Warmest Greetings,

:: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 ::

Still no Google AdSense. Not sure if the folks at Comcast realize that some of their customers who have websites (like me) can't access any website on the Internet that contains Google Ads. The customer service contacts I've had so far leave me feeling ignored and wondering if they know what's happening at all, despite assurances they're "working on the problem".

Add this to your pile of "We're Gonna Do Search Engines Better" >>> IBM unveils super search engine. "The company rolled out the new platform, dubbed WebFountain, while announcing a major deal with top content provider Factiva to exploit and develop the text tracking and retrieval system that it says is revolutionary."

Pandia's news updates offer some interesting tidbits, such as Gigiblast's new type of meta tags in an age where most search engines, including Google, ignore them. Pandia also writes about the new localized search in Google and AltaVista test local search

My thanks to the owner of the Ma'at ((May-ah-t)) Foundation website, who found Cre8pc due to "destiny". I had asked Spirit for help in finding inspirational quotes and words that fit in with my peaceful nature. So, in today's email in-box I found a friendly email from someone who found my site, liked my story about how I got started and who connected with my passion, which is creating peace. The Ma'at Foundation offers links and quotes to peace oriented places and content.

Wise Words:

"If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery (Source: MA'AT Foundation)

If you own a pet, or simply like new ideas no matter how insane or far-fetched, you'll love this one. It's a device that allows you to feed your pet, remotely via the Internet, while you're away from the house. AlphaOmega Soft iSeePet

My daughter just emailed me from her computer class at school, using the "contact me" form on the Cre8pc.com site. She writes: "hi mom! i'm in computer class and i don't know if i am supposed to use this on your website so bye."

She forgot to tell me if the field hockey game is on or off due to the rain we had this morning. I live in suspense like this every day. They do it on purpose, don't they?
