the joys of having a unique name

[baratron]

omfg. Type my real, full name into Google in quotes - and EVERY SINGLE ONE of the hits is me.

The freaky part? Some of those are links to my page FROM PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW.

*hyperventilates*

Nah, I went to these people's web sites, and they don't list other people in common. COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT, HERE!

I need to spam Google to get some of my hits off the front page, as well.
Who the hell wants to be reminded of student union politics from 1998? Ugh.
And my PhD (failed) is up there as well. Joy!

At least I am no longer the first hit for baratron! MKS (the makers of the Baratron (R)) must have done some serious spammage to knock me off! Either that, or my fragmented posting history has done it.

Still hyperventilating!

Meep! That's kind of creepy. Good luck with Google, I hope they respect your wishes. Student Union politics exists to haunt us I am sure *shudder*.

There was some FSVO-controversy at one point about how weblog-like things were getting (it was alleged) artificially inflated rankings on Google and such, due to how things wounds up linked to each other. I've forgotten what little of the details I knew, but some things were done to fix that, and so that might be one reason why you've declined compared to the original Baratron®.
