Google highlights search terms when you look at their cached versions of web sites, which is nice. But sometimes Google just says, “These terms only appear in links pointing to this page”. It would probably help if the specific links were also highlighted.

I quit checking my website stats with any regularity a couple of months ago when the referral links started to become top-heavy with spoofed spam and porn and I could no longer tell which, if any, were legitimate links.
I should probably start checking them again. Turns out, I’ve had a bandwidth thief on my hands, posting a picture from my website to half a dozen online bulletin boards. It’s not an original picture, and it’s only a small fraction of my bandwidth, but it’s the principle of the thing. Bandwidth thieves must die. So now this photo has been replaced by this photo. It’s probably too late to make any difference, but I’ll leave it up for maybe a week before deleting it from my directory entirely.
My signed copy of Cerebus came yesterday. Neat. All for the price of a friendly letter and a single stamp.
The very tongue-in-cheek letter that accompanied it seemed to indicate that Dave Sim has sent out 908 such return letters — which, now that I think about it, is probably a terrific way of lowering the re-sale value of any one of those signatures. If he keeps this up, you won’t be able to walk into a comic book store or private collection without tripping over a Dave Sim autograph.
Still, it’s not like I’m planning on reselling it. And it is still neat.
