PayPerPost is getting a lot of flak
PayPerPost are a fairly new company offering yet another revenue stream for bloggers (although for most blogs the existing ones probably aren’t earth shattering). This one’s a lot more controversial on the surface however. You get paid to write content about something specific. And you get paid quite a lot (at least in blogging revenue terms), usually about $5 per post.
It has however pissed quite a few people off. Jason, CEO of Weblogs seems to be one of the loudest. I’m going to take the wimpy way out and simply say it’s a tool with potential, that can be abused.
But in the long that’s not a problem for the blogosphere. If you destroy your own integrity by blatantly posting ads instead of actual content you will lose out as surely as if you filled the page with conventional advertising. If you don’t annoy your readers however, you will be fine. In this case it means choosing “opportunities” (that’s what PPP call them) that are actually relevant. That’s how Google AdSense came to be accepted, remember?
OrbWars
By soon of course, I actually mean I'm not sure when exactly, but that it will be in the near future - probably a month or two.
The old website is back, nothing much on there at the moment, just a teaser image, but I'll put updates on there as I get things finalised!

New OrbWars/Galaxia Forums
Galaxia and OrbWars forums have merged. Not terribly apparent since there haven’t been any Galaxia forums for a long time and as such it only has one actual forum.
But still, check it out:

Read that in a Mario voice, it works better :S
Anyway, Oliver gave me a section on here, which is cool. I'm just admiring the very cool software it is powered by, all these smooth curves and clean lines - very nice!
OrbWars is great by the way. And if Oliver will continue writing bits of it it will become the best! mwuhahahaha!
