Well this can't be good.

Wasn't expecting to start the day investigating this!

No wonder my computer has been acting weird, running version 666 of anything is not recommended.

Running version 666 of Zoom 🤯

With the form Liverpool are in, not sure how I feel about the game score being shown all the time in the notch 😬

A first for me, but a website I'm building (pre-launch) is getting traffic from Google before it's pages have been indexed?!? 🤯

But how?

Played a little League of Legends today.

First time I've been in a game where everyone on the team got an S or S+ rating 🤯

🤯 Liverpool spending over £100M for a player!

Which ever version of the multiverse I've moved too, I like it.

Made it to the beach.

Day started cloudy, but turning out to be a very nice day!

In-fact I've actually got the old and new servers running side-by-side in case there are any issues and I need to rollback.

Still a relatively simple setup, but well positioned for scale, as resource needs continue to grow.

About to watch Clue at Proctor’s theatre in Schenectady NY.

Didn’t think we’d be champions the year after Klopp leaving, makes it so much sweeter!

Congrats to everyone at the club for a fantastic season.

Will be working hard to keep sending the @blueskydirectory.com newsletter on a regular schedule.

Open rate from this weekends edition was pretty similar to the others, but the click rate is nearly half. 🤯

I know it was a holiday weekend, but that's a pretty massive drop off.

Finished adding verification badges to @blueskydirectory.com

Will be interesting to see how this evolves, do love that it's not just Bluesky doing the verifying. Already feels better than what we had on the other site.

Excited to continue to use my domain as verification 😉

The Feb update seems to have been lost in my ether somewhere, so here is the March #SEO update for @blueskydirectory.com from Google.

Have been expecting to traffic to drop as growth has slowed, but things appear to be holding steady, which is a great sign that Bluesky has traction.

Finally can say that @blueskydirectory.com has made it!

The drug spammers have arrived 😂

Requires a Bluesky account to submit, so took some effort on their part to submit.
