Google Promote
New to me is Google Promote. I’ve just spotted it today while wasting my time checking where I score for certain terms. You can call me old fashion.
Either way, for this little gimmick to appear you’ll have to be logged in to your Google account. Once you’re logged in you’ll see 2 icons next to your search result. The first one being “Promote” and the second one being “Remove”. If you click promote you’ll see the search result moving to the top of your page. When clicking “Remove” the search result dissapears magically to the bottom of your page. Google has even included a “puffy cloud” that says “poof” when you click this icon!
As for now, i have not seen any change in my search results or comments from other users. Perhaps Google hasn’t released it everywhere yet?

Protect your usb wires… oldskool!
Just when you think you saw everything… I ended up on a Japanese website that, in contradiction to most of them, for once doesn’t sell some weird cartoon porn. It’s quite possible that the people who invent those Japanese toys and products have too much time on their hands.

What?! You Didn’t Google Him?
When you’re applying for a job, especially if it is in the IT sector, it’s getting quite common for an employer to look for you on any search engine. But shouldn’t we start Googling our (blind?) dates? Who knows, he might just be that old dirty guy from around the corner!

hostgator upgrades all their servers to PHP & MySQL 5
I was very pleased to receive an e-mail from hostgator today, in which they stated that they will be upgrading all servers to have MySQL 5 and PHP 5 installed by default! I hope this will send out a message to the other hosting firms, which would finally allow us to start using PHP5 in all our opensource projects.
