Sending an exe file with Gmail : zip the .exe, rar the resulting .zip, now zip the .rar and rename it to .doc … Sometimes things are so simple with GMail … Update: ok, this was more a joke when I was upset than a real tip.

Warning : Adsense Falling

In: , , On: 2005 / 09 / 20 Short URL: http://ozh.in/8n

For some time from now and for an undetermined period (maybe till I'm bored with it), I will be testing a few things regarding Adsense picking and positionning. I'm not really sure yet if it's worth it for this site, but Adsense optimization looks like something interesting to investigate, and definitely something part of web design and that I want to play a bit with.

Therefore, you could see adsense appearing here and there. If I happen to have regular readers by web who ask for it, I could even add a "Hide those hideous ads" button somewhere for them. Or I could tip them into using some RSS reader :)
