also have info about other galleries. All three of these are quite close to Nanjing E Rd MRT station.

cfimages Sure, I'll get to work on some basic Photoshop tutorials. I'll try and get something posted in the next week or two.

Craig, do you insure your equipment? If so, how?
1 reply
cfimages Insurance in Taiwan is a tricky thing but if you're persistent and the things have a high enough value it's possible.

Oh, I get confused ALL the time... but it's when my hand dances over the 'c' and 'h' keys... if my fingers are too fast, I end up killing Pandas instead... If not, then I end up with Cows.

I wonder what the twits of famous people alive and dead would read like if they had ever used twitter...

Julius Caesar on Conquering Britain: "Veni, Vidi, Vici. In vane."

And others?

in Blog Income and Traffic - March 2008 on Investing Adventures
Hi, Jorge...

Congratulations! Our blogs are doing very similarly at the moment, though I gave up on PPP after last month. My subscriber numbers keep dropping, and my page views are building slowly to 1700 Uniques PM.

I haven't done this month's income report... but soon. We both seem to be suffering lack of readers.... perhaps our blogs aren't directly in the 'hot' areas of the moment.

in Declaring Akismet Bankruptcy on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Andy,

Thanks for your comment! I did get it but as you suspected, I had to fish it out of the spam section. I was notified though.

Have no idea why it ended up there, but it gave an error that said somethinga bout your IP address being a problem.

I will comment soon on it!

A Taiwanese Corporation: You don't actually have any cows at all, you simply manufacture all the parts in China, and ship them to your markets worldwide (See China). You then import all your beef and milk from the US.

in So What Have I Done Wrong Now Google? on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Unfortunately, the more that Google takes TBPR away from blogs the less their PR authority can be seen as authoritative. Why? There are now hundreds, if not thousands, of blogs without PR. Yet, they are read by tens of thousands of readers, if not hundreds of thousands each day, like mine.

I'm considering going no-follow soon, but I'm not asking for reinclusion.

I do believe that this PR spank will backfire on Google, and we'll see Google readmitting many hundreds of blogs at some point, or removing TBPR altogether. Fact is, even my blog still passes PR to other blogs, it's just not 'seen'.

Meantime over on InvestorBlogger, I'm posting as normal, getting decent traffic, and making money. So, what have I lost without PR? Not really very much at all.

Anyone else checking Google's stock price these days?

in Acceptance into PayPerPost on Investing Adventures
Good luck on PPP... I've been doing it for a year or more. It's worth it, but don't get over focused on their opportunities! I took some that I didn't really need to... It was quite stressful when 60K bloggers were all bidding for higher paid posts... STressed me out unnecessarily, and distracted me from blogging.

Geez, Timpani. What is your beef? You are not a lawyer, so you basically told everyone how much you DON'T know... How do you know JohnCow didn't get legal advice on this? ... Why are you acting the "I told you so" routine? Grow up and get your own blog.

Yep, rates are going up still in Taiwan... which should make the ntd more attractive than the US. the ntd isn't a fully traded currency, but the unofficial peg has really hurt other exchange rates as the US$ fell in value.
