Google is your God

2, Nov 2011

Aaron from SEO Book has been talking about this for a long time – Google has been slowly but methodically using its monopoly to destroy entire internet niches. I noticed the other day while searching for ‘what is my ip’ that Google now directly responds to the IP. Check out whatismyip.com’s traffic: For the past [...]

Loyalty

15, Mar 2011

Yesterday I was flying back to Toronto from Panama, and had to go through Miami. Due to my fantastic luck, I keep getting chosen at ‘random’ for extra security. This time they went all out, detaining me for almost 4 hours, which led to a lost flight, which led to me having to get to [...]

I’m not even talking about posting here – I’m talking about since I got real work done. I mentioned this when 2010 rolled by, but for roughly the past 12 months I have been pretty unproductive. I’ve done some random consulting here and there, but nothing to call mine own. So this week finally marks [...]

I used to be really good at soccer. I wasn’t tall – but I was pretty wide, which made me a solid right fullback. I was a no nonsense player – no flash, no glitter – I got rid of the ball as soon as I could. Then ten years ago I partially tore my [...]

So Google now lets you control the max crawl rate through a nifty slider. While most sites start at a max-allowed rate of 0.5 pages/sec, I’ve been able to get a few sites to 10 pages/sec. I had some large sites that had pretty low max rates (eg 1 page/sec), and it took me some [...]

I’ll be in Toronto for the full week of Jan 25 to Jan 30 – if you want to meet up, be sure to contact me. download movie the ring two hq

We were testing it – and now it is out on iBegin. Our own estimates are roughly 5000+ sites are using this plugin already. I expect it to go up a lot as we refine it and make it simpler to install. download legal divx police academy 3: back in training movie

Who am I?

15, Dec 2008

The post title references a classic Jackie Chan movie, replete with awful (and hilarious) dialog combined with bizarre fight sequences involving props galore. While most of what I talk about here (and really think about daily) revolves around the local space, I do a lot more than that. I’ve been building (proper) websites since roughly [...]
