Invasion of the Google-bots

Invasion of the Google-bots

OK, what are you, and who are you doing here? I mean, who are you, and what are you doing here? According to my statistics, this site gets thousands of “visits” a week. I see very few comments, no “likes”, yet every week, I get more and more “visits”. If you don’t “like” what you read here, why do you keep coming back?

 

If you are a real person, I ‘m really glad you are here. Please don’t misunderstand me. I want real people to read my work, but I find it hard to believe that thousands of people read “On the Money, Work” every week, but no one leaves a comment.

 

That seems strange to me. I’d comment. I’d say something like “Right ON, work SUCKS!!!” and I’d click the ‘like” button. But, I wrote the piece. If I didn’t like it I’d still comment, I’d say “Fuck you!! get a job, you lazy hippie!!!!”. Either way, I’d say something with a liberal sprinkling of exclamation points. If I just thought the piece was stupid, I probably wouldn’t say anything, but then I wouldn’t come back to the site. So, what gives?

 

The Professor suggested that Google-bots may be sucking up my bandwidth. Google-bots! What kind of web-vermin are they?. What are they doing here? How can I get rid of them? Doesn’t AVG protect me from them, or do I have to call an exterminator?

 

I don’t want to kill you, or drive you away from this blog, provided you are a real person. And I don’t mind a bot or two, cruising through now and again, but they shouldn’t be swarming all over my blog. If they bother you while you are here, please let me know.

 

Why is Google sending swarms of Google-bots to my blog? What’s with their moto, anyway: “Don’t be evil”? Greedy, sure, ruthless, absolutely, invasive and prying, fine, but not evil. Well roaches aren’t evil either, but I don’t want them crawling all over my blog!

 

No, I want you to enjoy a clean, polished blog without any verminous Google-bots. So, I did some research into these matters and learned a few things about Google-bots and other browser parasites. I discovered the following site:

Browser Delouser

 I ask anyone who was directed to this site, from a Google search, to click this link. It will take you to the Browser Delouser, which removes Google-bots and stops their proliferation. I encourage you to bookmark this page, and visit it after every Google search.

 

The Browser Delouser removes Google-bots, Windows-worms, Apple-borers and Linux-lice. These vermin, rather than invade your computer, mostly stick to the leading edge of your browser, sucking up bandwidth, by sending data streams of your web-browsing habits, ogling the porn you download, and sending text messages to their friends.

 

While they are not computer viruses themselves, they often carry viruses and other computer infections. So, it pays to limit your exposure to them. I run a nice clean blog here, let’s keep it that way.

Artist bio: The writer in me says: “Don’t tell them who you are, show them what you do.” The artist in me says: “It must be strong, simple, bold, yet rich with detail, but above all, original.” The filmmaker in me says: “We need to contextualize your work by weaving the roots of the Psychedelic Revolution, the Environmental Movement, Gaia Theory, Future Primitivism and musical influences from Iannis Xenakis to Bart Hopkin into a narrative that portrays an iconoclast's struggle for cultural relevance from the forested hinterlands of rural Northern California within the greater post-industrial, post-post-modern, post-reality mind-fuck of the 21st Century.” The critic in me says: “Will that guy ever shut up?” The comedian in me says: “It has to make me laugh at least once.” The engineer in me says: “Don’t forget to tell them that you do it all off-grid, with solar power, using recycled materials.” And the improvisational musician in me says: “Cut! Great job everybody!”

  1. I’m a random dude living in vienna. googled “cicruit bending bible” because I wanted to know if anybody else thinks that this book you mention is indeed THE cicruit bending bible or if there are others & the fuck I know why I wanted to know this. now I see it is not even spelled right, but c00gle doesn’t bother, right? then I started scrolling… & usually I don’t write comments on random blogs, because they require email & shit & I am too lazy filling out this shitty forms & don’t want to have my email & shit all over the web!!!! – and you do a great job in writing whatever crosses your stoned out mind. it is a rainy november friday over here in austria.
    greetings
    d
    fuck now I click post & the gravatar shit knows me – so I type another mail click post & nothing happens. it doesnt work. so I had to reopen a new tab. posting comments is hard fucking work man. THAT’S why nobody posting shit & also because googlebotz

    1. Thanks for taking the time and dealing with the frustration of posting a comment. I don’t post comments on other people’s blogs for exactly the same reason.

      I don’t know of any other book about circuit-bending besides Q Reed Ghazalla’s book, Circuit Bending. I haven’t read it myself, but I do enjoy circuit-bending. You can find lots of circuit-bending resources online, if you are interested in trying it for yourself.

      I’m glad you enjoyed reading my blog on a rainy November day in Austria. I have to smoke a lot of weed to keep this blog entertaining. Thanks for appreciating the effort..
