The Arrival and the Reunion
Sorry about the low profile. As you may have seen from my last post, I had quite a lot of things I wanted to get done over the weekend and the four-and-a-half-day break from work.

I have made considerable progress.

I am about to post the three posts I wrote over the weekend but didn’t post at the time. There is another to come, perhaps later tonight.

Oh, and for anyone who uses the search engine or has contemplated doing so, I found out that Livejournal has apparently put a temporary ban on Google from indexing any of its pages, and that this ban is almost certainly affecting other indexers. I found out about this not with enough advance notice to allow me to pop ‘round to the FreeFind site and have the spider hold off on indexing until this shady ban is lifted (if that ever is to happen) – which would have at least have allowed the search engine to maintain a cache of pages indexed up to that point (ie. nearly all the pages of this journal) – but when the spider tried to index the journal and was told to go away, which effectively means that it completed an index of no pages at all. It still works, I believe, but it may not be quite as up-to-date or altogether on the ball. Be patient with it. Be patient with Livejournal.

And here’s a good link from a good source about a good song: #11 on the list.

Google ban?

Where'd you hear about this? Is it because of the traffic, or because of the recent press about Google turning up cc #s and so on? (Probably the former.)

I hear that the knitters have much to contemplate...

I heard about the rumoured Google ban from another user; she responded to a support request which I filed and which you can peruse here - and actually, I'm glad to have just checked that, because they've apparently closed my request even though it was in no way resolved. The answers I got were well-meant, I'm sure, but obvious and not particularly helpful.
But she mentioned the Google ban, which she theorised might be blocking other indexers as well. I don't know; but I'm going to go and try to re-open that support request, or file it a second time.
