adsense.module with Revenue Sharing for Drupal 4.7.x

 is a way for earning money from your website. However, it would be a problem if your website has more than one person for generating content. This is a kind of a conflict of intrest problem. A workaround is to use channel ID to distinguish contents into groups for each person.

Fortunately, for Drupal 4.6.x, there is adsense.module which supports Revenue Sharing. I then managed to port this feature to CVS so I can use it at howforge.com. You can see the pending issue with my patch at drupal.org or directly download the patch.

nodewords.module for Drupal 4.7.x

If you have to manage your own website, Drupal is the best cadidate  that maximizes its rank on search engines. However, it would be better if you could specify description and keywords meta tags of each page freely.

nodewords.module is the module you want for this case. However, it seems original author of this module don’t have time to actively response to feature requests. My request is to support new forms API of Drupal 4.7.x since I used Drupal 4.7.x right now.

Brad Zink writes "According to Robert X. Cringely, Google is poised to enter into the world of television advertising. This would usher in a new era for the venerable medium, creating a tidal wave of revenue for the networks, while solidifying Google's position in the advertising industry. Cringely develops this prediction based on his belief that Google is developing a network of data centers to be placed around the globe, which would be used to serve television commercials in addition to its current online content."

A grid is a group of computers, servers and storage, which is virtualised as one large computing system across an enterprise. Grids unleash latent power that is not being used at any point in time. They can radically accelerate compute-intensive processes. Grid computing involves applying the resources of many computers in a network to a single problem at the same time—usually a scientific or technical problem that requires a large number of computer-processing cycles or access to huge amounts of data. Grid computing uses software to divide and farm out pieces of a program to as many as several thousand computers. A number of corporations, professional groups and university consortia have developed frameworks and software for managing grid computing projects.

NSF grant to fund project on behavioral psychology

Central to the Chicago group’s effort will be the creation of a distributed data warehouse known as the SID Grid (Social Informatics Data Grid), which will encourage data sharing and accelerate the development of standards for collecting and coding physiological and behavioral data. The SID Grid will be deployed as part of the larger TeraGrid, a suite of grid- computing resources available to the scientific community at large. The Chicago group will develop, test, and refine their data collection and analysis tools through research in three areas of inquiry: multimodal communication, neurobiology of social behavior, and cognitive and social neuroscienceNSF grant to fund project on behavioral psychology
