Just today I saw that Alexa has changed their rating system - their official news announcement says that NOW more sources will be used to come to a rating, also they claim to be using NEW algorithms that will determine the rating even better. Also the traffic from different countries is now taken into account. Hooray - I moved up to Alexa 25,000 (before change: 38,000), which is quite nice for a private blog with some 10,000 visitors daily.

A quick comparison of the famous wpdesigner.com site and my h4x3d.com:

I am not yet sure what I’d want for them, certainly not money, rather something creative or a service.
UPDATE
- Wow that was fast, I did know that I had 10,000 of visitors every day, but I did not know that you liked rapidshare accounts that much. Some mails I received simply said “I want one, please give it to me” and I was like “what the ?” as I explicitly said I wanted to hear your creative offers, thus the accounts fly out to:

Patrick Joyce

Sean Kaizen

Don Atkinson

Takae

Any offers?
Contact me asap then please
You can still contact me, however I do not have any free accounts left!
I am still curious who you (my dear visitors) are and where you come from.

Most of the plugins work, which is amazing! Some plugins (two out of 31) were outdated and the automatic update procedure (either through the plugin central “plugin” or built-in wordpress, I dont know) worked out of the box, too. I just had to input my ftp credentials. Upgrading wordpress to 2.5 went without any major troubles as I used subversion. Again I had to use the sw command instead of the up command.
(see when-svn-up-does-not-work-wordpress-subversion for more and replace 2.3.3 by 2.5, else you downgrade by chance). Weird. Akismet was kind of “crapped out”, so was was form-advanced.php. I deleted them through putty and run an svn update again which fixed it.

Also I did the monthly sql optimization and junked out 9mb of crap. phpMyAdmin’s “optimize” sql works a charm!

What I need to do-
- contact alinks author-
- http://www.alinks.org/ as it is broken in version 1.0rc1
- fix the ela archive: Could not open cache file ‘2008-4.dat’
-restore my fancy 404 page which I seem to have lost. anyone got it?
404 chibby page where are you!
- fix search (looks crap)
- update some of my themes?

There are a bunch of new plugins I want to test, but that has to wait till I have my term paper done (sigh)

Technorati love (apparently)
