Journal entries in 'Miscellaneous' for June, 2007

I just turned the TV on, and it was tuned to BBC America. They were interviewing a guy who was talking about how the F-4 Phantom is his favorite fighter jet, and how he is an avid photographer. I said, "Hell yeah, dude, I'm right there with you." And then he started talking about how he hasn't ever had a girlfriend, and his RealDolls are his best friends, and I checked the show info, and it was a special on sex dolls.

Then they interviewed the next guy, and he's got a Metallica poster on the wall, and he's showing them his electric guitar and his collection of two-handed broadswords. Dammit. What is this, the Ghost of Christmas Yet-To-Come?

Well, in the two weeks or so that I had the AdSense ads on the site, my income averaged about $0.18 per day. In all, I raked in a monstrous $2.73. They don't even send you a check until you reach $100, so at this rate, I'd have to wait a year and a half to actually receive any money from this. Yeah, so the ads are gone. I guess I made some invalid assumptions when estimating the number of ad impressions I'd get. Ah well, it's good to know I won't ever again have to struggle with the moral dilemma regarding whether or not it's worth putting ads on the site. Now it is answered definitively in the negative.
