Hello everybody. Well, I just managed to publish my first book called
“Fractal Life 247 Coloring Book”. A coloring book of all things!

It used to be you could go through smile-dot at amazon and
then a portion of the proceeds of what would have been the
affiliate or what was called then the associates would get
their commissions for bringing traffic to the market, when
once upon a time, you could make your own web-pages with
links to things and via an associates account, which is
not called that anymore because all the warehouse bees now
are called associates, anyways the affiliate platform is
part of what's called traffic platform, where, 100% of all
traffic to that web-site goes through what's called traffic
platform.

So anyways, at some point it was all sort of tagged over
to, "free search", because what had been reasonable sorts
of commissions like 3 or 6 percent, now have all gone bye-bye.

Anyways that all was written in C/C++ on the backend,

then that it very largely went to Java at some point,

or the various. I wouldn't know, not having been around
for a long time.

Traffic platform then was like, "100% of traffic goes

category expansion is stores and international expansion

You know how it is, when you're at a place
you want to know the source code, to
give an idea "where the food comes from",
knowing the food, inspecting the food,
for consuming and digesting the food.
It's like something like Windows, if you
leave out WMI and the Apps, and, leave
out the mess of device drivers, and just
read Windows 7, within a day or so, one
can plain at least present to the eyeballs
each of the lines of each of the files of
each of the projects of what in that case
was called a "razzle/dazzle C/C++/batch-build".
A synopsis, ....
Of course there's much to be said for "standards",
as with regards to "common dependencies",
of common facilities, in a world of DB FS MQ WS,
with regards to flat-files and the main-frame,
the naming,
vimming the dot-files in a usually available environment.
And running the shell.
Spinning the hamster-wheels, watt-for-watt.
