Site Announcements
- I’m pleased to announce that Taylor Anderson has agreed to do an interview with me here on the site. Author of the Destroyermen series, Taylor is also an expert in naval artillery and a history professor at a local university here in Texas. We’ll post the interview on a Friday in the near future.
- Peter-Hodges.com is on track to have close to 200,000 hits and 6,000 unique visitors for the fifth straight month. You guys are making the community boom. (These numbers do not include bots.) As a matter of fact, during peak times, we’re beginning to have intermittent site failures due to CPU usage and traffic limits. My hosting package is up for renewal in August, so we’ll be looking at expanding our quotas on both.
- Because of the above, I am going to be considering a few, reputable banner ads as a potential revenue stream. I’d like to stay away from Google Adsense of the Yahoo alternative. If you are thinking about advertising on the Web, and you like a market that appeals to fans of science fiction and/or libertarian, right-of-center politics, please feel free to send me an email. I would especially like to consider non-profit organizations who influence policy for space travel or scientific research. Please note that I will not accept ads for products or organizations that I disagree with, nor will I ever, under any circumstances, consider an advertising stream that forces popups or hostile flash take-overs. I’ll continue to pay for the site out of my pocket before that happens.

Wow! I am amazed to learn that I’m not just annoying a handful of regular readers and posters… but I have the potential to annoy thousands! Thanks Pete, you made my day!

I am an investor in a breast reduction surgery center and would consider purchasing advertising space if you are not opposed to our type of business.

breast reduction?
I think you might be talking to the wrong guy there, Cat.

Another note on the site edits:
Podpress continues to be borked with the recent install of Wordpress 2.6. I am installing a temporary work-around until the devs offer a fix or update the plug-in.
If anything looks screwy, let me know.
