Planning for an October 1st release. Looking for major promotions in the month of October. I am setting a goal of 10,000 visits for the month of October. This will be calculated by Google Analytics.

Otterstrat.com will replace grimmthething.com as the site for all update information.  This site will start to convert back to a personal site.

TotallyFreeCrap.com got an upgrade, it now shows the quantity of posts for a given category on the right.  Along with that it uses a tag cloud, which makes a category with more posts a bigger font.

WinFreeCrap.com has ended the logo contest.  The top 7 choices were posted for everyone to vote on. Go Vote.

WhateversPopular.com got a facelift recently, it should be updated more regularely now as well.

Otterstrat will be the company designing and managing all my websites.  This has a lot to be developed currently and will be a professional business type website.

PleaseGoNow.com , TotallyFreeForums.com , ClusterPictures.com and TVShowPilots.com are websites that currently redirect to Otterstrat.com as they may be future projects.

FamilyRecipeWorld.com has been slowely being updated and will most likely be the focus later this year.

FreeTVSearch.com and MyWiiWeb.com will remain as they are for the forseeable future.

I have finally figured out how to bring back previous posts for this site.  This site will continue to be used for everything I am currently working on.

I am working on recovering from losing all my databases for all of my sites.  Thanks to 1and1.com they were able to retrieve them for me.

I recently received a letter from my host saying I have been using too much server “resources”.� I was using 32% of a shared server.� While I was trying to track down the problem I was noticing the number of page views I get:

Per Month:

Gadgets:� 4,700,000 � (very simple pages)
TotallyFreeCrap: 170,000 (much more complex pages containing images and php I host)
FreeTVSearch: 170,000
Other Sites: 200,000 (approx)

Total: 5,240,000 page views per month

Lately I have been working in Photoshop to make some of my favorite pictures even better.� I have uploaded them to flickr as well.

Today history is being written as the internet once again proves that nothing is secure except free speach. MediaDefender is an anti-piracy organization doing everything they can to thwart people that steal digital property. MediaDefender went as far as setting up entrapment websites in order to persecute the people who use them.

On September 15th, the internal emails of MediaDefender were leaked online. The following day [Today] one of what seems could be many phone conversations were also leaked online. This information is being leaked so fast that there is no way to stop it, it will be picked apart and analyzed until everything is known. Already some of the largest “piracy” websites have determined how MediaDefender worked, what they were doing, and from where; Putting an end to the largest defense against piracy.

Update: � The group releasing the information has a website: MediaDefender Defenders.� It has been up and down lately due to attacks by MediaDefender computers.� It would be great if MediaDefender would release fake archives of their own information!
