STILL pissing myself laughing

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:57:00 +0000

I've been waiting and waiting and getting annoyed that the group blog wasn't indexed with Google yet. I finally checked the webmaster tools today and yay, it's on Google! But so far the only search...

Generation Alfalfa

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:27:00 +0000

I just had a (long overdue) squizz at what's going on in the land of the webmaster tools. Apparently, "generation alpha" is drawing quite a lot of people to NoAddedSalt. It's becoming difficult to...

Your Assistance Is Requested

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 10 May 2010 17:36:00 +0000

No, no, I don't have eleventy bajillion dollars that I need to transfer out of a Nigerian bank. I have search queries I don't understand. And it's more interesting to ask you than to try and figure...

As promised

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Thu, 06 May 2010 17:19:00 +0000

More bizarreness from the search query trackers. Australian cow (apparently, we have these. I never knew. I've learned more about the country since I've moved abroad.) cow's butt (well yeah. That...

Long Time Between Drinks!

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:04:00 +0000

I decided to check my webmaster tools today and what do I see? Ponderous, ponderous search strings! For your viewing pleasure, I present: nuns in underpants. I just... I... dude. Come on! Someone...

Galleries - Interesting pictures

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Sat, 16 May 2009 23:42:00 +0000

AWESOME sand sculpture photos from festival in the USA. http://linkbee.com/270F The gallery title is "Strange Food" but it should have been called "Food I'm Not Touching". Truly bizarre....

Very Tweety

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Sat, 09 May 2009 14:43:00 +0000

I deleted the LoudTweet on my LiveJournal (because apparently, some people don't like reading my tweets there). Hey, I can actually understand that. It's funny how tweets are cool when you're reading...

A reason for being

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Fri, 08 May 2009 22:53:00 +0000

Merely posting weird search results has made this blog a little difficult to populate. Essentially what I've found is that what I comment about in my search results comes up next time. And I don't...

huge dive

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:39:00 +0000

For someone who's trained in IT, I can be amazingly Luddite in attitude at times. Ok, who am I kidding? I absolutely despise change to anything and everything that might upset, nay, even vibrate my...

BEGIN rant

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 05:29:00 +0000

I love JavaScript. Don't get me wrong, I do think it's incredibly versatile and creative. But I CANNOT STAND its overuse. This is my one and only bugbear with Gmail, which is otherwise absolutely...

In which I extol the virtues of bubble shooting

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:45:00 +0000

As predicted, there are a lot of variations of Bubble Shooter in the search tracking. But in a new development there's now "dead whale bubble shooting". Uh, nice. And someone's looking for "insect...

Alright Team!

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 13:28:00 +0000

Here we go! Today's episode is a story all about me. You'll have to excuse the odd grammatical snafu - searchers CLEARLY pay no attention to my story-writing needs. (Clears throat.) Let's...

Persistence

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 01:29:00 +0000

Just for a taste of something different, I'm going to blog about the things people searched for that led them to my blogs. I had a look at the results for this blog (weird search) and there's nothing...

Fresh Produce

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:39:00 +0000

I had another stroll through the bowels of my referrers today (or, "Where did these people come from?"). A handful of people trickle in here each day; considering I don't promote this place I can...

Nonsense Words

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 05:45:00 +0000

I'll admit it, I never actually expected to discover that people are finding me via nonsense words. I'm now the top search result for "protectrix cowpuncher quickthorn", but that's to be expected,...

Bushfire Appeal

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 19:27:00 +0000

Are you in Australia? Is this you? I'd really like to help out, but to be honest, I am not that rich. You know, it's sad and all, but it's not in my street and life goes on. I don't really want to...

Attention "Template Designers"

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:11:00 +0000

Floating two white columns of 50% transparency over the top of celebrity pic does not a "template" make. Nor are you hosting "over 100 blog templates" by repeating this exact "design" with 100...

American Pink Begone

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:17:00 +0000

I REALISE that the colour scheme now breaks all the rules of design. The background is simply an emergency two-minute fix to remove the ghastly pink that was scaring small children (apologies to the...

UGH!

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:04:00 +0000

This template is now seriously annoying me. It's embarrassing. I apologise for the over-abundance of pink, and the sheer in-your-face blandness of it all. We've nearly got to The Moment, folks. The...

You Found Me HOW?!?!

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 08:52:00 +0000

Today's instalment of weird search features some unusual search string combinations. How novel! ;) First of all, the ones that make sense, since I blogged about something quite similar: paper...

The Joys Of Dialup

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:53:00 +0000

Technically of course, I'm not on dialup. However, my internet plan has a data cap, and once I reach that limit, I am shaped to 28K speed until the end of my billing cycle. You can appreciate that...

Google Is Dangerous!

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:24:00 +0000

Strange Things Are Afoot At The Circle-K, in the words of Ted Theodore Logan. While queueing a post about a ninja and searching for an accompanying image, I discovered that all Google's search...

FeedBurner: The Review

noreply@blogger.com (Elisa Tammela) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 11:42:00 +0000

So I've given FeedBurner some extra time to sort itself out. I'm not 100% happy, but I've decided that It May Stay. (However, if it puts its feet on the couch, leaves the toilet seat up, or eats my...
