Blogger A Pain In The Google

As far as I'm concerned Google is a Pain In The Ass.

Dropped from their ratings in November I have now got my October 2004 posts reinstated, minus text, and you have to delve deep into the Google cached pages to find them.

I've posted daily since October and been visited by the Bot once about a week ago. Personally I'm fed up moaning about it.

Luckily I've discovered that a search on Yahoo for "msra in Cardiff hospital" or "three wise men" finds Milt on the first page.

When I started messing about on the web back in the eighties, I used Yahoo almost exclusively. I think it was the default search tool with Internet Explorer. I discovered Google through a University website and adopted it because it came up with better academic and literary links than Yahoo. I assume that Milt's showing on Yahoo just proves that the page is of no academic or literary significance whatsoever.

Leave Bush On His Bike In Maryland

The White House has defended their decision to let George Bush continue an afternoon bike ride and not tell him that tens of thousands of people were being evacuated as a small plane flew into restricted airspace over Washington last Wednesday.

Mrs. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and others working in the Capitol and White House were moved out when the plane came within three miles. Bush was biking in Maryland with a friend from high school at the time. He wasn't told until he finished his ride, about 50 minutes after the evacuation.

It's a pity they didn't leave him and his bike in Maryland.
