Kitne Kool hain parents

May 31st, 2005 by gaurav | 1 Comment | Filed in ,

This Sunday I watched ‘Kya Kool Hain Hum’, a lot has been written about it in press that its a vulgar comedy, adult movie & blah blah… No doubt it is but kids(8-10 years) should not be allowed to see these kind of movies specially at an early age. Kids were all over in the audi of PVR cinema where I was watching the movie and their parents were enjoying the movie.

PR is back..

PageRank is finally visible on toolbars but there has been no major change in SERPs. Its yet to be seen whether there will be any dramtic changes in SERPs ( Search Engine Ranking Positions ). The picture will become clearer in days to come.

PR goes missing !!

Its been three days since Google’s patented PageRank is not being displayed on the toolbars, there is no official word from Google about it and lot of people expecially webmasters / site owners are speculating whether or not we’ll get to see PR back in action or will it remain under cover or will Google do away with it forever.

DMOZ credibility

Over the years, inclusion in the DMOZ became increasingly important, especially after Google began using it as the primary database for its directory and also inclusion in dmoz meant that Googlebot will spider your pages rather quickly.

I have submitted my sites to DMOZ number of times but only twice my sites have been accepted and that too after a period of year and so. I had also written to respective editors but there was no reply from them. I had always doubted the integrity of some of the dmoz editors. They always used to take so long to accept / reject a website and sometimes they never did anything. I read in number of forums, complaints that site administrators do not get any response from editors.

Today, I read in an article from SiteProNews which confirms my doubts over the integrity of some of the dmoz editors.

Also an interesting blog - Corrupted DMOZ editor proves that why it is not easy to get into dmoz the way it should be.

It would be better if dmoz starts hiring paid editors and website submission is to be on paid basis only as Yahoo directory does.

This is one of the forwarded mails that I got sometime back. I just feel like putting my head down after a hectic sunday. Here is an interesting piece to beat your monday morning blues…

11. “I tried to put my contacts on without my hands!!!”

10. “They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen.”

9. “This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time management course you sent to me .”

8. “Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time.”

7. “I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new business strategy.”

6. “I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance.”

5. “I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?”

4. “Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out how to handle
that big quality problem.”

3. “Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?”

2. “Who put decaf in the wrong pot?”

1. [Raise head slowly and say], “…in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
