Since I don't really use this page for very serious blogging-things anymore, I might as well just tell you that I have been up to a lot of Starcraft II gaming. I've been a big fan of the first Starcraft but kind of stopped playing it when it grew really old. Besides I was never that much of a tactical genius. Now that Starcraft II is out I'm a happy collectors edition owner. Not that there's barely a difference between collectors edition and a normal one but at least I've pre-ordered it all right.

Beat the single player part already (today) and have been playing a lot with my friends. We held a release party even. One day after the release, lol.

Anyway, maybe I'll write a little about the game sometime if I feel Blizzard isn't getting too damn much attention already. Will depend very much on how busy I will be with the game though.

See? We are the number ones in our division! Wicked.

In a few days, or with a bit of luck, tomorrow, I should write something on boonbot.com too. Something with a little more content. Seems traffic there has pretty much died out, I guess it needs some serious SEO that website. But anyway, see you. And drop a line if you're playing Starcraft 2 as well.

I've been trying a number of ways to drive a little bit of new traffic to my page boonbot.com. Decided on searching the web a bit for websites offering free advertisement in exchange for having their ad put on your site, thus creating a network of people sharing ads. There's a number of possibilities but it's not a very big business it seems. I couldn't find any page that seemed really professional about it.

Many of them have some crazy return ratio such that you'll have to display two ads for every one time you can have your displayed somewhere. At a few of them, it's more fair, but none of those I have tried were any good. Some networks will display almost as many of your ads as you've displayed of theirs but wont drive traffic your way. I have been displaying ads from the service "Spottt" for a while now. I have shown 117 ads and generated 5 clicks in a few days. My ad was shown 90 times and not clicked once and many of the sites I seem to be exchanging with are placing their ads in places where visitors will rarely see them, and that's even against the rules of the service. It also matches me up with a bunch of totally unrelated sites. I write about culture, food and travel and it puts up ads for websites on how to take care of your dog or fish.

So I have decided to try it out myself. Since it doesn't seem like there is any good big website for creating a decent free advertisement exchange network, I might as well try it out. Not that I expect great things of it, but if I can get it rolling, it might be fun.

I put up a website on my old domain zunavi.dk (don't go there, it might be broken.)
It's on the subdomain http://ads.zunavi.dk where you can find the website. I just made it in a few days so it's not aesthetically pleasing and needs a lot of features, but I made it work fine and put up ads on my website boonbot.com.

Here, I'll put up an ad unit here and you can see it:

If you think it sounds interesting and want in, go see if you can figure out how to use it and be welcome to write me some feedback here on my blog. Link below:
Zunavi Ad Exchange.

I just found out about this website that can help you learn languages amongst other things for free. I'm quite surprised. Before I went to Taiwan, I was surfing around the web, searching for online opportunities to learn Japanese, then Chinese after it was decided I should go to Taiwan. All I found of free stuff was a few articles with useful words that weren't helping much with learning and weren't really newbie friendly. And then there were also some subscription based services with podcasts and stuff that looked more interesting, which I did, however, decide not to try out.

Anyway: Here's an interesting website which is mostly free I guess. (Actually, where do they earn their money? Users donating or affiliated services?)

Regardless of that, you can try it out at Smart.fm. (Here's My Profile, if you wanna socialize.)

I just tried out a Chinese and a French lesson. Maybe I could use this one to keep my Chinese fresh or even avoid failing my French exam next year if I work hard.

Seems one can also study geography and the period table with more and it's free, so if you have time and feel there might be something you'd like to learn using simple computer games, you should try and take a look.

I also just got back from Taiwan. I'm now in Denmark so it's a little late already. Here's my blog on boonbot.com about me going back home.

Got some slightly unexpected responses from two of my friends from posting this video on facebook, so I'll just share it here as well. It's really good.

It's E.D.I.T. by Capsule, one of my new fave Japanese bands. If you liked that music video, here's another great one from the same band:

Anyway. Yesterday I signed up for Plurk. If anyone is familiar with Plurk and has an account there, go ahead and Add me. Or at least just say hi or whatever. If you don't know what plurk is, it's a Taiwan based website a la something in between Twitter and Facebook.

I also wrote more stuff on Boonbot.com. Please check out my:
Post on the products exhibited at Computex 2010.

I've noticed that traffic for this site went down a lot since I stopped posting often. Actually I've moved to another site where I do the main blogging, but it doesn't get the same amount of traffic as this site just yet. Actually traffic to this site fell more than it increased on the other one. I'm kind of sad. :(

Anyway, I've been writing about Computex 2010 that I went to recently. It was a really great show and makes me think if I might have a future in technology. Can't rule out the possibility that I will be supplying schools with all sorts of cheaper and improved alternatives to all the expensive stuff they already buy. Also think it could be fun to see if I can open up a webshop and sell eReaders or other gadgets, but I didn't have any related education in those kind of things except for Marketing and I have no money to start out with. Maybe I'll start an import webshop later in my life if I find some costumer interest in Denmark later in my life.

Anyway, have a look at my post on Computex Booth Designs:
