Google Pagerank Update is on

I saw some threads on Google pagerank update, but could not find any change on any of my websites. I found a thread on DP on this. Its sure that the pagerank update is on. I used the pagerank checking tool for checking my websites and my money making blog just 2 months old has got PR 2 from PR 0, that’s good and I have seen some changes in the search engine ranking for this blog.

Other important thing I have noticed this Johnchow who had lost his PR in the last update has gone from PR 3 to PR 4, I don’t think he has stopped paid links or paid reviews.

Election for the President of Maldives will be held before 10th October 2008. There are two political parties contesting for this election, the DRP and MDP. DRP is the DRP (Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party) which is led by the existing President of Maldives who is the longest serving ruler in Asia. He is in power since 1978. The other party is the MDP (Maldivian Democratic Party).

In a referendum last year, the Maldives voted to adopt a U.S.-style presidential system, a victory for Gayoom and a defeat for the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party which wanted a British-style parliamentary system of government.

Mohamed Nasheed, known as Anni will be contesting on behalf of MDP and Maumoon Abdul Gayoom the current President of Maldives will be contesting for DRP. Anni had recently won the MDP Presidential Primary. The other contenders were Dr. Munavvar and Reeko Moosa.

Googling your name

How can you find if somebody is searching your name on Google.

Self Googling

Searching for your name on Google is known as Self Googling. I do get some traffic to my blog and other websites with my name as the keyword. Now a days many employers do search for the employees on Google to find more information about the candidate. If you try Googling my name “Kishore Asokan“, you will find lots of information about me on different websites. Recently I read a post on Homeland security Googling names. Self Googling is a way to find out how different people around the world and trying to find about you. Some stats show that 47% of the internet users do self googling, infact self Googling reveals your online footprint.

Experiencing the Sea plane in Maldives

This is a video that I took when we were flying from Sun Island resort to Vilu Reef.

Installing Windows XP with Windows Vista

I am using Windows vista on my laptop and I was facing some problems. The biggest problem that I was facing was the disk partition. My hard drive was made to two partition, C drive with 20 GB and D drive with 160 GB. This was a blunder done by the service engineer who installed the OS for me. I was having very less space as Windows Vista takes about 15 GB and when I install any new programs then I need to select Drive D for installation. I tried different tricks to expand my C drive space but nothing worked for me. Other problem that I faced with Vista was some programs were not working properly. So I decided to go for Windows XP and keep the Vista installation intact for the time being.
