Got an offer in my mailbox yesterday about a pokersite that now offers BINGO as well. They offered me 3 games for free, so I took the offer and I really liked it. Easy to win and just based on luck. The best thing is that you win about 10 times the money if you win. I didn’t win much on the 3 games I played, so today I deposited 100SKr (around US$13) and ended up with winning 96SKr (US$12). I also answered some quiz while playing and won 2 rounds, which gave me an extra $1. All in all, I ended up +/- Zero.

BUT.. Since it’s a new service, they offer an extra 100Skr just as a startbonus. Not sure I can just pull them out (if I can, I have doubled my deposit) without playing for them. Anyway, the bonus should be in my account in the next couple days so I might be able to win even more if I have to play for it.

I recently signed up for a deal where I can get paid money to do reviews and posts about different companies. Today I was assigned my first task, which is to review a company concentrating on solar energy and ceiling fans. Since the task is to brand their website, OceanFan.com I think I will concentrate on that (also since my skills on solar energy ain’t that high ).

To start off, their logo is really nice. The website then is a bit simple, but it’s easy to find what you are looking for. What surprises me the most is that they are actually using Google Adsense on their website. This means they are constantly recommending other sites instead of their own, which should probably make their customers a bit surprised. It also means if they ever decide to use Google Adsense, they might end up paying for visitors that is already on their website.

What I also noticed, is that the website tries to use the local language to format the price. So when visiting it in IE7 (Swedish), the prices said SKr instead of US$. This is a nice feature, but the idea is to have the prices converted as well, which this site didn’t. That means that I could buy a nice ceiling fan (going for US$79.98 on the website) for 79.98 SKr which roughly is US$10.

The website itself provides good pictures, so you can easily find the products that you are interested in. Most products also hold a short technical description, but myself I would prefer a full PDF of the manual or at least more details about each product.

I’ve been doing some reading up on different implementation guidelines offered by the bigger Creditcard companies like VISA and MasterCard. One funny and a bit annoying thing I noticed was that they both recommend totally different things. Mastercard SecureCode tries to show all benefits and simplicity of having a popup to enter your additional details. Verified by VISA recommends the opposit; to keep everything on the same page to avoid hassles with popupblockers.

In this small battle, I think I prefer VISAs method, but I’ll give you my final opinion once I implemented them both.. (if ever. )

Just wanted to let everyone (atleast anyone who visits this website) know about a very nice photoportfolio by Michael Hooper. He’s concentrating on taking tasteful pictures of very nice guys and I must say he does a very good job. If you ever in Netherlands and want your pictures taken, you know where to go!

My favourite would be in the Duo archive, image dsc00507a_bw.jpg. Nice huh?

This usually never happends.. Both cats in the same bed next to me! Usually they take turns and once in a while when you do have the chance to see them together, the camera is always so far away.

My sister just called me and asked if me and my partner was interested in going to Tunisia. Apparantly she dragged our parents into it and planned dates are 6th May to 14 May. The hotel looks very nice and the best thing is that it’s All Inclusive, meaning free food and snacks for me and my partner, free booze for the rest.
