Battlefield 2142 Central Opened

Battlefield 2142 Central - Home1143845268775.pngMy buddy Hee will remember us discussing this. I’ve opened the doors to my new Battlefield 2142 website. All the good short names were taken so I ended up with bf2142central.com. I have a feeling that there’s going to be a lot of competition from existing Battlefield 2 websites and a lot of BF2 players seem to have a huge hate-on for BF2142. But whatever, take a look, check it out, you might like it. At least take a look, damnit!

For this site I’ve decided to try my fourth different CMS script, Joomla.

Google Analytics

Last night I received my long awaited Google Analytics invitation. The free service describes itself as

Introducing Google Analytics. Sophisticated. Easy. Free.

Get Your Invitation »

Google Analytics tells you everything you want to know about how your visitors found you and how they interact with your site. You’ll be able to focus your marketing resources on campaigns and initiatives that deliver ROI, and improve your site to convert more visitors.

From my quick look at the data, which contains barely a few hours of activity, it will be very useful to future decisions about my websites. The Site Overlay feature is particularly cool and will graphically highlight your most clicked links.

Some screenshots below.

The Calm before the Storm

March 26, 2006 with 1 Comment

So since my girlfriend is going in for surgery next week, we decided it was a good idea to get out of town this weekend so we could relax for a couple of days. Even though Kamloops wasn’t our first choice, it was the best place to get an affordable suite with a hot tub. I’m writing this from our hotel room right now and if I wasn’t afraid of getting electrocuted, I’d post it from the hot tub. We went for a bit of a drive today (up Westsyde road till just about its end – see the Trip image on Flickr) and the strolled through Riverside park. We took some photos and I’ve posted them up at Flickr. Check them out here.

PayPal Mobile Launched

March 23, 2006 with No comments

PayPal has launched its mobile payment platform, called, of course, PayPal Mobile.

You need to register a phone and create a PIN. PayPal uses an automated system to call you on the phone and verify the PIN, and the phone is then usable.

To send a person to person payment, you either text the payment amount and recipient’s phone number to PayPal, or call a toll free number and follow the directions.
