Galaxia has a nice new front page with a background image I made myself. I’ve also now got Google AdSense links on there which is cool. Progress on Galaxia is going slowly, mainly because I don’t have enough time to work on it (my life suddenly seems very busy).

I also decided to put the AdSense link on here, mainly as a way to get the site indexed by Google

I’ve decided to restart this thing concentrating solely on my online activities. Which seem to be increasing a lot lately. This will also serve as the news part of the main page when I write it.

Just for the record, it was Martin Kirk’s and Andrew Sherwood’s birthday yesterday.

I now have 6 referrals on Clickthru, two of which are earning me something. I’m up to about $0.40 a day between the two main domains, and I’m now earning Clickthrus faster than I can spend them. So I’ll have to start using the other domains (with much lower CPC earnings :o( )

I ended up talking to Rachel, Sara’s friend, last night for a while (just a little while). Unfortunately I don’t have the clever privacy thing setup yet (since this is all still file based and manually edited :o( ) so I won’t be telling anymore. Sorry.

I had an absolutely pathetic mid-term test today. Complex Variables. It was open book and the lecturer kept giving hints throughout the test until he eventually told us the answer to one of the questions and gave us extra time to write it down!

Then onto the ULU Salsa class. More girls than guys there (as usual) but fewer people in general since some universities have already broken up. I got to know one of the guys there called Jeremy. As a weird coincidence he’s the equal opportunities officer for Queen Mary’s.

Not really a fun day so far. A bit of hassle with Donna Castle paying my rent - mainly my fault. And generally not fun in university today.

On to hopefully happier things, it’s Ballroom Bronze and Silver classes today. Hopefully I’ll be able to spin turn without accidentally doing a V6 today.

The classes were fun. Bronze was especially fun because Camilla as there and she’s just generally cheerful. Silver was fun because I actually managed to do what they were doing (a fishtail in the Quickstep) as well as getting to dance with Alice which is just sooo easy.

FFg64 (a Galaxia player) is making a Galaxia comic. Wow! Amazing! Like cool! Yeah!

Wow, what a surprisingly fun evening. First, 3 hours of team practice. Managed to mess up Waltz and Quickstep completely with both Anne Marie and Phyllis by getting confused by the V6 and overturning all my spin turns. Some of time was also spent chatting to Jennifer about how annoying Andy (the team captain) can be - especially to beginners (ironic really). And then (and this is the fun bit) I went to a casino with John, Alex Kostas and Jennifer.

Scarily posh place. In fact three of changed into our ballroom shoes because trainers are definitely allowed in. Didn’t actually do any gambling if you were wondering - just kept having free soft drinks. For the record: Blackjack $5 minimum bet, 3 card Poker $10 ante and Roulette $1 minimum bet.

I got a message from Shaun as well. He just asked if I was still alive…

I got all impulsive again and bought a Christmas present for Mel. Not sure when it will arrive as I ordered it from America. Should be cool though :o)

No free referrals with Clickthru, but almost $1 Clickthru cash a day - that’s twenty visitors. And that’s for not doing anything. Pretty cool. Of course it only works because I happen to have found one of the few things on the internet that actually monetizes crap traffic.

Ha, something odd just occurred to me. What sort of site could I make that gets tons of crap traffic? It’s a possibility once I get home…

I also added the Links page last night.

Well I was impulsive and signed up to Clickthru Rewards for $16.95. So I need to make approximate $40 in two years of these domains to get my money back. Should be a doddle :o)

More about dancing :o) Yesterday I saw a girl there who I met at the very first class I went to - never seen her since. And I think she has a girlfriend. The guy Rosy is always with turned up today without Rosy (but she did turn up later). Not really conclusive either way. A strangely adulant woman was there again - I don’t remember seeing since the second Salsa IC Salsa class. And I still prefer dancing with Anne Marie.

The beginners’ team practice was a bit odd today. Dorothy seemed to be having a go at everyone a lot, but was doing so cheerfully. Although there was one thing she said that to me seemed way out of line: One of the girls who hasn’t been going very long was having trouble with the V6 and was dancing with Sherwin. Dorothy pointed out that Sherwin had managed to get it right with everyone else he danced with so it must be her fault. Probably true but still nasty…

Last night after the Latin sliver class (an hour of solid Jive by the way) I did an odd psychology test for Jennifer. It was basically to see if your emotional state affected what type of words you remembered. I said I performed worse than I should have done because I had to count for five seconds myself per word (when I should have been concentrating more on remembering the words). She said it was to counteract my abnormally high IQ. What the? Okay so I’m doing a Math’s degree, but I’m not doing it at Imperial. Which means anybody else there has a better claim to that little piece of fame.
