Google has updated Pagerank

Well it seems Google just updated it’s pagerank database. And to my eternal joy I’ve gained accross the board. Every site/page is either higher than before or at least the same (in fact it’s only the few PR5 pages I have that haven’t gone up).

The most notable is Luliriisi’s (Julia’s site) increase from no PR to PR4. :)

Whether I’ll notice an increase in traffic is yet to be seen however. We can but hope :)

PR, Google, Pagerank, traffic

Anyone who bids that much on something without reading deserves everything they get…

Unfortunately I doubt eBay will force payment.

I guess every blog owner posts an entry like this sooner or later.

I just had my first serious bout of comment spam. About 50 or so pointless messages about mortgages and refinancing. But since the spammer used the same IP it was really easy to delete them all using Wordpress. Of course other blog software problably has the same features…

spam, comment spam, Wordpress

I picked up the “World Citizen” edition of Pimsleur’s Dutch. Two lessons in and I sound like I’m from bloody Liverpool. Quite how that happened I don’t know…

Pimsleur, Dutch
