Where’d My Clock Go?

The clock in the left margin is (was?) powered by clocklink.com, which seems to be having some troubles today:

Unable to request URL from host www.clocklink.com:80: tried all of the host's addresses:

1. www.clocklink.com/216.230.241.101: Connection refused
2. www.clocklink.com/216.230.241.102: Connection refused

Beats Me

I've given up trying to understand what all this means (especially as with RSS taking on more and more of the readership, hit counts become increasingly artificial).

But on this list, Most Popular Blawgs of All Time – Justia Blawg Search, I'm #143. While on one of these two lists, I'm chopped liver and on the other #18.

Spotted via Feminists Law Professors, How Big Is It?, where they care about this sort of stuff…

Perils of Ratings

Usually when I’m complaining about ratings it’s US News or some such. But here’s another bad ratings service:
What's My Blog Rated?

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:

  • torture (10x)
