GolfSigma: What we have been up to

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

What we have been up to....

What’s new is very simple stated, stability.  Our new platform has provided us with the means to grow our tee time inventory, (currently around 5 million tee times) and increase our courses count, while maintaining the delivery of super fast search results.  Now we will continue on our quest to try and search ever and any course that has an online presence.

  We have added a quick link directory to show you some of the more popular golfing destinations.  You can access that from the home page or just click here to take a look.  Remember that these are just a few of the popular cities; you should be able to find any US city that has a golf course within a 50 mile radius.

We have also added a Forum that talks about everything golf.  Have a swing tip, a golf joke (keep it clean), a predicted winner at the next PGA tour event (Tiger), head on over to the new Forum.  We welcome your participation and look forward to meeting you in the Forum.

Hard to believe, but 25,000 Tweeps have decided to follow us on Twitter.  If you are into Twitter and Facebook keep up to date with the latest.  One thing I can guarantee is you will not see any posting about my golf game.  (I do not want to be responsible for anybody injuring themselves by laughing to hard).  Umm with all the Swing Instructions that are advertised on Twitter I wonder if any of them work?

We have also added a FAQ section which currently has very few questions,  which is what we fully expect due to the ease of use of GolfSigma.

Ah one last item to mention, Sigma Ads.  We have installed our own ad server in an attempt to accomplish two goals; deliver pertinent golf ads to your specific area, and hopes to help fund our endeavor.  For our viewers we expect that they will see very exciting golf promotions from courses and other advertisers.  Why will the advertisers be interested, because GolfSigma is one of the best sites to reach golfers, who else is on the site?  Win, Win, Win……

  As always, more to come…….

Men At Work - Down Under.

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Im going to plunder now. See you in a week!

Google Chrome Fun.

It is truly amazing what you can do with a little (not really) Java script and chrome. Ball Pool is a great example of what Java is capable of doing with the right browser.

Download Google Chrome here. (if you do not have chrome, Ball Pool will run slow)

More great Java experiments can be found here.

Scary Rocking Horse

 

It looks harmless enough. To the uninitiated, it’s nothing more sinister than a big cuddly toy on rockers. It’s not cute though and that maniacal grin should have been a clue.

The rocking horse was acquired from a friend whose child has grown too big for it. SP snuck it home and left it in the lounge as a surprise. None of us could have predicted just how much of a surprise…

FP and I found it, sitting innocently in front of the fire, looking like, well, a miniature rocking horse that would be just the right size for FP.

“Mummy lift you on,” instructed FP. I plonked her into the saddle and FP nearly jumped straight off again.

The horse spoke.

It said, in loud, electronic tones, “NEIGH!” and proceeded to make sounds of galloping hooves.

FP was horrified. She pulled her arms protectively up to her body and sat rigid with fright.

I, recovering from my own fright, attempted to pacify FP, laughing it off and encouraging FP to rock. She rocked, reluctantly, but only if mummy held the handlebars.

All was quiet. It began to be fun. FP relaxed and started to enjoy rocking. Mummy let go of the handlebars.

“NEIGH!” said the horse unexpectedly again.

This time, FP actually did jump right off the horse and clung to me, shaking and crying.

“It’s a scary ‘orse,” she sobbed. “You’re frightened. You’re cried.”

SP took the batteries out but we still haven’t been able to persuade FP to go anywhere near the thing again. Even walking into the same room is a challenge.

“You’ll have to walk past the scary ‘orse,” she says, holding onto my leg.

“It is a scary horse,” I agreed. I should have been able to predict that from the demonic grin. What’s that about looking a gift horse in the mouth?
