Yesterday had its excitment while I slept

Yesterday was full of 2 interesting findings, even though I slept all day.

The one thing I go excited about was some national recognition YkOnline received. Here is what happened. At about 6pm I got up and opened up my MacBook as I always do and checked my stats for both websites. When I saw that YkOnline had almost tripled the amount of hits it was normally gets I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was weird as the only post I had published in 5 days was about Yellowknife’s Twitter community and didn’t think it would get very much recognition and well I was right. As I scrolled down to see where the hits were being referred from I saw that most of them were coming from Miss604.com. If you don’t know about Miss604, you should check it out. Rebecca Bollwitt blogs about Vancouver and has become very famous do it, needless to say she is an idol of mine. So when I saw all these hits coming from her site, I quickly scrambled over there. I was delightfully surprised to read in one of her latest posts she linked back to YkOnline. Not only that she explained that we (as in Yellowknifers) have TweetUps and have a directory of all the Tweeps. I was so happy to see that not only YkOnline was getting recognized but also our Twitter community.

The other interesting thing about yesterday was what I found on my truck tires. Orange lines, could they be markings done by By-Law Officers. Read my post of YkOnline about what I think.

There you have it.

Lots to do, half asleep

I’m going back to work tonight which means I will be very tired as I will only be running on 3 hours worth of sleep that I tried to get this past pm. I look forward to going back to work as it means I can focus and doing some things online I generally forget to do while I am off due to being outside and about town.

Some of the things I want to get done, if I don’t fall asleep, are:

  • Write a post for this blog
  • Write a couple posts I have in mind for YkOnline
  • Set up a Links page for YkOnline. Links from Blogs to community links to Blogger Profiles.
  • And of course watch some of the season finales that have aired over the last couple days.

We will see how I make out.

An Update and Things to do.

Well it is Monday and I go back to work tonight but I need to get somethings done before hand.

  • Figure out what classes I’m going to take at school.
  • Call school register for those classes.
  • Go to NNSL get my %50 off web subscription.
  • Write a YkClassifieds review on YkOnline.
  • Write up a CanLiving post on my Bike.
  • Continue work on the layout of YkOnline.
  • Update clients sites The Rock and SideDoor.
  • Measure and cut foam for seats in my camper.
  • I’m sure I have forgotten something

Over the weekend the Trade Show was on and I was there taking some pictures and meeting new people. It was a really good time and it was good to see so many people coming out. I wrote about it on YkOnline.ca as well as posted some of my pictures.

On Sunday after the trade show, Mothers day lunch, and when the sun finally come back I went out to the Camp Ground and got some spring photos. You can find them all [HERE] and some below.

Just Confirmed it.

That I’m crazy that is. So not only am I trying to keep 3 blogs at once I made another Twitter account making that number 3 as well. The Bushman and Ykonline will be updated more frequently as I have something to say on about them both on a regular bases. As for the CanLiving one it will still be updated ever once and a while.

For those who haven’t ventured over to YkOnline.ca yet I’m happy to say the Owner of Javaroma commented on my WiFi post I made about the coffee shop explaining that he is looking in to bring back WiFi with more restriction so we don’t have a repeat. Check it out HERE

In other News we might have our first ykTweetup this weekend. It might be at the Yellowknife Trade Show. I wrote more about it HERE
