ExpressionEngine Kills My PageRank
Posted on
We’ve detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (Success) in the header.
That is what Google says kills my PageRank. ExpressionEngine says that this is feature. Routing all of my not found pages to my home page and returning a success error code. I asked if they would fix it and they said no.
Solution: write my own engine. I’ve already started. This will make the 8th engine I’ve used and the 10th design. I like making web sites.
Data Portability
Posted on
DataPortability.org is a project that aims to connect all of the networks that you are a part of into one system to make all of you data easy to manage. I don’t know how this works yet, but it seems really cool. I’m all for open standards and sharing of data. Check out their website. I want to get involved. Hopefully we’ll see some of this implemented at LifeChurch.tv.
New Contact Information

I just got a new phone number. I figured it would be better to have a local number in Oklahoma instead of keep my Louisville number.
My new number is 405 365 4440. My old number doesn’t work anymore.
Moving into my new apartment was awesome. I love it here so far. I can’t wait to get started tomorrow at LifeChurch.tv!
Life Updates

Life has been crazy. I’ve been putting off writing about it until some of the final details were finalized. Everything is happening all at once. It’s hard to get anything done on my blog, two companies, freelance, and everything else I have going on besides work and doing stuff I don’t want to do like get car insurance renewed or deal with a mistake I made on my taxes in 2006. (I think taxes should be a flat rate by the way. The IRS is stupid because they seem to enjoy over complicating something you already hate - giving money to the government so they can waste it on their ridiculous salaries. Sorry for the rant.)
I guess I’ll just list what’s going on and talk about each of them. Here I go: I’m engaged, I just bought a new car, I quit my job at Southeast, I just moved out of my apartment, (here’s the big one) I’m moving to Oklahoma in two days to start a new job at LifeChurch.tv.
I just asked my girlfriend of a year and a half, Bethany, to marry me on December 2nd. I got the diamond ring and everything. In short, I made her one of her favorite meals, ravioli, (when I say made that means I heated up some sauce on the stove, and boiled the pre-made ravioli) gave her a box of chocolate from Godiva with the ring in the box, got down on my knee when she opened it and asked her to marry me. After all of that, we went to her house where all of our family and friends were. We all celebrated together. It was good.
Google Is Awesome

I saw this on Digg. It's some engineer that works at Google giving a 50 minute presentation on how their data center works. They have hundreds of thousands of machines that run their filesystem (Google File System or GFS). They can recover from one machine failing in less than 2 seconds.It's pretty crazy. You should check this out. The first few minutes are a bit slow, but it gets awesome pretty fast.
