Looking For Something?

RaynDrop : Looking For Something?

Last updated: 2002-12-28 0358

Google is doing such an excellent job of indexing my pages that all sorts of people are coming here for all sorts of things, which I know they aren't finding. I should probably write up a filter to let these poor folks know that their quest to find psychics in Chicago at McDonald's just isn't going to come to fruition here.

Some of the fun things people looked for and "found" at ryanlee.org, and where Google thought it might be:

SEARCH TERM RESULT COMMENT
ryan lee / Ah yeah, I'm takin' over Google's "ryan lee" search... Number one for "ryan lee" and two for ryan lee

how do i checksum of a mandrake iso 8.2 download /journal/one?journal_id=102 If you're on a UNIX machine, the command md5sum will do it. On Windows, you'll have to download a DOS tool.

definition of fill_in_the_blank /doc/schema-browser Here's a tip kids: if you want the definition of a word, look at a dictionary, and if you're looking for a concept, just search for the word. Searching for "definition of stocks" is almost definitely not going to get you to what you're looking for. Instead, if you come here, you'll find the DDL (that's Data Definition Language) for creating a database table called "stocks."
