Weekly Wrap Up 28/10/07 – Snoskred Goes Crazy And Stuff!

Oh my god, I think I truly have lost my mind. Not only did I sign up for NaBloPoMo, but I have just signed up for NaNoWriMo as well.

I’ve had this story floating around in my head for about a month now, partly inspired by Stephen King’s book Insomnia, and partly inspired by a dream I had which contained the odd concept that we all have a set amount of time here on the planet when we arrive – it doesn’t matter what we do, what we eat etc because our time of death is pre-determined. So I’ll give writing the story a go, and see what happens.

Chani is holding Accentuate The Positive on November the 1st, make sure to get involved, I already have mine written. ;)

Funny Search Terms This Week –

does someone want to give me 5 million dollars – I’d say the answer is no.. ;)

school teacherw upslirt – Maybe if you had concentrated better in school instead of trying to look up the teachers skirt, you would have been able to spell this search and find what you were looking for?

get me a site meter – For everyone who is looking for this, keep an eye out for a post from me this week – possibly on Tuesday as we don’t have a topic for the Tech Tuesday yet – about a fantastic new site meter I found that you can get for me, or you!

Now before we get into the links, I still have about 400 unread posts, so forgive me for the lack of linkage and apologies for the short wrap up.

Coming Up –

Julie has announced the Hump Day Hmmm topics for the next 3 weeks – Next Hump Day Hmm topics for 10-31, 11-7, and 11-14 – also don’t forget about Accentuate The Positive.

NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo begin Thursday. Have you signed up? If not, may I suggest doing so now, before the last minute rush? :)

Hopefully tomorrow we will be launching the new scam emails blog, fingers crossed. ;) Now I to take a break and have some Lindt chocolate or this wicked new icecream I found. Aussies, keep an eye out for Gelativo Vanilla Bean, it rocks!

weekly wrap up

Weekly Wrap Up 21/10/07

Tomorrow I am going to post what might be the most important blog post I ever write here on the blog. Some people may be insulted by it. Some people may feel guilty. Some people may shoot the messenger. The message is important and I am going to ask all of you to help me in getting the message out there by stumbling the post, digging it, posting about it on your blogs and anything else you can do to get the word out. Please don’t blame me for being the messenger or making you feel insulted or guilty. We all have a responsibility to our fellow humans to try and do the right thing but sometimes convenience and “what we’re used to” and “what seems easy” is what we do, instead of what is *right*.

I’m struggling with the wording of it right now because it is something I feel very strongly about and as it reads right now, it could be seen as.. well.. venomous. I’ll try to take the venom out, if ya’all promise you’ll read it with an open mind.

On Friday I posted about blog spam – when I posted there had been 91 spam comments in the Tan Tan Noodles spam filter. Would anyone like to take a guess at how many there are now, Sunday evening, just 2 days later? Not you Sephy, you have admin access and that would be cheating.. :)

And now onto the wrap up!

Funny Search Terms This Week –

Britney Naked – Oh come on, we’ve all seen her meat purse already! Why are you still looking for this? Seriously!

western uniuon – Looks like I’ll be getting all the mis-spelt searches for this – and it might be a great idea to create a page for the search engines..

girl who made a million dollars with adsense – I don’t believe anyone did. I’m firmly anti-adsense. Bloggers and webmasters deserve to get paid more than adsense pays. It really is that simple. Google are making a shedload out of it, I’m sure – and they need to give more back to the people supporting it.

Here On The Blog –

Tiffany Guest Posted and it was a moving read, so if you missed it check it out now.
I spoke about things I am doing to stop Online Scammers

Coming Up –

As I said at the top of the post, tomorrow a post I’m a little worried about posting – but it is important information. So I’ll grit my teeth and do it. The tech topic for this Tuesday is Skype and I’m going to show you how it can save you money – and Sephy will tell you how it works. The rest of the week may come to you as a surprise. ;)

weekly wrap up

Weekly Wrap Up 14/10/07

It has been a HUGE week with a new redesign and moving to wordpress. This week’s wrap up is a little shorter than usual because I have been too busy to keep up with my reader. Sorry about that everyone! ;)

Just before we get into the wrap up, I got an email from Neerav about the election being announced. If you’re in Australia you will want to read this post – Enrol and Register To Vote: You Can Make A Difference

Funny Search Terms This Week –

ways to get back at my sister – Now this is just sad. You don’t need to get back at her – it is bad karma for yourself. Take the high road. Be the better person, build a bridge and walk over it. ;)

what country does romeo and juliet born – Now I have to search to find out. I don’t think Shakespeare said a particular country.

picture of big jersey cows milk under – Do you mean udder? Is this some new weird kind of pr0n?

Coming Up –

This Tuesday we’re wrapping up some Blogger stuff on the Think Tank, I’m going to tell you a bit about the house as well as my plans for a housewarming party and hopefully we’ll have a men we love to watch this week, just for fun.

I’m so exhausted after a long day of chores so I’m off to bed, be good ya’all!

weekly wrap up

Weekly Wrap Up 07/10/07

This week has been huge for me in terms of learning about WordPress. This time last week I was quite frankly terrified about switching to WP. Now, I am thrilled and excited about it. I can’t wait to switch over and show you guys what I have created. ;) Hopefully that will be early this week – I’m just trying to break it now, making sure everything works.. :) I will let you know when it is happening. And now, on to the wrap up.

Funny Search Terms This Week –

is there a picture of alf with an oxygen mask on – Do you mean Alf the tv alien? I don’t know.. ;)

pregnant woman driven crazy by barking dog – I don’t think pregnancy increases your chances of being driven crazy by a barking dog. I think a barking dog is annoying to all – other than the owners of said dog – regardless of their gender or whether or not they are pregnant. ;)

aussie pie shop wont go halal – And nor should they have to, if they don’t want to. This is Australia in the year 2007, not Australia back in the days when it wasn’t safe to eat Pork. We have refrigeration here. We have a thriving pork industry. Halal is a hangover from about 2,000 years ago. Just because it says something in a book, and that applied back in those days, does not mean we all have to obey it now in a different age entirely. It’s your choice to eat Halal, and it is a shops choice to go Halal. That’s up to them. Customers can choose to go there – and if they wont because it is not Halal, the shop loses out. Pies include meat, and often bacon. Build a bridge. Eat somewhere else.

neil diamond wig – There’s no doubt, the man has some great hair.. ;)

sexist designer advertisements – Allrighty then..

spoiled country bitches – Yeah, that’s me. You’ve come to the right place! ;) hehe

belly dancer confessions sex owner tips – I am thinking of taking up belly dancing actually. ;) They have lessons here where I live.

where sequins come from – Is it the same place babies come from? ;)

Here On The Blog –

It’s been a busy week here on the blog.

Thomas from Technical Blogger got out of his niche with a great kitties post. If you missed it be sure to check it out!
I did my second ever CD review – Madonna – Confessions On A Dance Floor.

The Tuesday Think Tank was about HTML this week and I wrote – Basic HTML for Bloggers.
I answered some Questions.
I posted about one of my scammers thinking Heidi Klum is just “okey”.

Past Snoskred –

Travel back in time and read my thoughts about – saving wildlife in Australia

Coming Up –

Another huge week – possibly the biggest ever because sometime this week I will be migrating to the new blog. So far it is looking good, even if I do say so myself. ;) Hopefully it will all go well.

weekly wrap up

Weekly Wrap Up 30/09/07

Another busy week. I have two boxes left to unpack, and that is us all moved in. My office is now completed, most of the pictures are up on the walls, and I’m almost done washing, drying and ironing, for now at least. :) Onto the wrap up!

Funny Search Terms This Week –

pictures of fishes off of finding meno – Meno, I think they’re on to you.. do you need a place to hide out? :)

song with the lyrics:i’m your buck a roo, i’ve been watching you – I hope these were not the same people. ;) What scary lyrics!

why plympton rent is less cheap adelaide – Because of the tram line. Everyone loves the tram! ;)

girls needing sex in brisbane – Ohhhkay then. ;) And you think you’re the one who can provide this service?

prince harry hardon – Yes, it is here on the blog – check my past Snoskred section below for the link. ;) He has some family jewels all right.

747 plane crash images for myspace blog – That sounds like a lovely my space blog you’re putting together there. No really, people can’t resist a good plane crash image. People love to be reading a blog and then have death and unpleasantness come to them as a surprise. I’m sure it will be a huge success.. NOT!

niche oops oh my song words – I have no idea what you’re looking for but I hope you found it somewhere.

dazzleland myer what happened – Bizarrely, making the top two floors of a shopping centre into a mini theme park complete with rollercoaster didn’t turn out to be a success. I can’t understand why. I went on that rollercoaster enough times to keep it going all on my own. Sad but true.

opal tribble beauty products – Someone from Trinidad and Tobago is looking for you and your beauty products, Opal. I hope they made it to your site!

Here On The Blog –

– I said goodbye to a good thing

– First it was the big cat, and now the little kitty has taken the keyboard

– Liv took the chance to jump out of her niche.

Think Tank Tuesday was about Google Reader

I mentioned why when it comes to Spam and Scam Emails – you should Never Unsubscribe and Never Reply to them.

Past Snoskred –

Travel back in time and read my thoughts about – Britney Spears Is A Bad Dresser and only because someone searched for it – Prince Harry’s Family Jewels. Shocking past posts!

Coming Up –

Get your notepads out ya’all, because the Tuesday Think Tank this week is HTML, and I’m going to give you some great code to grab and squirrel away to use on your blog. ;)

I do have the next two weeks planned out and mostly written, because I’m taking some time to learn WordPress and start the process of switching over. Rather than spoil it all, I’ll let it come to you as a surprise. ;)

Weekly Wrap Up 23/09/07

Another busy week. There’s a lot of linkage here this week so drop by and check it out – have I linked to you? :) Get clicking and read some wonderful posts I found lurking around the BlogOsphere. ;)

Funny Search Terms This Week –

aluminum underpants – Ok I know why I wrote it, but why are you searching for it? A new fetish? ;)

how can i cut my hair the feng shui way/and view it – I have absolutely no idea. ;)

missile launch codes – I’m still getting a lot of hits for this. Do these people have access to missile launch panels where you type the codes in, is what worries me? ;)

ask questions about black and white cows – is this racism for cow questions? What’s wrong with asking questions about the brown and white cows? The all one color cows?

Here On The Blog –

I spoke about my Miele Condenser DryerFacibus guest posted in my new Jump Out Of Your Niche Friday feature – I began to see The Light At The End Of The Tunnel – I spoke about how I make a difference with Internet Scams – I talked about my Fear Of Dogs.

Think Tank Tuesday was about Technorati and one of the crew from Technorati dropped by and left a comment on both my post and Sephy’s post – The Ups (and Downs) of Technorati

Past Snoskred –

Travel back in time to November 2006 and read my thoughts about – My Funeral and what I would like to happen to me when I *ahem* leave this planet. I want to be made into something sparkly!

Coming Up –

Think Tank Tuesday is about Google Reader this week. Sephy and I are going to swap roles, I’m taking the technical side because I have found some AMAZING and wonderful tips to make your blog reading faster. Well, Sephy told me about them, so.. ;) But I can tell you how wonderful they are, and it’ll have screenshots and everything! Yay!

The Jump Out Of Your Niche feature is booked up till the end of October now but I still want to encourage anyone reading this to get on board.

I’ll be back tomorrow with an as yet undetermined post. ;)

weekly wrap up

Weekly Wrap Up 16/09/07

It’s just a quick wrap up this week due to my internet connection playing up, my apologies all. I’m only going to post the funnies and my favourite articles from the last week. I’m not really in the mood to struggle with this wireless constantly dropping out in order to finish the other sections.

The actual internet connection is fine, it is the wireless between here and The Other Half’s room which is the issue. Concrete walls and steel reinforcements don’t seem to help! I may complete the wrap up in a separate post tomorrow, if we can get this sorted.

Funny Search Terms This Week –

how to puswad your mum – I suppose this one could be a LOT worse. But Mums everywhere, watch out. In particular, mums whose kids are using Opal Telecom Dsl Network in the UK and whose computer uses internet explorer 6, windows XP, and 1024×768 screen resolution. Just in case you happen to be reading this. ;)

how to made sequin in photoshop – I hate to point this out but you can’t actually make physical things like sequins with photoshop. You can manipulate photos, and that’s about it. ;)

10 ways to clear your sinuses – I don’t know but if you find out can you let me know? ;)

morten harket dressed in norwegianmorten harket leatherpics of morten harket naked – It seems like everyone wants to see Morten but they’re not quite sure what they want him to be wearing. :) I’m voting for leather myself.

spray high powered water jets into pussys – I think this is quite an unwise idea, for *both* definitions of the word. ;) Don’t be squirting anything into pussys, either the kitty variety or the *ahem* female gentialia variety.

australians all a bunch of convicts – Yep, that’s right. So don’t mess with us! :)

weekly wrap up

Weekly Wrap Up 09/09/07

It’s been a busy week of moving for me this week, and also a busy week here on the blog. The wrap up is smaller this week due to me not being able to read many blog posts – I will have a larger wrap up next week which may include some of the posts I missed reading this week.

Funny Search Terms This Week –

wierd sex insertions snakes – Oh dear..

makes 5 million a year from mail order – Not possible, I’m afraid, has to be a scam. :)

how to rob a bank nigerian man who collect 5 million dollars – If you want to know how to rob a bank, watch Point Break. It should teach you that you can die doing it, so it’s a stupid idea!

Here On The Blog –

This week, we had Pearl from Interesting Observations drop by with a question. Thanks, Pearl!

I spoke about Spam, Spiders and Dofollow in the Tuesday Think Tank. This week’s Hump Day Hmm was about Values. I gave some Cereal Confessions, posted an Update that Came as a Surprise and also put up A Photo of Myself.

Past Snoskred –

Travel back in time and read my thoughts about some of the more sombre anniversaries this time of year – the passing of Steve Irwin and Peter Brock, and September 11th.

Coming Up –

We’ll have to wait and see – I have the thoughts of the day pre-blogged but other than that I’m out of pre-written material. :)

Weekly Wrap Up 02/09/07

refer to yourself using name – Are people confused about how to refer to themselves? ;)

she loves cows – Ayuh, she does. And I do. :)

sex therapy–photos – oh, you mean pr0n? Why not just search for pr0n?

snoksred – I’m used to seeing Snoskred, but someone searched for me and found me even though they mis-typed?

snokesred scam – And another one! Ya’all, it’s simple to spell. Snos and kred. Add them together. There you have it. ;) Sort of like K-fed and K-rudd. But better. :) You can just call me Snos if you like.

Here On The Blog –

This week we were blessed with two wonderful guest posters – River and Dorothy from Grammology. Thank you both so much for taking the time to contribute a guest post. I appreciate it!

Weekly Wrap Up 26/08/07

During the week I spotted this incredible shot in my sidebar from airliners.net – all I can say is WOW. Look at the people ducking under the plane! The wake turbulence from a plane that big flying over your head that low.. it must have been an incredible experience.

Here’s another shot taken just seconds later from a different angle, see all the sand getting kicked up from the wake turbulence? That’s one heck of a way to exfoliate. ;)

Funny Search Terms This Week –

Just when I thought I had seen all the sexual fetishes that existed on the internet, a new search term came to me as a surprise this week. I must say I got a good laugh out of this one, though the mental image I can do without.. ;)

crapping in a codpiece – I did once mention the word codpiece, in my “The Pirate Movie” review. Still, I can’t seem to find myself in the search results for it.

giving baby whiskey – STILL! Every time I see this I feel like I have to say don’t do it!

if you deposit and spend money on a counterfeit check can you be arrested? – Absolutely you can – it is very likely.

dream kangaroo attacking chasing – Sounds like some kind of nightmare. :)

Here On The Blog –

The big news in Snoskredland this week is We’re Moving at long last. Yay! Many of you know we’ve been looking for a place in our dream location for a while now.

On Think Tank Tuesday, I spoke about 14 Reasons Readers Unsubscribe From Your Blog and Sephy spoke about Tuesday Think Tank: All About RSS – if you missed his post be sure to check it out because it was fantastic.

I mentioned how I have a big.. camera lens .. it’s not how big it is, it’s what you do with it, right?

I Challenged Ya’all to compliment great service and products you love – note there’s some pics of the new place we’re moving to in that post. I also spoke about some of our past Neighbours.

And finally yesterday I Thanked The West Wing.

Past Snoskred –

Someone sent me an email this week about a post they’d read of mine from the new Snoskred Is sidebar – Prince Harry and his *ahem* large family jewels – I thought I’d share it with ya’all again. Also, I’m a bad daughter – and I still am a bad daughter, setting those little popup reminders :)

Coming Up –

I had so many blog links this week I’ve kept them for tomorrow’s Blog Hints post. Also in that post, I will reveal why Snoskred refers to herself in the third person so often – it isn’t what you think.

This coming Think Tank Tuesday the topic will be Blog Templates. I’ve got a great post on things your readers might be seeing when they look at your blog. Sephy will be covering a few basics on how to change Blogger templates.

On Wednesday the Hump Day Hmmm topic is School – I’ve already written my post.. Please feel free to take on the Hump Day Hmmm, all are welcome.

On Thursday we will be having a surprise guest post! If anyone reading this would like to put up their hand as a guest poster over the next 2 weeks while I’m moving, shoot me an email. :) I’ve asked a few people personally to guest post for me but I’d love to hear from anyone who would like to try it.

As you can probably tell, I have pre-blogged a lot of this. ;) I’ll be busy packing up the house but I’m not going to leave my loyal readers without something to read.
