It looks like no one is interested in my idea of a free hosting.
Maybe I didn’t promote it enough. Any suggestion?
The amount of surfing is an indication of time on hand. Recently I had been busy with my offline business which is doing well and growing.
I’m expecting less time to spend on blogging and the my online revenue project.
This week surfing includes
- Yet another PHP CMS. Nucleus seems to be pretty advanced.
- More opensource PHP projects of interest
- Yet more free online counters
I was poking around as usual and found Google Code Project Hosting.
The first impression is that the service sounds very similar to the well known SourceForge service.
It appears that Google’s Project Hosting does not want to conflict with projects on Sourceforge. If you sign up for a project name that already exist in Sourceforge, Google Code will first send an email to the Sourceforge owner to confirm whether they allow the name to be used.
The service is simple and provides an issue tracking function and a svn (subversion) repository.
You will need a Google Account to sign up.
It will be interesting to see how things works out for this.
Release early, release often.
As usual I was surfing around and clicked on a blogspot blog. The usual drill is,
- open the blogspot blog in another Firefox tab,
- copy the URL into a proxy,
- browse the site through a proxy.
A few minutes ago, something extraordinary happened, the blogspot sites loads!
Has China unblock all blogspot sites?
A quick check on WordPress.com, it is still blocked.
Some SEO links this week.

This my giveaway idea for August.
Free hosting for life
Someone suggested in my last free domain giveaway that free hosting would be something he would be excited about. So here I give it to you - Free Hosting for Life! (Yes life! My life that is).
What you have to do
- Mention and link to my site (http://59ideas.com) from anywhere it is permissible for you to do so.
Hint: You can mention this giveaway. Spread the word.
For example, your blog, a forum you participate in, comment in another blog, … be creative - Do not submit to link directories or link exchanges.
- Leave a comment here telling me where you put that link.
(Remember to leave your email so that I can contact you if you win.) - Wait for the good news!
How Winners are determined
- Statistic will be based on Google Analytics’s referral data.
- All submitted links will be ordered in decending order for the number of referrals from the link.
- Links that provides that top 20% of all referred traffic will be the winner.
For example,
Total 100 referrals from all links
Link A: 10 referrals
Link B: 6 referrals
Link C: 5 referrals
Link D: 3 referrals
all other links with 1 referral
A, B, C are winners
Terms & Conditions
Some terms and condition to guard my ass.
- The giveaway is given in good faith and mutual trust. If you do not respect that or feel that I will any way cheat you, please do not participate.
- Participants should not spam or do anything in bad faith in order to participate.
- Hosting is for a reasonable website.
Since bandwidth and storage requirement varies, I cannot host a site beyond my means.
As a simple guage, if your site can be comfortably hosted on a few dollars a month shared hosting, I can afford you. - If for whatever reason I cannot host you anymore, I will have a chat with you.
- Any ambiguity in interpretations or the lack thereof will be resolved by me and the decision will be final.
Took me a long time before getting around to sign up for an account with LinkedIn.
