the smedley log - suburban scrawl

Can someone explain page rank to me?

‘cause mine just jumped from five to nine sometime between yesterday morning and forty minutes ago, and I don’t believe it’s legitimate for some odd reason. I hit refresh a few times, but no change. Weird…
To change the subject, congratulations to Mark of The Long Cut on two counts: one, celebrating his 13th wedding anniversary, and two, completing the annual Broad Street Run, which this year spawned a Baghdad version – so congrats to the service personnel who ran on Sunday as well.

In other news, Ellen, of Tao of Jordan, has been quietly warming new digs over at The Sam and BeckyBoo Show – and yes, she’s another convert to Wordpress (it’s always good to see another newcomer to the flock). She’s a cat person, but you can stop over and congratulate her anyway.

Another question before I go: does anyone know anything about this ESS.TV? I’ve been watching it a little these past few days via Winamp, but I can’t figure out how they do it, or if it’s even remotely legal. Anyone?

And now, as I type this ending to another potpourri post, I see my page rank has once again plumbed to its normal depths. At last, all is right with the world and I can finally get some sleep.

Thanks for the mention and I am quite enjoying the new digs and have Chris (Rowhouse Logic) to thank for the Wordpress – doing posts on RL really made it clear how big a difference the right blogging tool is.

And I’m actually fond of both cats and dogs, but being an apartment person limits what I can own.

hmm, you’re at a 5 for my browser right now

which is right where it should be, but I’m curious as to why the weird little jump occurred—maybe a glitch with the toolbar. Which makes me wonder if there’s a way to throw it off on purpose…

i’ve found that sometimes the pagerank is sticky from the last page. say if i’m on nyt.com or bbcnews, the next page i load will be a 9/10 or 10/10. it may be a memory leak error in ffx?

Google might have been working on their methods..I sometimes go from a 5 to 1 or 5 to 3 and it stays that way even with refreshes. Going to 1 can be a traumatic experience!
