Garden 2003

by

Here’s another view of my garden from 2003. This photo was taken just a little further down the garden bed than the last picture that I posted yesterday.

In this photo you can see the poppy heads, asiatic lily, gladiola, red poppy, beebalm, a different type of delphinium than in the first photo, nicotina, marigolds, pansies and tomatoes near the end of the row.  I think there might be some cosmo greenery and buds between the red poppies and the beebalm as well.

I love my crowded little garden but it has to go to bed soon.  It’s getting quite cold here now.






Megaglobe Search Engine

by

I just discovered a brand new search engine that’s about to start up. It’s called Megaglobe – New International Search Engine. Right now it’s spidering the web collecting websites for it’s search engine. Of course I listed 6 of my sites as soon as I saw that it was asking for url submissions. Why not?

I read a few press releases for Megaglobe and they plan to implement tools that will help put a stop to click fraud. They’re calling it “Zero Click Fraud” technology and they state it will be able to detect false clicks. This will be beneficial to advertisers and websites that place pay per click types of advertising on their sites.

Here’s an actual quote from one of the press releases:

A new search engine to be released in June will offer faster and better quality internet searches as well as providing unique protection against expensive “click through fraud” for companies who advertise in its advertisements section.

Megaglobe will be available in 45 languages thus enabling it to service the whole world. It sounds like it will be an amazing search engine as it will operate from over 300 individual country-specific URL’s, will be translated into hundreds of languages, and it will employ a unique and sophisticated algorithm to improve the quality of Internet searching. Looks like it’s setting up to rival google.

I can’t wait to fully explore Megaglobe when it starts up. It sounds good and it looks like it will be offering some kind of ad system. I’m not sure if will offer a way for website owners to make money on their websites through the use of their ads or if the ads will just be on the megaglobe pages. That’s one thing I will be checking out when it starts up. In the mean time why don’t you visit megaglobe and get your site listed too?

Blast from the past

by

Hey, I just thought I’d show you what part of my garden looked like three years ago. How do you like this photo? It has quite the assortment of plants doesn’t it?

Delphinium, lilies, poppies – blooming and producing seed heads, Cleome, a sunflower and I think I see the leaves and the bud of a dahlia. Yeah, I like an assortment of plants.

I’ve since stopped planting my plants so close together and I haven’t grown any poppies for a couple of years. Sunflowers I now grow in the front boulevard, same with the dahlias. The rest I still grow in the backyard though.
