Forum posts slower to get indexed than blogs

While this website continues to get relatively little traffic, I do follow the search trends pretty closely.  After the initial good results during the Mayday update, it appears Google has fine tuned the results to again include pagerank as a bigger factor.  Lack of links to this website is the main reason I think some of the posts are getting much less traffic than similar posts on another one of… Read More »Forum posts slower to get indexed than blogs

Dog eats human – food

I’m not sure if you’ve seen the story about the drunk man whose dog ate his infected toe?  “Experts” believe the dog was attracted to the man’s toe because of high sugar levels in the man’s toe.  The guy suspected something might be wrong with his foot for a few months but had only recently made an appointment. And the man’s wife is a nurse?  This is another one of… Read More »Dog eats human – food

IMG Docs better at treating heart attacks

Just read an interesting news article about a study showing treatment of heart attack patients was best amongst doctors who were born and trained overseas and are now practicing in the United States.  Second best group was US born citizens who trained in US medical schools – but they were still 9% worse than the foreign born/trained docs.  The worst group were US born citizens who trained overseas – doing… Read More »IMG Docs better at treating heart attacks

Unable to get activesync working on my TP2

After around 7:30am today I stopped getting emails on my touch pro 2.  I’ve had this happen before and usually I just get a message in Activesync saying that some settings were updated on the server and I need to OK for it to resynch and I may loses changes since the last time I synched (sunk?) my phone.  This time I had no such luck. I went into activesync… Read More »Unable to get activesync working on my TP2

Troubleshooting blog posting software

Very odd. I entered a post through Diarist earlier today and it didn’t show up on the website. It is listed under my posts on the website but the status is “scheduled” for the time earlier today when it was sent to the website. Not sure why it didn’t publish and I’ll see if I can get it to show up now.

Flying maggots

Article about maggots brought on an airplane  I’m curious what the passenger was thinking who brough maggot filled meat onto a flight and went to put it in the overhead bin. I’m thinking this may be one of my potential clients. Next time someone says they are afraid of flying, I’ll need to ask if that is from fear of crashing or because of infestations.

ATT Customer Support Experience

It was really weird.  One day everything is working totally fine on my phone and then the next day whenever we made outgoing calls, the caller ID on the receiving person’s phone would show as a private caller.  While most people would find this as just a minor nuisance, this was a bigger problem for Mrs. F as she works from home and when she makes business calls, people need… Read More »ATT Customer Support Experience

Bizarre interests in Google search

So I’m looking through the Google trends just now, and while I’ve seen some weird searches before, I have to say this one got my attention – perhaps because of my pseudonym.  I can’t figure out why the search phrase “why does my mom turn me on” is number 6 on the google trends right now.  It’s a pretty bizarre topic so I figured maybe there was some kind of… Read More »Bizarre interests in Google search

Removing malware experience

Mrs. F downloaded a virus while looking up information on baby crib safety – imagine that of all topics to use to add malware to a website.  If their assumption is that people researching baby cribs are not as tech saavy, I suppose they are correct in this case as Mrs. F started to yell for my help.  At least she is smart enough to recognize the pop-up saying that… Read More »Removing malware experience
