So you want to advertise here?

30 Dec 2009 by fracas

stats while fraccers was on a maintenance breakFraccers has been on a bit of a maintenance leave for this past month… but regardless, the blog maintained some traffic.

As mentioned in the previous post, some blog redesigning is in the works and with it will come enhanced SEO features to garner fraccers (and your advertisement) a heightened presence online.

Fraccers is an entertainment and observational humour blog that discusses virtually anything, and particularly whatever is in the news at present. That might be something celebrity or health related, something nerdy and tech related, or stuff that every man out there is just itching to know more about, like cooking and gardening… or what makes us women tick.

Then again, fracas (the author and creator) has from time to time, been accused of being a little ‘manly’ and might even talk about tools and building stuff.

That’s just how I roll… unpredictable as all get out.

So don’t be shy… email and enquire.

I don’t bite.

Well, unless that’s what you’re asking for.

My butt looks fat in this blog?

30 Dec 2009 by fracas

Before Christmas, some of you mentioned that this blog theme has a few quirks that, well… made my blog butt look pretty wide.

I wasn’t offended, so please don’t worry about that. I have to admit this theme is old and really not equipped to handle all the new things Wordpress has to offer (like threaded comments and such). I’d promised you some changes, and I meant it. Rather than spend ridiculous amounts of time re-coding the CSS and trying to make this old pair of pants look new, I’ll be ditching the old pants in favour of the newest trends and hoping I find something that makes me look my best.

Just don’t go reporting me to Clinton and Stacey… ’cause if you think I’m letting cameras in so they can make fun of what’s in the fraccy ‘closet’, you can think again!

So… I’ll be sorting all of that out in the next few days and while I try on some new blog clothes, you might occaisonally catch me unzipped… or without pants at all… not because fracas likes showing off her behind, or being caught without her dress zipped; it’s just that with folks from all over the world visiting, even if I stay up all night to try on some new blog clothes, there’s nary a time when I don’t risk someone seeing me with my pants down.

I hope you’re not traumatized by that all too much… I will try make up for it later.

I sincerely thank you for your patience!

Is Google Your Big Brother?

25 Surprising Things That Google Knows About You

In an article penned by Courtney Phillips, and found at the criminal justice USA site, 25 things Google either knows, or will know about you if you utilize their many services, are discussed.

Does the idea (that you’re compromising your privacy for the convenience of their services) bother you? Shouldn’t you know what you’re getting into before you decide to use all they offer? Check out the items highlighted below and if you’re concerned, continue with the original article. After that… don’t say you didn’t know!

Here are a select few from the list.

Some important things that Google knows about you!

  • The web pages you visit: Google AdSense is used by many web pages for online advertising, and Google’s cookies record your visits to web pages with their ad program on them.
  • Your financial information: Users of AdSense and/or Google Checkout share financial information, addresses, and other personal information with Google.
  • What’s on your PC: If you’re using Google Desktop, Google knows everything that you keep on your computer.
  • Your research paper, bills, upcoming blog post, etc.: Docs and Spreadsheets are great web-based office tools, but using them means exposing the information in your documents to Google.
  • Everything you’re looking at online: Users of the browser Google Chrome allow Google to see all of the web pages they are visiting.
  • Your problems: Asking a question or giving an answer on Google Answers will reveal your problems and personal life to Google.
  • Your medical issues: Do you use Google Health? If so, you’re sharing your entire medical history with Google.
  • Your home address: Use Google Maps, AdSense, or Checkout, and there’s a good chance Google has your home address.
  • Mobile number: On SMS, Google Mobile, and Gmail, you can reveal your mobile number to Google.
  • Everything you do online: Google Secure Access encrypts your data, so everything you’re doing online for school or work is recordable.

To read the full list, head over to the site and have a gander.

“You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

10 Dec 2009 by fracas

 The famous quote, “You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it,”  is part of a larger piece of work written by Dr. Adrian Rogers.  Fracas is pleased to provide you with the whole piece.

The importance and value of honest labor…

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

 

From: Ten Secrets for a Successful Family, 2006 
Dr. Adrian Rogers, September 12, 1931 – November 15, 2005
