More insideous advertising creeping into the stories.

Is there no end to my quest to make money off the goodwill of you fine people?



Just below the related links box is a new google advertising feature type thing.

It's a list of the keywords that google have found in the page that you're reading.

That's it.

In more google related news, I managed to cash the adsense cheque that they sent me. Only 20% of it was taken in bank charges. That's what you get for cashing a USian cheque.

Details are on the accounts page

Of course, they're now offering to pay in local currency, which is nice.



I got the finance documents for the laptop the other day.

I must remember to pay it off as soon as the 12 months is up.

Price of laptop £500.
Early payment charge if you take the 12 months option £50.
Total if you remember to cough up in time £550

Interest charged if you don't take the 12 month option £400.
Total if you don't cough up in time £900.

That's one date I definately don't want to forget.



More hulver money news.

I just transfered my current Credit card balance to a 0% interest for 7 months thing. Hopefully I'll have it all paid off before they start charging interest on it. Even if I don't, it'll still be less interest on the remainder.

Also, April is the last payment I have to make to my Dad to pay him off the money he lent me.

This time next year I'll be a millionaire debt free! (Apart from the mortgage)
