Good... is that squidoo appear to have sorted their reporting out. I noticed yesterday that the figures were now correct for those lenses (and even a few others - like the one that was showing royalties I earned in a month that hasn't happened yet).
Better... is that I gave my manuscript to an editor yesterday. When I wandered back to the resturant three hours later he was still there reading it and I got a very good review.
Best... would probably be the two cats hiding under my spare bed right now. After a successful introduction at the adoption centre, we have two rescued kitties moving in with us. One of them is sweet shy and intelligent, and the other, well the other could give Snooch from Two Lumps a run for his money.

Somethings a bit screwed up
I heard from Squidoo.
According to them my two top charity performers got $14's each.
According to my royalties page, they got rather less (in one case $0.08 cents).
Unsurprisingly, I've queried this. As the by-month payment data only goes up to July, it looks like I may be sitting down and doing a spreadsheet of all the data from Royalties pages to check what the payment was and what it should be. However it looks like either there's a problem with the payouts or the reporting.
Off goes the bug report.
On other topics, novel number three is getting a quick edit for accuracy and then will be hopefully ready to go out. Despite having been in the cockpit I forgot one vital characteristic of the aircraft, so since anyone reading it who knows the plane will spot the error in two seconds I'm making a few corrections.
And fingers crossed for Sunday, that everything works out. I actually found something more important than visiting an aircraft open day, which for me is pretty unusual.
And finally for anyone not doing anything at the weekend, here's a quick plug. Gatwick Aviation Museum's open day is 11th October 2009. If you have any spare time I'd really suggest you stop by.

Squidoo, Infolinks payments and annoyance
Well, they have paid. Unfortunately the infolinks are turned on on my hatching lenses (they were never turned off), and none of them received an infolinks payment. Similarly the money missing from last month's update did not arrive.
Given that my Googlesite just outperformed (in the last seven days), any single one of my lenses over the last two months, I am beginning to wonder if I should continue with Squidoo. Anyway, there's a bug report filed. Any response from them will be interesting since I estimate I'm out by $20-40.
e.g. http://www.squidoo.com/DragonHatchery
A Tier One lens which has never had infolinks removed. It has also never received an infolinks payment.
On the other hand, news elsewhere in life should hopefully make up for it. I'll blog more, hopefully with good news and photos, when I know more.

NaNoWriMo?
Anyone going to be doing NaNoWriMo?
I might not this year - three novels so far in 2009, lots of lenses and articles, reviews and more have left me with aching fingers, so I might actually take November off.

Photo as Featured content on redgage
One of my Biggin Hill photos of the Red Arrows just got featured on Redgage. As I'd been away from my computer for a while I did wonder where all the comments were coming from.
To answer one question, the colours and smoke are made by chemicals injected into the aircraft's exhaust. Apparently these are now designed to be environmentally friendly but if the wind is in the wrong direction, after a few passes they do build up, and can smell really bad for the spectators.
