Mylot payments- Heard it all before, ignore until you hear something official

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 12 Jul 09

Mylotters We've now been hearing for years about Mylot going down, going broke, etc. There seems to be an element which apparently has nothing better to do than try and undermine this site. Some facts: 1. If anything...

Writers- Have you tried writing on Elance?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 1 Sep 08

I started writing on Elance a few months ago, and I have been getting some contracts. The site's a bit daunting at first, you actually have to do a test to join. The last thing I wanted to do after a day's work was a test, but I...

Telecommuting: good idea, or what?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 22 Nov 07

I do quite a bit of telecommuting, and I work on sites all over the world these days, which is one reason I haven't been on myLot much lately. The money's OK, but there's a lot of jobs which aren't worth the amount of time. I was...

Digital Journal- Writers, a challenge for you.

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 5 Jun 07

I know a lot of the writers on myLot want to do some real work. This might be what you're looking for. Last week I started writing on Digital Journal, which is a site where you can post news articles and your own material about...

Further developments on Helium.com

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 27 May 07

I told the writers here I'd keep you people posted about the Helium saga. Good news. I got an article called "Backyard Geology the hard way" accepted for publication by one of Helium's partners in Helium Marketplace. That's a...

Anorexia- murder by any other name

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 10 May 07

I just recently wrote a piece for Helium, "Trillion dollar coma- Fashion and the girls from Auschwitz": http://www.helium.com/tm/320792 Self explanatory, but I'd be interested to hear of anyone's experiences and opinions...

Eeeeek!! Mysterious reading habits

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 5 May 07

As a writer on Helium, I've been having a great time, writing away furiously. Just recently, one of my articles, for some reason, has been getting lots of readers, all at once. It's a gardening article, "Best plants for wet...

myLot Avatars- the coral reef of the minds.

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 1 May 07

I think avatars are a kind of social ecology, in subliminal form. People fill their environmental niches with their images: 1. The Cats and Dogs. There are a lot of these, mainly spreading furry propaganda, and thus keeping up...

Has myLot changed since you started here?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 25 Apr 07

Don't know if it's just me, but as myLot grows, I've noticed that some of the regulars who used to dominate the discussion pages, have almost vanished, and a lot of others seem to have moved in, and the character of the site has...

To blog, or not to blog- that ought not to be a question.

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 14 Apr 07

I've just been wading through the various rituals involved in setting up a blog. The first efforts came up with arguably some of the lousiest layout I've ever seen on any document, huge gaps between paragraphs, and some really...

Any movie poster freaks around here?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 24 Mar 07

The sorry saga: Friend of mine has a heap of original movie posters, promo stuff he picked up as a movie distributor and a collector for the last 40 years or so. There are thousands of these things, including an original "From...

Second Life- What do you think?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 19 Mar 07

Just had a brief (very) wander around Second Life, at the tutorial stage. First thing that happened was this redhead wearing lingerie, which was a little embarrassing as I didn't know how to communicate, then some lady with a...

Payments- my fault, not myLot's

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 15 Mar 07

After some thought, I've decided to admit that I managed to louse up my own payment details. I'm probably not the only one who's done this, so think about it, if you're wondering if your payment is late, or whatever. It'll make...

Inexplicable or Paranormal events- What have you experienced, or read?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 9 Mar 07

Being "blessed" with a global culture which refuses to acknowledge human abilities or perceptions, many things are considered to be myths, impossibilities, or just illusions. Someone, unlelected, has apparently decided that...

Security issues- Personal information in discussions

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 4 Mar 07

Maybe it's just me, but I see a lot of questions which relate to things that might be used to access personal information. Let me first say that a lot of these discussions would be quite harmless, with no intention whatsoever...

The spiritual side of painting.

Have a look at this picture. I was experimenting with various yellows, and this thing effectively produced itself. All I did was emphasize it a bit. What do you see?

Friend requests, continuing saga

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 26 Feb 07

Would you agree to a friend request from someone who's been abusive? I won't say who this was, that would be quite unfair, but I just got one, and knocked it back. I contradicted this person, and got a spray in response....

Creative people- What information do you need?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 24 Feb 07

I'm in the process of putting together a page on my web site for creative people. The idea is to provide a series of articles and links. So far I've got links to Free Expression, as site dealing with creative rights to self...
