Frogs, Greed or What?
I spend a good amount of time this morning reading "Interview with an Adware Author" at Philosecurity. The Adware author is Matt Knox, who worked at Direct Security before they were sued by the New York Attorney General's Office. The article itself is interesting though probably nothing that most readers here will find surprising. The comments are more fascinating as most of them are back and forths between co-workers at Direct Revenue and Christopher Boyd (paperghost) of Vitalsecurity.org.
Small Business Advertising Advice Quite a few of the folks who read this website are small, independent computer consultants, full or part-time. Most of those readers probably have an ad at our Unix and Linux Consultants listings. Here's the interesting thing: some tell me they do very well with that and get leads from it often, others tell me they've been there for years and have never had a nibble. That seems odd, doesn't it?
Speed up your site I liked the point that was made in this books foreword: if you don't think site speed matters, put in some code that artificially delays loading your pages for ten seconds - and report back in a week..
