HBSMC Fee Summary - 2007 (Final)

Just like my partial 2007 review back in July, because my online earnings are public knowledge, I will only present percentages of my earnings. Otherwise you would be able to figure out how little or how much I really made in 2007!

In Case Of Accident - Break Glass

My father-in-law is Herbert König, proprietor and owner of Corydon Clock Repair here in Winnipeg. He recently turned 73 years old and has been working full time in his leased premises 5-6 days a week, commuting back and forth from his apartment. His stated hours are Tuesday to Friday, Noon to 6pm .. but he was often at his shop before 6am starting his day repairing clocks. Other days he was available by appointment only, but sometimes went into the shop to catch up on his work. He is a busy man!

On November 7, 2007 at 10:30am in the morning .. he was in a car accident.

BrrrRrrrrRRr … Welcome to Winterpeg!

It’s hard to believe that we were watching the Football Game here on November 18, 2007 with +10c temperatures (albeit a bit windy that day). However, Winnipeg has been living up to its name as the cold and snowfall has slowly been creeping up on us.

* I might have to start wearing socks with my CROCS!

HART’s Bloglines Account - Under Review - By Me!

Well .. I’ve got 5 types of folders in my Bloglines filled with RSS Feeds

(1) ARTICLES FOR EACH BLOG TOPIC

These are feeds of articles that are subject oriented, and affect one of my blog. I might name a folder called “ARTICLES For PetLvr.com” etc. There may be searches included for specific keywords that are around the ‘net, or a collection of other people’s sites and other tidbits that helps me blog about that topic. Generally I don’t open the folder for review until I’m ready to deal with everything inside the folder, because with Bloglines .. I try to “KEEP” articles until another time I am fully ready to use or discard.

(2) ARTICLES FROM OTHER BLOG NETWORKS

But That’s No Consolation to my PETLVR.com - [The Blog] Readers

FINALLY!

The DNS and nameservers “appear” to have kicked in. This means that my “planned” migration from the June upgrade to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) to the new Dedicated Server plan August 1, 2007 .. has finally been made.

I say “appear” because I still do not know for sure. All my reference sites that identify the IP of the address of, say .. THIS blog for instance .. show up as the IP of the old server. Yet, if you can see a message at the top of this post proves that it is on the dedicated server, because it was added only to the dedicated server’s version of the template.

I’m DEDICATED To You Guys Now!

I combined my two previous servers (ISP#1 the mega provider and ISP#2 the reseller provider) on June 8th to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) system. Basically, it’s like a quarter of a real server and limits the CPU resources to 25%. Well .. in the past several weeks I have kept reaching these limits and my network was blinking out. Occassionally, you will come to a site of mine and see the old “default Kubrick” blog template.

Well - today I have upgraded everything to a dedicated server and things seem to still exist - so, that’s good!

Rest In Peace Jean Daum

Story from Winnipeg Sun reproduced at Battling-Cancer.com

I am an avid reader of Coffee News .. I read it every week since *AT LEAST* the Palatal Mongolian Stir Fry Restaurant opened up across the street a few years ago .. and periodically whenever I would stop inside Tim Horton’s to each lunch and enjoy an extra large coffee.

There are weird news .. (of which I probably read before on the internet - but, that never mattered) .. there are local community news .. there are horoscopes .. and jokes .. and quizes and advertisements! This Coffee News publication literally made it possible for people - like me - who wanted to enjoy their favorite food joint and coffee or donut place (ALONE) and not be embarrassed to eat there (ALONE) and forced to eat in their car from the drive-thru take-out window.

You don’t have to pretend to NOT watch people as they are sticking their forks in their teeth or picking their nose or have chocolate donut all over their face … You can just enjoy sipping your coffee and lunch or snack reading the Coffee News! Yep! It is nice to sip on a coffee and read the latest issue of Coffee News every week!

Jean Daum was truly an Entrepreneur .. and from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada! I was sad to read that she had passed away yesterday after battling with cancer for years.

My condolences to the family. Coffee News is a great legacy left to the communities of the world - i.m.h.o.

WHAT IS COFFEE NEWS?

Coffee News has the weeks funniest and most unusual news stories, jokes, trivia, amazing facts, horoscopes, lucky numbers and more. Everything in it is fun and entertaining - no bad news here. It is a very big breath of FRESH AIR to millions of readers whose only other source of news is bad or negative.

COFFEE NEWS IS POSITIVE. It provides the “other side of the news”, - something that makes people SMILE!

Coffee News originated in 1988 in Winnipeg, Manitoba (CAN) and is the brainchild of Jean Daum, an expert in, not only advertising itself, but in super learning and subliminal techniques as well — many of which she designed and researched herself to make Coffee News one of the most potent, yet affordable advertising publications ever produced.

Coffee News is a weekly publication delivered to restaurants, coffee shops and pubs that also serves the advertising needs of small businesses. It has been proven that people absorb more advertising messages before or during eating, as there is a need for mental input — food for thought– during this time period. Coffee News is designed to take full advantage of this fact.
