This morning, I received an email from the folks at GoodGuide. Agreed to an interview next week [their suggestion]-- related to the current issues I am having. Hopefully I will be able to reinstall the interface in the near future.

The reason I have to go wide with information like this? I believe in the case of GoodGuide-- outside interference played a hand in my recent problems-- causing me to remove the interface from WiredPages.

Currently, I am busy with end of year updates. I am also looking at new interfaces for one or two areas on WiredPages.

I want to remind others. I have laid out site configurations and how programs and interfaces are accessed and hosted for a reason. Over the last 2 years, as I have added more interfaces to areas of WiredPages-- I have learned lessons about why things may change from the standpoint of the organization providing the API data.

In the past, while trying to make interfaces that worked- and then all of a sudden stopped, operable again-- I have spent a lot of time putting in work a-rounds. Mostly, moving the interface to the qisoftware.com server. I will not continue with this practice.

The qisoftware.com server- will probably not be as taxed as it once was. Q's Wire.. my retired personal blog, though still online is no longer being updated on a regular basis. Currently, Q's Wire is by far the most popular entity on qisoftware.com [the forums second] and my concern in the past, was overtaxing qisoftware.com servers. That said-- I will continue for the most part, to host my interfaces from the hosting-q.com servers.

Hosting-q.com servers are nowhere as fast as qisoftware.com's-- however they also do not host the NS&J forums nor the blogs I update on a more regular basis. Yes, I maintain three separate blogs on hosting-q.com-- and the hosting support forums-- however hosting-q's servers are not overtaxed.

I host my programs and interfaces on Hosting-q.com servers for a reason. If I developed and installed an interface for WiredPages, I can assure you I wanted it on my showcase site. I have passed on a lot of APIs-- insofar as integration on WiredPages. Make no mistake about it-- WiredPages is my favorite area of any of my sites- and I tweak, work it and worry about it more than anything else. To continue to test whether I will relax where I host the programs that power Wiredpages, is a waste of your time and mine.

Further there is no one else that makes these decisions other than me. To interfere with my communications or attempt to harass me into another plan of action-- is also a waste of time.

As related to interfaces that are "money plays"-- like Eventful? FBI needs to talk to me.. Interfaces I am currently installing are not "money plays" per se. I would like to think services like GoodGuide could add to its employment rolls, in that I think it is a useful service-- but, at this time-- I am not installing API data providers that charge on their end for usage.

If I go after a "money play" it will be through something like the Amazon Interface I recently developed and demonstrated. My hope-- to once again have the FBI look into the fraud issue. I hope they get in touch, before [Spring 2012] I go that route.
