Things have been busier than I expected the past week and a half. Arranging movers, buying basics for the new apartment, unpacking all took a while. I had to catch up on a book I agreed to edit, and on a week's e-mail I was getting behind on with only my laptop, which wasn't set up for all the accounts I need to check. Now I'm in the middle of the the first week back in classes, with the aggressive schedule I gave myself. My last class ran from 6-10PM. Tomorrow's packed, but I have no classes on Fridays. Unless something else comes up, I'll be syncing up my code repositories again (they weren't in a great state when I packed up the desktop two weeks ago and I didn't have time to fix 'em), and getting to work again.

I was recently asked by
InterviewsWith.com to be one of their first interviews. That interview is now online and can be viewed by subscribing. The site reminds me of Josh's
FiveQs.com except it's run by e-mail — a mail is sent out each time a new interview is available with a link to read it on a subscriber-only section of the website.
This coming Friday is my last day at my full time job. Sunday I'll be flying back to Philadelphia, moving in to a new apartment Monday, and starting fall term of my senior year at Drexel University a week later. Some time after I arrive, my computer and the rest of my belongings should arrive by UPS so I can get back to work.

Every few weeks one of my advertising customers asks if they can split the hits from their ad campaign among multiple URLs without buying multiple campaigns. I had the free time over the holiday yesterday, so I made that happen.
URLSplit does nothing more — you provide up to 7 URLs and get one like
this back, which evenly splits the hits among the URLs you entered. The member area provides basic stats for all links you've generated. Built quickly and easily with, once again,
Symfony.
W3Counter's Global Stats page is on the Digg.com home page for its 4th time in the past year. I wonder if it'll make it to the Diggnation podcast a second time? It's a shame I don't run CPM ads since every time this happens I end up with something like 200,000 extra page views over the course of a week.
30,000 so far today.
