I have just set up a new URL, http://simoncox.isa-geek.com, for use with my dynamic IP address at home so that I can serve up stuff from my home computer - Apple Macs have Apache servers built in don't you know! At the moment I have my Delicious Library as a set of html pages on there but expect that to change as it is over 20mb due to the huge images. Domain services to do this are free from dyndns.com.

So this guy decides to build a web page to get a billion page views and his chums will give him £1000. Never mind how much google ads revenue it will bring. A billin page views is a lot of bandwidth - not an issue if it's done over 10 years but my guess is that this thing will spiral and take about a year to get to 500 million and then it will stop. I already found an Australian site also doing a billion page views but its not as well designed as AJ's site.

When I went to look at the site tonight it was already at 400 thousand page views. Not bad but a long old way to go yet.

We were discussing this at work today: if you had a website for broken homes and the home page was broken what would that be? A broken homes broken home page? Sometimes madness can prevail.

Naturally there is a band site called Broken Home thier home page isn't broken at the moment - though its not very well coded.

David Greiner over at Campaign Monitor has posted a comprehensive guide to what CSS works in which email clients. invaluable to those who try and make email-outs look like thier website. It has tables of email clients verses the css proprties, selectors you can use and even web base support info for links. Also available in pdf format - which is very handy.
