Foogoogled

14 October 2006 by kristarella

Okay so I’m really just relaying something I read on The Foo Logs but these things are cool and I had to mention them.

Google has a new pinging service
that seems to be quite effective. As soon as I added http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 to my Options > Writing > Update Services in WordPress I got all these pingbacks from my own posts and I believe other blogs I’d linked to did as well. I don’t really understand pinging at all, even though two blogs have written posts about it. I must go back and read them because I just don’t get it.

Google also has new gadgets that you can add to your web page. This is a little scary because people have enough useless ugly stuff on their blogs and such as it is. I was a little tickled by the games though. I loved the version of this game from neave games, I had it when I had Windows. So cool! 😀

      Hehe, yeh I too love pacman, I love the neave games one as well, it is a lot prettier than some of the other ones, although if you get your hands on a game called njam it’s pretty cool too. It’s pacman but there’s more than four ghosts (maybe only four kinds but there’s lots on the board) and the feild is bigger and you can play against people on the one computer or have a network duel! Hubby and I play it but it ends up being a bit more of a team work to just get all of the dots and not getting killed by the ghosts rather than a duel.

      Umm, Foo cos I read about these things on your blog and googled cos they’re Google… I thought it sounded cool.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
