Either google is going to do a update to how they do searches, or they got lost on my site, or the googlebot really loves my site. For fun I have been checking the cache of my site a google every day, and it seems to be updated once a day! I wonder if being put on Slashdot (and hence a lot of other sites that mirror Slashdot) had something to do with this. The question is how will this affect my page rank at google, as of now it is 3/10, hay not bad for a vanity site. But hay still #1 result for the search of my name “Michael P. O’Connor”.

I keep moving boxes out of my place, boxes full of stuff. I did not realize I had so much stuff. Looking at the apartment I still don’t know where I kept it all. I have found some off site storage till moving day. And I have almost filled up that place with boxes and all kind of stuff. And yet I will have trouble getting around my place since there is still too much stuff here. The new place I am moving to should be a lot better then this place since the main room is a lot larger then the whole of my current apartment, and the new place still has a separate bedroom!!! I should be good for a few years there.

A bit of moving the computers around

Today (tonight) I figured I needed to move some of my computers around. I put the windows box next to the Linux box. I did this because I use x2vnc to control the windows box mainly, but having them on 2 different desks meant that I had to turn around when I started to use the windows box. So I took the eMac off of the desk that has the Linux LCD, and put the windows LCD here along with a few other things, I then moved the eMac over to where the windows box use to reside. I just can not do x2vnc on the Mac box, vnc on the Mac is still not up to par in the speed area, the mouse would just jerk around the screen. Now I have the 1 keyboard and mouse for both the Linux box and the windows box. They are connected to the Linux box and then jump to the windows box over the network when I need to control the windows box.

There’s a teacher in a small Massachusetts town. She asks her class how
many
of them are John Kerry fans. Not really knowing what a Kerry fan is, but
wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands
except
one boy, Johnny. The teacher asks Johnny why he has decided to be
different.
Johnny says, “I’m not a John Kerry fan.” The teacher says, “Why aren’t
you
a
John Kerry fan?” Johnny says, “I’m a George Bush fan.” The teacher asks
why
he’s a George Bush fan. The boy says, “Well, my mom’s a George Bush fan,
and
my Dad’s a George Bush fan, so I’m a George Bush fan!” The teacher is
angry,
so she says, “What if your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot?
What would that make you?” Johnny says, “That would make me a John Kerry
fan…..”

Right now some one decided that they did not want to talk on their cell phone in the office, so now they are in the hall, and talking very loudly, I don’t care about the car trouble that the person that they are talking to is having. I will people would have more courtesy when they talk on their cell phones, or that she only has $100 for the rest of the month. and she seams to just be getting louder and louder, why does she not just shut up. The stupid of people on cell phones have gotten out of hand, I have now seen in stores signs asking people to please not talk on the phone when they are being waited on.

I am not against cell phones, I just wish people would use their head when they are on them.

I think I am becoming a talk show junkie. There are 2 talk shows I just hate missing. And I enjoy listening to talk shows in general, it is the only radio I can stand now. If I want music I will listen to my music collection, I will never don’t listen to music on the radio. The 2 talk shows I like are Issue Etc. on KFUO out of St. Louis, at 4:05pm EST available over the Internet and my second favorite is Rush Limbaugh

Google and blogs

In the age of blogging, their searches have returned some interesting stuff. Just today I was looking at a list of were people come from when they come to my web site. And one was from a search on google for banning Russian IP address. For some reason I was the 8th hit. It saw the entry on Banned IP address because of spammers, and it also saw on the side of the page a link to my friends blog “John in Russia”. I see some day google will move known blogs out of their main index and maybe setup a new index just for blogs. Also I would guess that maybe they will make it possible to search and remove blogs out of the results. I have had problems with my own blog showing up in searches I do, but it make sense I am searching for things I am interested in and my blog about them too. So it only make sense that I should find my own site on google when I search for stuff.

Today as I was giving my pastors a lift to the airport, and on the drive out I saw the following 2 bumper stickers on the same car. The first was “Hate is not a family value” the second was a kerry sticker. The funny part is that the majority of the kerry base is built on hate, Hatred for Bush. So to see those 2 stickers next each other was a funny juxtaposion.

The traffic has died down a bit, but I still see that the traffic is higher then usual. I wonder how many are just stragglers, how many are return visits because they like it, and how many are returning trolls. Over the last few days I been getting trolls in the responses, which I have deleted. Well if there are some true new readers that like the site welcome, enjoy your stay and thanks for comming.

I have put the video back up on line, I hope that the traffic from slashdot has died down some. I am not going to put a link right to the file here, just to keep things light. But it should still be on the front page, if not go to the Technology section to find it, it is under that entry labeled “CMU’s Robotics Institute” Sorry I had to take it down, it was burning allot of bandwidth, and I figured I would let a few days pass before I put it back up.

This election year 1) scares me and 2) saddens me. Why? You may ask. Simple this, the next for years may (if Peroutka or [to a lesser extent] Bush get elected) could help save many many lives of the unborn if a judge needs to be appointed. But if the pro-murder kerry gets in, we could see the crime of murdering the Innocent unborn continue. I live in a swing state, so I just can not go vote for Peroutka, I really want to. But can I in fully good conscience vote for Bush after the answer he gave about roe vs wae. So I really have to site down and think about it, Bush could win PA, but if I don’t vote for him (and others like me, and vote for Peroutka, who probably will not win PA) kerry is bound to win. Right now I have a spreed sheet I am working on. But then the question is, is this the right way to go about it. Right now in my spreed sheet it is still a close race between Peroutka and Bush. What ever happened to the time of White and Black, Republican and Democrat? now all I see are shades of gray and 3rd parties.

Finally the first partion of the hard drive on the gateway finished the bad block scan. It is now on the second of the 3. But they are much smaller when compared to the other one. Right now on the second partion it is on block 194038/262144 if it goes for another 11 days I will be able to claim that it took a full month to scan the hard drive for bad blocks.

Ok here is the final total, I have moved the video file for now but here is the total before the move of the file: 51839.16 Megabytes (Yes that is about 50Gb, I bet my hosting company loves me now) So for the next 2 days I will not have that video up to save bandwidth, that is untill the slashdot affect is over.
