Timepost - dependency on John Chow dot com

Jake Stone — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:55:40 +0000

I am very much dependant on John Chow what comes to my traffic and I really hate it. I have to do something about this and fast. Biggest problem in this is that it doesn’t scale, John Chow as a visitor source is almost constant and what will happen when the top commentor plugin is taken away?? No good. I have to cut my dependency of foreign oil

At the time of writing I have about 6134 inlinks pointing to my domain. When this post comes out that amount must be much higher with or without John Chow.

Timepost - tangible results

Biggest difficulty with this posts like this are that results are not visible immediately. I have to wait for a year and after the first timeposts I will slowly see where will they take me. It might be that these posts are completely in vain and then I have one year of posts scheduled to publish. This is business, you work and have no certainty about the result.

Timepost - getting crowded

Do you have any idea how crowded it will be in my “scheduled” folder?

Timepost - extended media

I’ve been thinking the spread of text. I suppose I have to make the jump to using video and sound on this blog. Now that is a rift to cross. It is a whole another game to show your face online compared to faceless and nameless (well, not really, just whois me if you really need to know) text editing.

I already have some old gear at my disposal and it is just matter of heavy drinking when I get the idea of posting some dreadful video post explaining the benefits of wearing ones socks over hands and stuffing cigarettes on my nose. Just because of that gloomy and shameful future, I need to make the jump, no matter how difficult. Well, no extended media here, not even photos, move along…

Timepost - lately I’ve been…

Picking up movie stars and watching their whole production from early days to present. It does take awfully long and sometimes it is a pain to find the next movie in the line. It is oddly rewarding though.

I was always into history and sure enough I’ve seen myself and close ones to age. This is something that I have already accepted and that is bad, because acceptance gives permission to not focus or fuzz about it. Life turns into a stream that goes by and there is very little one thinks of it.

While serial watching somebody’s movies, you get to see the screen life of that person in matter of weeks. Somehow this has made me understand the passing of time in whole new light. Being only a spectator still has power! I’m in my own movie and there is plenty of action and drama in it, if I so choose. You also have the choice, what film you want to lead?

Timepost - compounding posts

Jake Stone — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:16:00 +0000

This is funny little experiment executed in totally mental manner. Here I am, writing posts that remain in a limbo for a year before emerging to collective consciousness of world’s bloggers. Take that as an example of great ROI. One year all work and no pay, most rational people write, post and immediately get growing traffic. Don’t try this at home unless you want to starve. However, I do encourage you to write occasional timepost or whatever you want to call it. I guarantee that you’ll enjoy the wise words of your younger self. Try a post that shoot 10 years to the future.

Actually that might make a nice little website. Futurepost.com or something, write a post, maybe twitter length and it will be published after some time period. Imagine first… let’s say 3 years of complete white screen and finally posts start to appear. If nobody knew what the interval will be… Constant neurotic behaviour until that day! Yeah. Let’s see who puts it up, you can have a link from me.

Timepost - Out in the open

Jake Stone — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:31:31 +0000

First visible post is out of the cage and sitting wild in interconnected web. The whole idea of my first post is to update and promote it and by doing this give it some undeserved attention. During the coming years (hah, can you believe domain like this is to stay in the long run) I hope to update the title (visitor count) higher and higher. No photos yet, because those were a pain to link properly.

Timepost - my first official post

Jake Stone — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:19:03 +0000

Year ago tomorrow is the day for my first official post in Fake Money Blog (capital letters make anything official). I wrote the framework today and plan to go it through tomorrow and then post it.

Has anyone been watching TV-series called Heroes? Even after this second post I start to get all mixed up on how should I deal with time referrals… Should I use the point of view of a current timeposter or a future timeposter, after all you are reading this right now, but for you I wrote this crap a year ago. I’ll probably deal with it like I deal with this blog - drop it to the floor after use like dirty underwear. And just like my wife, I believe some of you will read after my lines and keep yapping about it.
