Links and other web-waffling
I've gotten past brad's lameness filter! And this was only my second attempt!
Alexa says my website is one of the top 33 destinations on Furtopia! And loganberrybunny is only three times as popular as I am. But Technorati claims that nobody who matters ever links to my journal- so why do they even mention me?
I've been working on taxes this week and haven't been doing daily upkeep on my logfile. Ugh! Now I have 275 new visitor-IP's to catalogue. There are actually some interesting hits besides the usual pedo-search trash. CYD is talking about me again. Looks like they're happy with the comments my friends made about them in this post. Hey, Donotsue, here's another mention of your name for the next time you go ego-surfing!
My monograph on search-engine users seems to be having quite an effect. First off, it's a link-fest. When people search for "pedophilia" they now tend to land on the "search-engine users" page instead of the more specific page for their search-and often as not they end up clicking on something off-topic like Who needs backups?. But (perhaps coincidentally) Google seems to be ranking all of my pages higher now. I'm getting quite a few hits from people searching for stuff like "ip city lookup free php code". I can't explain why there's a sudden burst of interest in that field, other than that there's always been interest but suddenly my page is on the first screenful of search-hits. My copy of John Downey's I18N_UnicodeString.php actually ranks only slightly lower (29 vs 24) than the author's official copy, for queries like "PHP Unicode storing". I don't know why people would skip past his to click on my copy of the same thing.
I am just starting to get the barest inkling of the mind-boggling scale of Internet usage, which reminds me of AT&T's "Spaceship Earth" ride at Disney. Hopefully I'll never get the kind of email that Wil Wheaton has to deal with.
This quiz says I act like I'm only 33 years old. Ah, would that I were so young again! And this quiz predicts that I will die at age 79. I doubt it-neither my father nor my grandfathers lived that long, although some great-grandfathers did.
You Are Creepy
Serial killers would run away from you in a flash.
How scary are you?
You are the stoner rock!
Which rock personality disorder (from the Zoloft commercial) should you have?
