The long awaited Google T-shirt for my GHOP participation is here! and $100, which is going toward my N800 fund.



From today on, I'm wearing that to all interviews.

AP chemistry, a test every 2 days. I'm going to fail
Have to study like hell

I can't believe Google can make a math mistake:

See for yourself. 0.0000001×10^-308

If you searched Google lately for "coolest Asian in the world", you will see my name :) and it directs to a page features the article "The coolest Asian in the world".

I was in No.2 in the search page for "coolest asian"(with out double quote), just a bit below some cool Asian girl. Oh, I know there must be someone special who want to help me defeat Flickr.

This is widely known as Google bomb. The bomb successfully exploded in 2 days.

Evil! My first time! Playing Google in my hand...(maybe it will back fire)

The original idea is to impress people in my school... and generate some traffic to my personal blog

SEOing:
I added the phrase "coolest Asian in the world" appear in the following items:

• h1 tag
• strong tag
• url
• a image's alt attribute
• most link-ins' anchor text
• keyword and description in meta tags

It's fun and easy, make your own Google Bomb today!

Update: Nooooooo! this page became No.1! I have to stop myself!

Is there ever a time when you want to show the translation for a word or phrase to your friend?
Google can do it. In fact, Google does it well, except some small translation errors outrage millions of Chinese people.

It is not possible to send the page after the translation to people because you can't see the query string, like this one,

After using Firefox's Live HTTP header, I successfully find the query string! http://www.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&ie=UTF8&text=you&langpair=en%7Czh-CN

hl= the interface language
ie=encoding(I think)
text=the text to translate
langpair=the original language and the translated language

For minimalists: you don't have to pass hl and ie

The Google Translate on URL is the same thing, just replace text with u and the string for test to URL.
I wish I can extract the returning page's translated string(which IS easy) and offers it as a service, people around the world will love me very much.

I just add this to my robots.txt
