And the hits keep on rolling. Minor maintenance
to the site. If you are interested in buying a GREAT car, Mr. G is now selling
the best available. See The Payoff page for details. Have fun! don(e) |

Over 6000 hits served in the first two years of
public operation. Many more visitors. All that popularity has taken a toll on
the system and the user database got too big for it's britches and got
corrupted. All prior user information is lost. (The real story
might be that 'da feds' where trying to extract some damning information and we
somehow lost... any incriminating information) You be the judge... don(e) |

Over 1000 hits served in the first 30 days of
public operation. Many more visitors. Thanks to all that have taken the time
to visit our service. In adding a translation feature, we broke the site for
a couple of days. That fixed, we now provide a link to AltaVista Translator on
the finished hit so that you may view the news in different languages. don(e) |

In a little less than a month we have designed and put
all the pieces in place to make the Hit site functional, and maybe even fun!
Thanks to all the testers! We are now public. Links have been placed and mailings
sent to select groups announcing the site. We continue development and are still
finding spelling errors here and there. Let us know if you see any! Statistics on
both how the talent is being used, and how our clients are using us, are in place and
many are displayed to the public. A book store was added. Oh sure we get a cut, but
we only ask that you buy a book if you want it! It's not part of 'the payoff'. A "Link
to US" page has also been added. If you have a web site and want to point to us.. just
go to the page and cut and paste the code, for the ad you like. We'll serve up the
graphic so you don't have to. don(e) |

Databases, error checking, and file routines in place
and seem to be operational. When you push a button you should get some sort of result
no matter which one you push. Repeat customer added to allow us to track those of you
that are using our services and give you statistics. If you don't login, you won't get
credit for multiple hits. If you do login, you can change your information on the fly
but if your using the same information about you... it is pre-filled for you. User
statistics and hit tracking 'User' Menu item added. Lynnette (is she cute or what!:-)
has already done some testing for us and it seems to work. Let me know 'Kid'!
Squished a bunch of bugs. Added lots of send buttons (once the contract is filled
without errors.) Added 'opt in' option to send yourself a copy of the hit (I was forcing
a copy down your throat. It's running far as I can tell.. Try it out!! don(e) |

Overall interface design completed
and open to view for beta level spell checking.. useability.. browser compatibility
and form, fit, (but not yet function) Idea for Mr.G to give away a 'T'-Shirt every
month added without asking Mr.G so that feature may very well go away!:-) It STILL
doesn't "DO" anything except provide a shell of what the functioning model will
look like. Beta testers are encouraged to let us know what doesn't look right to
you. Be warned though that you are looking at a live moving target and corrections
and interface changes are being made as you click! (If a button doesn't work for
you more than likely there simply isn't any function behind it yet!:-) Have fun..
Let us know. Mr.G (mrg@gambino.com) Don (don@ahandyman.com) Sign up for the newsletter
and we will keep you posted on progress.. don(e) |

Mr.G walks out of the house to see what Handyman is doing
shoveling the snow off of his driveway. Handyman is just showing his respect to the
Godfather of the neighborhood of course... Anyway, they get to talking and Mr.G mentions
that one of his associates thought it might be a fun thing to do to a web 'hit' site using
some of the family friends that have been traveling around the world from the postcard
site. Mr.G knows that it's like double dog daring Handyman to suggest such a thing... and
the idea of 'The Gambino Family Talent' is planted... don(e) |
