Deja Vu Again!

As I signed off yesterday's post I had an uneasy feeling,and I was right, we posted that article a few weeks ago - if it confused our regular readers I'm sorry about that. We now move articles into the used folder but I had overlooked that one.

I have just finished reading an excellent book called The Wayward Mind: An Intimate History of the Unconscious by Guy Claxton and I agree with most of the comments in the two reviews on Amazon
except that I enjoyed the history. It provides a frame work to help understand experiences like deja vu and stupid mistakes like repeating an article post after a few weeks.

Have a great weekend.

Adding to the collection or ...

There are more opportunities to add to this collection but we think that it is now time to make some additional payment options available. For low cost items, credit card transactions are rather expensive so we will need to trade the benefits to us of larger orders against a premium for individual track purchases. This means adding shopping cart facilities along side the simple BitPass functionality and is going to be a bit of a programming challenge. More of this anon - in the mean time here is another Brandenburg Concerto LoFi streaming sample - first movement of No3 from Johann Sebastian Bach himself and our arrangement on steel drums and marimba - full HiFi track only 0.99$(US).

The bulk come through organic Google searches with the next largest share coming from our daily tweets.

Shop Re-opens

The PHP upgrade on my server precipitated closure of the shop for a couple of weeks but I finally found the time to work through the backlog of OS Commerce upgrades that I had been putting off and Lo and Behold the shop is working again. I still need to do a bit of testing on the shopping cart arithmetic and make sure that the downloading is still working properly after the changes I have made. I'll also have a look at the recent contributions to see if there are any other improvements I should be making. In the mean time there has been another surge of Ranking changes on Google as reported on Rankpulse and it is evident that our rankings continue to swing around on a daily basis but our overall position and visitor numbers seem pretty stable - even the shop closure didn't seem to have much of an impact.
