Against the Grain...of Curry!

Seeing as a colleague of mine has titled his blog with 'curry', I send this titular retort. Of course, it's only a retort in title, but it's something. So there! Take that, Sean L.!

Anyhow, finished tons of content for a few clients. I'll post the links on tomorrow's addition to this blog, but for now...

I say adieu, so long and thanks for all the fish.

Commendations to those who get that line. Really. Literacy is often such a lost art...

Under Pressure

Last week, I could barely do 20KW worth of work per day just from starting a no-red-meat diet.

Today, I was able to finish 50KW worth while my stomach felt like it wanted to explode.

How does this happen?

Weird...

Well, in any case, that's one file down. On to the next project.

Tomorrow, of course...

First, home and Pepto. Cursed pasta...

WOO!!!

OMG!!!

I actually finished that one MLM site! A 75KW rework monster that ended at exactly 11,000 words total.

Wow...I wonder if I could pull that one off again. That was pretty amazing! LOL

Now, onward to a 50KW Saskatchewan farm realtor's site. This should be interesting.

But first...a weekend. Much fun and chaos. Or, at least fun. Perhaps chaos will follow. I'm not quite sure yet...

Definitely Working

Yep...that was exactly the problem I had.

I noticed that, while working on the trike site from yesterday and another site today, I was much more alert. The supplements are definitely offsetting my lack of iron from cutting out red meat for a bit. And I think cutting out heavy high-fructose corn syrup drinks are also having an effect on my crashing.

It was a shock for the first few days, but I'm readjusting quite well now.

Thank goodness, too. This site's a 75KW killer I've been tweaking on-and-off for a bit now...

Tips and Trikes

I really have to remember to not leave the house without popping an iron supplement into my system. That way, I don't bottom out as quickly as I have the last couple of days.

So, today, I was working on a site for custom trikes. I didn't bottom out nearly as bad as I had the last couple of days. Except, of course, when the heat was unbearable. Otherwise, I was pretty alive. :)

Anyhow, that just means I have to stay on iron supplements for a while.

SEO on a Diet

While working on a site for an appraisal company, I felt myself mentally crash. Not just dazed, mind you. I mean completely losing seconds of time. I had to think about why this was. I had a full night worth of sleep, and I'm eating healthier. What gives?

It dawned on me: I did start my red meat diet yesterday. The drastic change in my eating habits is probably what's getting me. My body is still readjusting, and my brain's suffering for it.

I might have to bring tons of snacks to compensate. Oy vey...

Deja-Vu

In the "hey, that looks familiar" department...

One of the sites I worked on came back for a rework, and guess who inherited it in a pile of reworks? Yep, you guessed it. Apparently, there were a lot of keyword changes (namely, localizations) and the content was too keyword-heavy in the first place. So, after working on it for a full day, I got it optimized perfectly, I believe.

Let's hope it doesn't come back again. This one was killer. I had to revamp practically every existing paragraph for the new localizations and add about 2,000 more words to it.

Whew...
