Finally, the project I’m working on has been named! Games and Bytes is the name my friend decided to use for her website; bought the domain name just today and instantly set up a coming soon image (this isn’t the logo yet).
On the development side, I finished setting up FTP accounts, mail, and all other stuff this website will need. Tested out Kohana on DreamHost, and it works perfectly fine. I was able to install the framework perfectly without encountering any errors at all. By far, this is the framework with the easiest installation process I was able to install on DreamHost. Now that my development environment has been set up, now all I need is to finish the design phase to proceed on programming.
After more than two years of waiting, my Google Adsense finally reached the hundred dollar minimum limit to claim the earnings.
I do know my websites aren’t that popular to be able to earn monthly from it, but I’m happy to have some extra cash without doing anything but placing advertisements on my site.
Maybe in another two years again, Google! Cheers!
December 2009, I won the Spirit Animals Book Giveaway on Abduzeedo. I only posted about this now, since I got the package just today. And boy I’m happy! Besides the reason of getting the book for free, it really is beautifully inspiring, with artworks from nine talented artists.
Even if I don’t seem like it, I am actually a believer about spirits, zodiacs and astrology, so this book really is very interesting for me. I’m so glad that this ended up being mine. Big thanks to Hannah Stouffer, for the book. She’s my favorite illustrator in this lovely book, and she was also the one who sent this to me. Also, thank you to Abduzeedo for helding a wonderful contest!
