Interesting Algorithmic Result

I’ve always admired the way Google News aggregates news content from thousands of sources into groups of stories. But every now and then, you get interesting, and amusing results like this (Phelps photo with the Dam story):

 

Google News confuses the story

For some reason I was just amused by it :)

Lost my template :(

without comments

While moving to a new provider (Slicehost), I successfully backed up all my post and blog content, but I didn’t backup my theme. So now I forgot what theme it was AND lost the tweaks I made to it :(

How unfortunate! I’ll spend the next few weeks fixing this, but I can’t right now because I’m swamped with consulting work, and setting up the business.

Update: Found Hemingway for WordPress. This was my post. Now I have to retrieve the really nice floating top navigation I had. That one I found on someone’s blog so there’s no way I’m going to find that again. DAMN.
