I was doing a reorganisation of RealState’s Ontario category and wanted to manually check one of the sites and found I was “forbidden”
Forbidden

While the rest of us are using Akismet, content filters and the like this site’s webmaster had taken a bolder approach to knocking dead the spammers…
A while back I mentioned how a short lived forum demo lasted months in the SERPs. Another effect I’ve found with new sites is that the sites you use for dropping links will kick butt in the SERPs for a couple of weeks until the search engines fully index and propogate the results around the data centers.
A couple of weeks is no biggie and eventually you’ll pop out on top. The thing is, you drop the links from sites you know are indexed well because they’re going to help you and quickly.
So, I was amused to see, on a forum I frequent, that one site owner was requesting link exchanges and a site review for his Nintendo Wii site.
We had the music channel on this evening and MC Lars was on with “Download this Song” which I thought was a pretty good blast at the record industry.
I was particularly amused by these lines
Back in the beginning of my web life, before OO and web frameworks and CMS systems and even blogs there were banner exchange programs. Being an honest kind of girl I never cheated the system but those who did used auto surfing programs to boost their hit counts.
The owners caught on and started tracking IP addresses and looking for trends so that they would weed out the cheats and reward the honest webmasters.
Then came paid online advertising,
The Greens in New Zealand must be the most contrary political party of them all.
2 Elections ago they won huge support for their stand against Genetic Engineering and they painted a plausible picture of NZ as the clean food supply for the wealthy (and hopefully us, too).
After the election they were overruled by their coalition partner, Labour, and GE became legal. The practice doesn’t seem to have taken off but the door has swung open.
Since then the Greens, through long time activist Sue Bradford, has campaigned to see prostitution legalised and has a bill before parliament to outlaw smacking.
Now, by opposing these law changes I’m painted as monster who says that whores have no rights and beating children is ok.
And to add to my crimes against humanity I’m now going to drag babies from their convict mothers at the tender age of 6 months.
Well that’s the status quo, but Sue thinks that small children belong in prisons
I wanted to present a range of choices in a nicely formatted table and couldn’t see helper to do the job – so this is my first snippet for Cake PHP. I doubt it’s perfectly cake (for instance I do the header row myself rather than using the html helper, and I concatenate a string rather than building an array)
In this instance I added the function radioTable to a helper called “fed” and gave it the standard model and field variables.
Sunsilk have harnessed the power of the chat bot with a range of Wingmen. All very Top Gun, I reckon.
According to their pop-quiz my perfect man is David Hassle [chat with MY wingman]. In theory, perhaps, after all I grew up on Kit and Knight Rider… According to a MySpace page they’ve set up he’s only 18. Now we’re talking!
I don’t know if it will catch on with my age group but the kids who love tamagotchis will probably love this.
