A new pen, new journal, new website, new year and a new start = Renovati? (Latin for rebirth). Actually this is just a renewed effort at using pen & paper to make something of significance from my weblog on Silicon Palms and the website explaining my ideas.

Jules from Pulp Fiction
There’s a passage I got memorized….
seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17.“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”Jules@PulpFiction

Brasil Elections
Today is election day in Brasil and I visited two different voting centers in Sao Paulo, each in elementary schools, outside of both the sidewalks were littered with paper cards advertising the faces, slogans, and corresponding voting numbers for the candidates. Each candidate has a unique number. Voters are instructed to insert one number in each screen of the computerized voting terminal, to select one candidate for each of the administrative positions requiring a vote, one of which is for the President of the country. Voting is mandatory for Brasilian citizens, otherwise more than half the people wouldn’t show-up.

Super Natural British Columbia
My family’s home in Canada is some 200 miles east of Vancouver, about half-way between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, on the shore of a magnificent lake in a magical valley, both sharing the Native Indian name “Okanagan”. Every summer I return to the place of my youth, both literally and figuratively, as I dedicate as much time as I’m able towards rest, relaxation, and recreation, prior to my annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas to attend the Casino Affiliate Conference.

Strategic Thinking
I read the Internet Business Manifesto and was profoundly effected by it’s content. For many years I’ve been reading self-help literature and various books and courses about “How to become Successful in Business” etc… but never before had I laid my hands on something this powerful. In the manifesto there lies such pertinent information related to starting and growing an Internet business that if you’re like me, with tons of practical experience, as soon as you absorb the information in the manifesto it becomes actionable knowledge.

Time Management
Monday’s turn to Friday’s and time never stops marching forward. Time is such a valuable commodity and one so easily squandered, especially if you work alone, as an entrepreneur and small business owner. Every day I spend a certain amount of time cleaning my inbox of junk mail and attempting to save time by setting filters for the email I do want to save and at the same time attempting to set Eudora (my email program) junk filters to do a better job of automatically trashing the spam. Eudora has a utility called “statistics” which provides an accounting of the use of the software. Today set a new record with 2111 messages received (so far) and over 5 hours using the software to manage, read and compose messages.

All Jackpots Casino
In the last few years I’ve joined over two dozen affiliate programs, mostly in the offshore gaming industry but some in online trading and others in banking and payment services. Of all the banners and text links I’ve tried across my network of sites the one that converts the most lookers to players is from Brightshare called All Jackpots Casino.

Article Management
Several weeks ago I was attempting to find a new, lighter version CMS (content management system) on the best comparison site of it’s kind, called CMSMatrix.org. When I say new and lighter, I mean new to me and lighter than Movable Type (MT), as I’ve installed dozens of MT CMS’s and publish pages every day using MT but it’s too big of a program and more than what I needed a CMS for, which was for publishing, archiving and managing a few dozen articles in a directory and then be able to share those articles across my network.
My CMS comparison research turned up a real gem of a software program and one of the first open source programs of it’s kind; TextPattern
