You have reached one of the old pages on this site

I switched from Blogger to Movable Type on September 7, 2003. This page was made before that time. I'm keeping it here so that incoming links and bookmarks still work. No problem, really, just be aware that these old pages will not be updated.

All of the old content was moved into Movable Type, and is accessible from the home page. We now returned to your regularly-scheduled blog.

Web whoredom

I showed Jay my blog the other day and he wanted to know if there was a way to make money from having a blog. It turns out there is, and it isn't even particularly indecent or immoral. Link is work safe.

Rent My Chest

More indecent and more immoral are camgirl sites that beg for presents with Amazon wish lists. If you're thinking about becoming a cam girl but aren't sure how to start, be sure to read How to become an obnoxious internet cam whore in five easy steps. The pictures are work safe, even if the level of sarcasm isn't.

If you're square like me, you'll build useful web sites that attract lots of visitors, as Philip Greenspun describes in How to be a Web Whore Just Like Me. It's no joke a very good guide to web publishing. Just be aware that Phil is a very persuasive writer, and understand that he will try to convince you that he single-handedly solved every problem on the web back in 1998.

Which Les Jones are you?

I'm the good-looking one.

In the early days of the web around 1994 someone did a WebCrawler search for "les or leslie or lesley or lester jones" and made a mailing list. There were hundreds of us.

I graduated Maryville (TN) High School and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (with a degree in biology). I worked for U.S. Internet until about a year after the IPO, and now work as an e-commerce manager in Knoxville. I was the author and owner of the award-winning 56K.COM from 1997 to 2003.
