Developers

Date: Tue, Jul 15, 2008 Internet Tournament

Warning: No real content in this post Okay, I’m officially looking for web developers now. Here are a few bullet points: At least one who is competent in ASP.NET and one who is competent in PHP.  So I’m looking for two people total, but cross-over skills are great too. I really need people who are willing [...]

oh snap 2p2

Date: Tue, Jul 15, 2008 Internet Tournament

I was wondering when they would do this… Sometime in the last hour, two plus two enabled vbSEO on their installation of vBulletin. I guess someone finally clued them in on how much of a search traffic jump they would get with good forum SEO. Get ready to see 2p2 URLs appearing at the top of tons [...]

Holy crap PokerStars

Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2008 Internet Tournament

This is incredible… I guess that PokerStars’ strategy of shoving as many people as possible into a WSOP Main Event seat is paying off for them so far this year. They’re absoluting dominating the final 26 people, although I’m pretty sure the Peter Eastgate guy is actually Ladbrokes. Nonetheless, good luck to PokerStars in their quest [...]

Ultimate Bet and Russ Hamilton

Date: Sun, Jul 13, 2008 Internet Tournament

I finally got involved in the whole UB thing this past week after an insider named brainwashdodo posted some screenshots and transfer histories. I’d been staying away because of a lack of hard evidence on the superusers, but thanks to brainwashdodo, I got involved again. Whoever he/she is — you did a good [...]

More about Google and poker

Date: Sat, Jul 12, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’ve gotten a lot of comments on my last post, seen here. I’m pretty pissed at Google right now and not just because it affects a company that I help to run.  I’m pissed because Google is applying their “webmaster guidelines” selectively, without rhyme or reason and, in my opinion, unfairly. I appreciate everyone’s comments on the [...]

Paradise Poker Followup

Date: Thu, Jul 10, 2008 Internet Tournament

They appear to be more retarded than I originally thought.  So I got mixed comments on the last post.  Some people say it works fine for them, some people told me that it didn’t work for them either.  Whatever it is, I’m sure it affects a % of the people trying to visit their site. So [...]

How is this possible?

Date: Mon, Jul 7, 2008 Internet Tournament

If you go to paradisepoker.com, do you get this message? Keep in mind that I’m using Firefox 3, but it doesn’t work for me in IE6 either. It’s been like this for the last 5 days or so for me…

Weird things going on at Google

Date: Thu, Jul 3, 2008 Internet Tournament

In the last day or so, some major changes have been made in the Google poker search engine results.  I’m not sure what to make of it because so many big sites have been hit pretty hard.  Here are some of the sites that don’t even rank top 10 when you’re searching for their own [...]

LOL at this

Date: Wed, Jul 2, 2008 Internet Tournament

I was looking at my blog stats today and I found something kind of funny. If you’re a regular reader, you might remember my post about the jailbait gallery stuff on P5s.  It seems as if that post has come back to help with my overall traffic.  These are, somehow, my biggest recent keywords. I’m not really [...]

Interesting Moments in Search

Date: Thu, Jun 26, 2008 Internet Tournament

Is google trying to appear neutral and not rank themselves for terms like “search engine”? Despite the fact that they obviously deserve to be #1? They don’t have any problem ranking themselves/their subsidiaries #1 for terms like blog, images, maps, finance, etc. The whole thing is a little bizarre to me. Anyone know why they [...]

Johnny Cash

Date: Tue, Jun 24, 2008 Internet Tournament

I’m not really like a music classics type of guy for the most part.  I mostly listen to stuff from “my generation” — which basically means like the 1993 range until current.  I didn’t listen to a ton of music when I was like 5 or 6 years old.  Someone like Johnny Cash had, largely, [...]

DreamHost is awesome

Date: Mon, Jun 23, 2008 Internet Tournament

Just to clarify, I write that statement after being a DreamHost customer for all of about 10 minutes.  I just signed up for a web hosting account there for a new site that a friend of mine is making and I’m helping him get it started.  I happen to manage my own DNS (if that [...]

Why would Apple let this happen

Date: Fri, Jun 20, 2008 Internet Tournament

That’s what happens if you search for me and click on me.com.  Oddly enough, if you hit refresh, it works fine.  I’m actually not sure what’s going wrong technically here. Also, I wonder what Apple paid for me.com.  Off the top of my head, I would think a domain like that has to be worth eight [...]

60 Minutes Update

Date: Thu, Jun 19, 2008 Internet Tournament

Some people are asking me about the 60 Minutes stuff, so I might as well make a blog post to update everyone all at once. In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a look at this post. I’ll just make this whole thing point by point… First, I am not going to appear [...]
