whitehouse.gov’s open door policy. Even for spiders.

While doing research on robot.txt files, which sit on a web site and tell visiting search engine spiders what pages and directories to skip when they index your pages, I found this article at codeulate.com regarding the new whitehouse.gov robot.txt file.

Two days ago, under the Bush administration, the file listed over 2400 directories that were not searchable on whitehouse.gov. Paranoid much?

Under Obama, one.

It’s a bit freakish but I guess in the long run it’s a good thing that a ‘type’ has been established (although they don’t seem to be able to set me up with any of these people in real life.)

Apparently now he’s also an author and a book cover designer or some shit like that. I have limited information on him as I have yet to watch the video with the sound turned on.

Wow, the last few posts have made me out to be a totally desperate, nerd obsessed, pervert, photoshopping stalker2.

Hmmm. Let’s just keep this between us, eh?

I promise my next post will be on how bored I am with the whole Clinton/Obama thing (does Hillary’s delusional sense of entitlement irritate anyone else?) or California’s recent Gay Marriage Ban reversal:
