PR Update = teh failz

December 22nd, 2007

Jeez… PR is increasingly difficult to hold onto!  I guess that’s the nature of the beast.  As tens of millions  of websites are added to the system every month you need more and more incoming links all the time to make things worth while.

As far as I understand what happens with PR is you get x number of sites in the system (billions) and then you find how many links are to each of those sites, let’s say on average each site has 200 incoming links (you gotta think about sites like Google, with millions of incoming links, and sites like mine with maybe 20 or so).  So there sites with 200 incoming links are PR 5’s (I know more goes into it as if a PR 6 links to you you generally get a PR 5 and most definitely automatically get a PR 3 at the least).

So the more sites that are added to the system linking to other sites the higher that average number of links goes and the more links you must obtain in order to hold onto oh, say a PR 3 (like I’d like to get back to!)

Ugh… so much work for something so trivial!

Bo Lings - Chinese Please!

December 2nd, 2007

Haha, okay, so this site is not going to be used for it’s original purpose.  I originally created this site because I worked for a company called Bo Lings which was just a Chinese Restaraunt here in Kansas City.  I worked at the Zona Rosa location near where I live in Parkville.  And let’s face it, the job sucked.

I don’t really have a problem with being in a place where I am the minority that doesn’t really bother me at all… but to be looked down on and thought of as inferior because you’re not a natural born Chinese person when in AMERICA is just a little bit strange.  Since they hired illegal Chinese immigrants that was also a little bit of a oddity.  The meals there were also WAY over priced I mean you payed like $15 for a tiny little plate of food.  I can go to Rancho Grande and get a whole meal with sides and everything for $8 or go across the street from Bo Lings to Rainbow and get their Chinese buffet for $5 and get a whole heck of a lot more food for 1/3 the price.  The owner and several of the managers were also very cheap… one of the managers would take rice off of peoples table if they left it and put it back in the rice steamer.  The owner required us to charge for extra rice (Ok last time I checked White Rice was something like $.05 per pound and it only takes like 1/8 a lb if not less to make a bowl of rice skip the extra $5 and get yourself some happy customers).

I was just sort of rambling on about these things on my Xanga page because that’s what I do and the owner of Bo Lings found my rant on Google and was furious… He wanted to fire me on the spot, but one of the other managers liked me so he didn’t do it because I actually worked.  Needless to say I went into my usual “I can play this game” mode and went home to register a few sites, planning on taking over the term “Bo Lings” in the search engines so that I could say all sorts of crap about how they run their business… I just got lazy after quitting and eventually never got anything up and going.

Now the site has been up for a long time and has some PR so I figure I’ll take the site, make a blog mostly about china, and chinese things… lots of ancient armor and everything… and fund the site with P3 here in a few months once I meet all the requirements.
