Holidays
June 1st, 2009 8 CommentsThat’s it people, I’m of on my holidays. Two and a half weeks of not doing much except relaxing and waking up in a new port each day. I’m not sure how regular my updates will be (as if I have a schedule anyway) but rest assured I will have internet access at some point. I may even try some of this video blogging lark if I get the chance, but only if my pasty skin catches some colour, I do want to look the part! Oh and because I’ll be away I’m going to switch the RSS feed back to a full feed.
A Couple Of Thoughts To Leave You With
1. Yesterday my income was barely $1.00 eCPM in a niche where I’m paying (correction, was paying) over $2.00 a click. Me thinks that certain ad networks are now starting to take the piss (all in the name of the recession of course).
2. Why is the US dollar starting to slip against the British pound again? Every report to date has stated that the UK is in the worst possible position because of the credit crunch and yet even with huge amounts of quantative easing our currency is strengthening against the dollar? Why are people buying sterling? My guess is that the current UK government have shown that they are prepared to do ANYTHING for short term gain (and sod the long term consequences) and the markets have realised this. Strengthen, strengthen, strengthen, buy, buy, buy, ooops, total collapse of our economy. At least in America there is some notion of the medium to long term picture, short term pain for long term prosperity. I know where I’d rather be living at the moment.
