I’m not sure whether the car owner is a Cantonese, or ‘Layla’ is actually somebody’s name, but this is rather hilarious to me. ‘Layla’ sounded like ‘come lah’ in Cantonese, and if this particular Volkswagen overtakes you, it’ll say, “Lay la, lay la! come and get me! I’m the New Beetle!!”
How bout this? Ain’t it cool when you overtake someone and this number plate shows up asking you to accelerate! Now that to me, is the call for a challenge. Nice abbreviation there.

Hmm.. to me, both plates seem to suggest that the driver behind them have to knock them from behind.

any news to the release of your theme?
8. narrowband | January 18th, 2006 at 12:56 pm
Alex, because you seem like someone who’d know, I’d like to ask you something.
Web robots (crawlers/spyders/etc) function to go around the internet collecting data right? If a webmaster set his site like this (in his html code):
Meta-name: robot; noindex,nofollow (i forgot the exact tag format)
Does that mean that search engine won’t be able to aggregate his site because no crawlers ever visited his page?
9. Alex | January 18th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
Narrowband: The correct format should be like this.
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">
Robots (crawlers) visits any websites on the Internet, and if your site is up for long enough (few weeks or more), chances are, they’ve been crawled. But since the tag tells the robots to stay away from the site, any links within the site will not be explored, indexed, nor followed.
Thus, no aggregation of your site to the search engine.
Tomas: I shall notify you when it’s done.

Oh! U know why? If you noticed, I’m using Technorati searchlet on my left sidebar to search my archives. But I find it very unstable, it’s like a gamble each time – sometimes you get what you want, sometimes you don’t.
I’ve seen papimami’s one (http://papimami.blogspot.com), he’s using a Google one. I tried installing one powered by Google, but it kept returning 0 results. Then I realised my robots setting all this while had been “noindex,nofollow”.
I’ve just changed it to “index,follow” yesterday, do you think this will correct the problem, and allow me to use Google’s search engine on my site? Since I have just enabled robots YESTERDAY, will the crawlers pick up my archived posts as well (those dated months back)?
Because if you tell me this: The crawlers will only pick up from THE DAY you enable “index,follow” (which was just yesterday)… That means my archived posts will not be picked up by the crawlers loh?

Wah, those number plates are cool! Can we have it in Malaysia? Maybe need to pay JPJ some coffee money eh?
narrowband, no I think the crawlers will index all pages that are accessible, and not specifically only those posted from THE DAY.
12. narrowband | January 19th, 2006 at 8:23 pm
Thank you very much for the info! *enlightened*
13. Alex | January 19th, 2006 at 11:11 pm
narrowband: Google search only works IF your sites/articles are listed in their search engine.
Jacky got it right. Those crawlers will crawl deep down into your links, and that includes your archives. Allow at least a week to see your page being listed though.
