I Now rank for my name

by admin on Apr.28, 2009, under Could do With Less of, Makes Me Happy, Uncategorized

The other day I read a blog post detailing that ego surfing is ever increasing and users are frequently disappointed with the search results and more commonly that they do not appear on the first page of google.

Google already knows that there is a large number of surfers searching for name specific queries. Google has now released a new feature enabling users to create their own google profile which will rank in the search results. Unfortunately profiles are only being pulled into the .com version of google, and you will also need to be signed into your google account before you will see profiles ranking.

Even though I have created my own profile to see this first hand I am not convinced that it is totally secure to have personal details being available via a google search. You can enter as much or as little as you wish, but I still think that all of this public information may lead to a few identity fraud cases.

This is definatelly a step closer towards the dark side for Google.

There is a wasp making a nest in my room

Wasp

Last Wednesday I woke up with a wasp in my bedroom, how did it get it without me knowing? I needed to get to work and let the wasp in my room.

The wasp was gone by the time I got back from work, but decides to visit me(piss me off)  each day.  On Saturday while on the hunt for the was again I tracked down the source of the buzzing I found a one bedroom nest in the corner of my room.

So far this week I have had to trap the wasp 3 times and each time it comes back, I’m assuming that is’s the same one and for some reason it has taken a liking to my bedroom.

Each day I have needed to do a wasp check before going to sleep, bees are not too bad as they will only sting in self defence and I have no intention to hurt it. Wasps on the other hand will sting people just for fun.

If any one knows how I can prevent the wasp from coming back please let me know.

Whistling, A Skill or Just Annoying

by admin on Apr.11, 2009, under Could do With Less of, Makes Me Happy

Wikipedia defines whistling as:

“the production of sound by means of expelling, and sometimes inhaling, a stream of air through the mouth. The air is moderated by the tongue, lips, teeth, or fingers to create turbulence, and the mouth acts as a resonant chamber to enhance the resulting sound”

When a tune is whistled in harmony to the sound of a beat or the whistler is just making melodies, the sound being produced can be quite joy to hear. The point at where it all goes wrong is where tone deaf people try to carry a note along to their favourite tune.

The reason why I have brought this up today is because I was at the gym and there is always someone whistling along to the tune which is playing over the background. You know how your voice sounds different when its played back to you, well I think the same must rules apply for whistling.

This post is not to just moan about people who can’t whistle, here is an example of air resonanating passing though a sculpture.

Waking up early is not so good

by admin on Apr.10, 2009, under Could do With Less of

The worst thing in the world after having a night out on the beer’s is waking up before 7.


I thought turning off my alarm clock would safe guard me against such things, I wasn’t event that drunk because I was able to sort out a potential canonical issue with my blog.

So I’m laying back in bed thinking I should really get up and quench my thirst.
