Jan 22, 2007 — As much as we’d like, we can’t get to every conference, training course and expo. This Winter & Spring, for instance, there are IR/Info2007, Thermal Solutions 2007, The Measurement Science Conference and ThermoSense XXIX; all of which I’d like to visit.

I had a presentation last week at the IR/Info meeting in Orlando, so I made that meeting and continued to learn new things about Infrared Thermography Apps. This week I am missing two of the four meetings, partly because they are being held simultaneously of opposite sides of the USA.

For my part, I am working on a review of IR/Info 2007 and planning some more, in-depth feature stories for our sites on things I learned there. Either of the other meetings would be overload for me right now, having six websites under close management, too.

As it was, I just reviewed my submissions to my January Sensors Industrial Automation Newsletter and am working to complete a book review for SPIE

We would certainly like some feedback on the two meetings this week.

Feel free to submit a review or even short comments on a particular part of a program.

Jan 4, 2007 — While working on posts of news stories from Business Wire, we were on the Website for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Showcase in Las Vegas, it starts over this coming weekend and runs through most of next week. Since we are technically ‘Members of The Press’, we registered to view the Exhibitors’ pre-show news release. There are tons, but only a few apply to our interest areas-but they are newsworthy stories, from our prespective.

Anyhow, long story short, we discovered the Virtal Press Office (VPO) website .

In addition to a treasure trunkfull of news stories, the best find, was the online calendar of meetings and links to them published by VPO. There’s a link already up on MeasurementMedia.com in the left colum block of our pages-it may stay a permanent feature there for the foreseeable future-we hope.

Neat Stuff!

Jan 1, 2007 — We’ve refreshed the look at MeasurementDevices.com for the New Year.

Hope you like it.

We did the same with Measurement Databases, but somehow they wound up looking nearly identical. We’ll work on that.

We also made a similar change on MeasurementMedia, but reverted to a reduced-width view of the original format after encountering some technical problems.

We appreciate your patience with these site changes and welcome feedback.

Dec 26, 2006 — Merry Christmas and all the best for your holiday season, whatever your affinity.

Our companion website has a link and notice about a site. www.flw.com that features a web greeting for all..in more than 350 different languages along with some seasonal music.

Enjoy!!

Nov 29, 2006 — When we began our new sites this September, we didn’t expect them to grow in popularity and traffic like they have.

Thanks to all those who visit and help us grow in traffic volume.
That means a lot; that we are filling a need. It means we are doing something right, too, to attract so many new visitors.

To our surprise, Measurementmedia.com has grown the most quickly. It is nearly at the traffic rating that it took TempSensor.net almost two years to reach. Measurement Databases (MeasurementDB.com) is growing at about half that rate, but still much faster than expected.

We are still working on programming to get MeasureNEWS.com up to snuff. That’s a little more time-consuming than we had figured and it is effectively non-functioning.

The consolation is that TempSensor.net is now one of the leading Web sources for Temperature Sensor News and is quoted regularly in Google Alerts for temperature sensors as well as making it to the first page of Google searches for “temperature sensors” and related search terms.

MeasurementDevices.com continues to grow rapidly and get referred to in various alerts, too. It looks like the removal of irksome ads have helped greatly.

Thanks again for visiting and your help.

Don’t be shy, submissions and comments are gratefully and thoughtfully accepted.
