Google Search Results Time

Well I was checking the server log and found some unique ways to get to my site.

On Google.Co.Uk
Size 16 Feet Shoes
That was a pretty interesting search. Not ranked #1 but in the top 10 =).

On Yahoo I got this one.
Imax Resolution
I wrote an e-mail to my engineer friend at IMAX trying to compare the resolution of film compared to IMAX and have been linked to from many other blogs interested in this topic.

The most common words that people use to find my site are.
“body” “napolean” “dynamite” “tristan” “blog” “tag” “codename” “amy” “pipo”

70% of the searches that hit my site are from Google. Yahoo is at 19%. The Most common browser is IE6 at 70.26% of my visitors with Firefox at 25.46%. Windows XP is the most common OS 72.65% of my hits. 9.9% with Windows 2000 and 9.55% with Macintosh. (I love my Mac Users). I have had 4 users on WebTV hit my site since I created it. Looks like 1024×768 is the most common resolution. I remember reading a book saying monitors will never get that high and it’s best to design all sites for 640×480 and high end at 800×600. I run 1280×854 on my powerbook. And my external monitor is 1920×1200. =)

Just some cool stuff for ya.

Works in Progress

Well I was doing a little laptop cleaning and I made a note a long time ago about Me and Mike started on a project to try and decode a female. Well as you can tell from the Podcasts and Blog reading we had no success and probably never will.

But I never released the sheet we had worked on. So I thought I would release the work in progress that never got finished and never will be finished. Unless I get a book deal or something. 😉 (Yeah right)

Decoding Females

Another work in progress that I have been taking the liberty to write is a bit of a long one. I sent out an early early draft to a freind and the KGB Mafia Man. Here is his e-mail I got back.

“THIS IS GOOOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MORE !!!!!!! GIVE ME ALLL!!!!!! AND THEN POST IT> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME FOR A FRIEND. IT MEANS A LOT FOR ME. SERGE.

P.S. Just don’t loose momentum – keep beign angry, it makes you awesome. I can finally hear your heart screeming and this is what people around you need to know. Go for it Kid!”

Basically this comes from the other day when I was just beyond pissed at the world. So I have been working on it. Now this thing I am working on is like “Tristan Unplugged” and it’s basically myself in this writing. The draft the two people have seen was about 3 pages. Right now it’s around 9 pages. If you think you know me well you may be totally off or just right on the money. But it will be done when it’s done.

Writing this has really helped me get to know myself so I can only imagine how it will be taken. I am not holding back everything that I have wanted to blog about and haven’t will be in this work. It’s a rather large under taking if anyone has any editing skills shoot me an e-mail would love the help.

P.S. Note to Junniper: I should just mail you a CD 😉

Useful Site!

I heard this site on the Daily Source Code a Podcast hosted by one of idols I guess Adam Curry I get a lot of IM’s saying “I don’t have an iPod how do I listen?” or “What is a podcast?”

I haven’t found any real clear way to say this. My technical mind wants to explain every little detail of it causing most people’s brains to jump out of their slide into the CD-ROM tray crawl through the internet jump out my USB port and beat my head into the keyboard saying “Shut the Hell Up Tristan I understood Internet and I hardly understand that at all”

So for the people out there I will now present.

NoiPodRequired.com
It can answer all your podcasting questions in one simple page better then I could ever describe without sending you a link to Podcasting – Wikipedia Entry Which breaks down how RSS 2.0 was created and so forth.

Which I know most of you don’t really care about. Just like you could care less about my complaint against MySpace for not having RSS for the blogs that I can throw into Fireant or Live Bookmarks or RSS Feed’s in Safari.

GMail + Google Talk = Crazy del.icio.us

Well not really but checking out the Google blog as a good SGBB I found this old article that I found rather funny.

Chat + Email = Crazy Delicious

If you are not up with the Google Talk World and a gMail user well you are so behind on the times. They have been testing a new feature where you can actually use Google Talk within gMail. It’s limited in who is testing this. I have been a gMail user since back in the day when you could actually sell a gMail invite for $20+ (Good Times).

I tend to rely on gMail and 30Boxes.com for my e-mail and calendar software. Skype is my main IM client with Google Talk and then AIM. Then we have the people on MSN Messanger and Yahoo. I can’t say I am a fan of either Yahoo or MSN but people like them. I love Skype I can just hop on have a voice chat with someone and be on my way. Call someone.

Which reminds me for those who don’t like to dial in the cell phone to call the voicemail you can leave me a Skype Voicemail my account is on the right hand side there in blue. But my account name is Tristan.Mac so if you would like to leave a voicemail for the Podcast feel free.

But I get off topic so easily. I should really limit my computer knowledge to something small. I just thought this was clever that an offical company blog had this as a closing remark.

“Now that it’s launching, we’re going to quit working Sundays. Maybe even throw back a few Mr. Pibbs and celebrate with Red Vines.”

Making Reference to SNL Lazy Sunday also for your downloading pleasure in the iTunes Music Store for your Video iPod.

Post #603 – TristanPipo.com – Show #6 – Time for Some Fun

The Podcast feed has both versions of the podcast. If you have Quicktime 7 you can play the AAC version with the enhanced features. I set out on this podcast wanting to really get a feel for Garageband 3. Try the auto-ducking feature and play with some of the loops. The next Podcast will be the feedback cast. So send in your feedback. I would like if people would call in. I have tons of e-mail, IM’s and Blogger comments. Are we afraid to talk to a machine on the phone? I know you guys don’t want to hear me reading comments for 30-50mins. Get some flavor on here. But if you want to be shy and hide under a cave that’s your deal. (206) 973-7886 Enjoy!
