User Generated Google

Today on google I noticed that they’ve introduced user generated ranking (like digg or YouTube) and commenting on websites.

Google is really now 2.0, however cliché that may sound.

Furthermore, I’m about to be drowned out by this Football player “Luke Freeman” unless I get some google lovin’ - so sign in to your google account, search for Luke Freeman and let’s see if we can get me back to the top!

Peace out.

P.S. I finally heard back from the guy who owns lukefreeman.com and he bought it in 2002 for his new born son, smart move, but it means I’m never going to get it ;(

My Favourite Statement

And my favourite statement for 2008 is (yet again):

“Thank you”

That’s 7 years in a row now, going strong!

Because people need their fix.

Its a pity really, because so many people suffer under this regime of drama addicts.

Why now smartyhost!?

Well, some of you may not have been able to access my site due to a security error with my server (smartyhost.com.au).

On top of that, because of poor registration system for reselling I had a fraud registration that completely defaced someone. It actually turned out alright because I could intervene before it caught on, but there needs to be more safety checks on their server.

If I decide to do more web design after graduating, I’m certainly switching to a new server.

Yesterday marked one year that Joni and I have been together for. Well, that is one year since our first kiss to be exact, we weren’t sure when casually seeing each other as friends actually became dating so we decided to mark it at our first kiss :)

As can be expected, half of me can’t believe its already a year and the other half can’t believe its only a year!

So, it’s one year down the track and what can be said? We love each other. We’re still going strong. We still are infatuated with each other. She’s as gorgeous as …
