Please Stand By

Part of me hates when bloggers apologize for lapses in blogging. It’s sort of perverse
that people have to excuse themselves for answering the demands of Real Life™.
The rest of me realizes that readers are what make blogging worth while. That part
part of me thanks you all and apologizes for being incommunicato. Research has been
keeping me busy, which is a good thing. I’ve also been taking a bit of break from
the stresses of blogging. How is blogging stressful? Well, it ain’t easy reading
countless feeds in search of a story worth telling (or retelling). Anyhow, I’m sure
I’ll be back to my usual ways soon (One reader referred to me as a “machine”
due to my posting rate). In the meantime, please take a look at some of the great
blogs in my blogroll (It’s part of the right column.).

P.S. Google doesn’t seem to hate me anymore, but it apparently doesn’t love me enough
to consistently rank my domain as the top hit for “Ales Rarus”. *sigh*

Why Does Google Hate Me?

Who do I have to bribe to get Ales Rarus listed in Google?!? I’ve submitted this
site numerous times to no avail. I even have Google ads in my sidebar (Please click
a few ads, BTW.). My old address on my Pitt account still comes up as the number
one hit for “Ales Rarus”. Nothing I do seems to demote that site and promote
this one. Arrrrrrgh!!!
