blogspot.com and google indexing

So there is this Blogger.com 'blogger' SearchBar and blog webring bar at the top of this page. I could have chosen to get rid of it using a simple CSS hack, but I chose not to, thinking that it would actually work, and that the average user could search this page.

Well they can't. At least not yet.

Cause google hasn't indexed this blog yet. For instance, using the google search "AWESOME site:tmarthal.blogspot.com" returns 0 results, when it should return 100 million. So while we wait patiently for the google robot to spyder these pages, we have to be content in the fact that they will eventually get here, and the SearchBar will eventually work.

I can't wait for the search bar to work because I have SO MANY things I want to search this blog about. It's wealth of information can only be tamed by such a beast as Google itself.

My Yahoo! Answers Science Post

I am my dad's personal Yahoo! answers person when it comes to things science and physics. So when I received a question on the dual nature of light and matter, I wrote him back a nice long (LFP!) email in answer. I thought I'd share. Question: Sound travels in waves and needs an "ether" for transmission. Light is also a wave but doesn't need an ether. Is light in space "wave" or "particle"? because when light bends do particles bend or this this one of the examples of light as wave? Answer: Sound is a pressure wave. It is the compressing of molecules. It is the compression that is the sound. Light is a wave of electromagnetic fields, fields in this case being force representations. The light wave is a constant of nature in which a electric force changing will produce a magnetic force which will cause an electric force in a stable, repeating way traveling forward. There are other places where electricity creates magnetic forces and v...

Tailgates

So, The University of Arizona basketball team is coming to Los Angeles this weekend to play USC and UCLA. Its been a tradition of our little AZ clique to go to the games for the last 5 years. However, UofA was a pretty good basketball team the majority of those years. Now with Rodgers gone, out of the top 25 rankings for the first time in 7-8 years, and Lute giving the kibosh on 3 point attempts (he should just tell Radenovich to stop shooting) things are swinging back into the LA team's favor. Which brings me to the issue of tailgates. It would be nice to actually have a truck to go to the basketball games and put the tailgate down and sit and have a few beers and kick back. Well, I used to be able to do that. Alas, as bad luck would have it (with the help of a few boys from a local chop shop ) my tailgate on my pickup truck was stolen clean. In the place where I park my truck at night. I mean, I see CLKs, H2s, m3's and all sort of $$$ MB cars next to mine. And they have...

Blog Code Formatting

Note (2012): This post was about a previous webdesign, and no longer applicable. I finally added code formatting to my blog. I used a completely 'client side' javascript library called syntaxhighlighter , hosted on Google Code . Note that I'm currently linking javascript directly from their web facing SVN repository, so I'm not sure how stable it is (but hosting it on googlepages didn't seem to work (they disallow js linking I believe)). Although it is a technology blog, I thought I posted more code about stuff. I only seem to have two posts where I actually put up any code (But maybe that's because it was horribly formatted?), and they now both have pretty Java and XML formatting: http://tmarthal.blogspot.com/2008/02/spring-framework-sample-main-method.html http://tmarthal.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-foray-into-xmlrpc-calling-perl-from.html Maybe one of these days, I'll find use for a blog again. The whole concept of blogging seems so dead.
