I’m now geotargeting YPN ads for US users on Invision Plus forums (example: Support Forum). It looks reasonably good! US visitors will see 50/50 AdSense and Yahoo, while those outside the US will only get AdSense. I’ll test this for 7 days, then add images.

Firefox now has a 10.05% market share, compared with 84.7% for Internet Explorer, according to hitslink.com.

I spent my Saturday mostly playing Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Just about the best GameCube game I’ve ever played. It has been discontinued, so we had to pay almost $100 for it. But it was still well worth it, in my opinion. It’s an excellent game. It’s a true DDR experience for the GameCube, and it features classic Mario tunes. That includes Dr. Mario, and even some Donkey Kong. Awesome stuff, and great exercise too. Unfortunately, that means I didn’t get any homework done.

It comes to nearly $5 per sock, but considering the quality, style, and color, it’s worth it. I use it for my cell phone now. I wonder if a sock would fit my cell phone. Maybe the guitar tuner too. Speaking of which, I’m going to need to get a 9V battery for it soon.

It finally works! I just spent nearly an hour just trying to get the “Digg this” link to work properly. I was modeling it after other “Digg this” links on other weblogs, but they all did it different ways. Sometimes it was phase=2, sometimes phase=3. Sometimes the URL was urlencode()’ed, sometimes not. Sometimes they had a title=something, sometimes not. But my link wasn’t working. It kept taking me to the Digg login page instead of the “Submit Story” page. I was nearly pulling my hair out, until I analyzed a working and a non-working link closely, character-by-character. The culprit?
