Site Block in Search

Posted by Thoughts and Ramblings on Saturday, January 6, 2007

Lately, since I have been investigating the idea of getting a new cell phone, I have started many searches on the topic. My parents just bought a Katana from Sanyo, and so I have been searching for information on their behalf as well. When I do certain searches in google, such as katana ringtone bitpim, I get a whole host of crap results from blogspot.com. So my solution: Whenever I do a search, I simply blog results from blogspot. So the above search becomes katana ringtone bitpim -site:blogspot.com and surprise surprise, I get relevant results!

On a follow up to my post about TAMU’s DNS settings when using VPN, it seems that they silently fixed it. Now when I access akamai sites, they work. Maybe I embarrassed them enough by diagnosing a problem they refused to believe even existed.
