Surprisingly enough I have been thinking about my blog far more than I thought I would on my first post. Initially I thought this was going a one of thing but I think I'm starting to like it - at least for how much one can like something after 3 days. I cannot deny that the comment made by Joycelyn was rather encouraging as it didn't ever occur to me that anyone was going to bother reading anything I write. It never happens at work so why should it happen at all.

Today I was trying out some new RSS software - NewsGator - and I came across a couple of articles about google (link2) and blogging. Apparently Google has been highly influenced by the blogging culture and some searches are eturning 'funny' results. For instance the search 'miserable failure' returns 'Biography of President George W. Bush' as a first result.

I'm amused by the reputation and culture Google has been making for itself on the web. Recently a new free e-mail service, Gmail, has been launched by the search engine giant giving 1GB of free storage for e-mails. Astounding!! Most probably, the best result of my morning Google quest however has been the explanation of the Page Rank Algorithm used by google to index web pages. I'll leave it as a bed time story however.

I've just arrived from a local sports pub and I'm not amused at all. Monaco have just thrashed Real Madrid (3-1), to the dismay of my better half. I'm infuriated with the stubborness of not wanting to get a decent central defender. Soon enough even Helguera and Carlos will be replaced by the likes of Van Nistelrooy of Shevchenko. Take a look at where Guti is playing!
