Cuil? WTF!

Few days ago a new search engine was published, and many media covered the it. I supposed for that, that it should be something important, but I think that in few days it'll only be important for its creators. Why I think that? Well, here you have my arguments for that conclusion.

From Cuil: "Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft."

From Google: "when our systems that process links on the web to find new content hit a milestone: 1 trillion (as in 1,000,000,000,000) unique URLs on the web at once!"

From myself:  1,000,000,000,000 * 3 = 3,000,000,000,000

From Alexa: "Vaig.be has a traffic rank of 1,163,358"

Conclusion:  You're supposed to have 1 trillion pages, and you don't have my blog, that is the 1 million page more visited around the world? WTF!

2.000 Page views

Today, this blog has reached page view number 2.000. This blog had some testing sample versions, but started in a serious way on February 24th, 2007 (8 months ago).

In this time, probably nothing very interesting has been published here, you know; but when some months ago I started using and hacking Django, I started writing many posts about it, and that created many visits interested in my hacks, tips...

I don't know what will happen in the future, if visits will increase, or if I'll have more interesting stuff to tell; but all what I can say is that I'm so happy having my voice in the Internet, for those who want to listen to me.

New design

It will be obvious for returning visitors, but I've changed this blog design. Selected theme has been 3K2.

As well as a design change, it supposes a more important role on publicity, and the addition of a working search engine.

I hope you like it,  and comments will be welcome. Enjoy!

Wordpress spam comments

Today I've installed a new WordPress plugin, to avoid robots write comments on this page. It's very common that spammers use blog comments to link their pages, as publicity, and for increasing their pagerank.

It can be solved in WordPress using JSSpamBlock plugin from Paul Butler. Thanks man!

Technorati

This blog has been added to Technorati directory.

This is it's Technorati Profile

Vaig bé host changed

Due to many problems with blogger, finally I've changed this host placeholder.

I've done it using WordPress software and a private hosting. Some work is still missing, but all my problems disappeared. :)

Blog Impact

Probably this post would never be in any top 10, or appearing in any IT magazine, but after few weeks we already have a PageRank #2, and we are appearing in Technorati.

Those are good news, so we still have some handicaps, specially due to blogger issues, that make this blog appear with different names...
http://vaigbe.blogspot.com/
http://vaig.be - http://www.vaig.be
dividing our PageRank, and creating future dead links.

DNS update at vaig.be

I've changed the dns settings for this blog, because a blogger issue (I suppose) that didn't redirect requests to http://vaig.be to this blog (just from http://www.vaig.be).

Blogger manages external domains for blogs, but with previous commented issue, so I'm not going to use this feature anymore, and I'll use http://vaigbe.blogspot.com and change dns settings for my domain vaig.be.

This means that this page won't be available throw http://www.vaig.be for some time during dns update, and dns mirrors update. I apologize for it. But after dns updates it will be also available at http://vaig.be and http://vaigbe.blogspot.com.

New blog

This is the new placeholder for my blog. It's hosted by Google's blogger service.
Main purpose of this blog is sharing computer related experiences. Despite of this, I've added some photo galleries about my personal live (specially traveling).
