Using technorati tags

Just a technical question: How does a technorati tag work? I have already tagged the previous post but still there is no sign of indexing at Technorati. Do they moderate and review the tagged posts?

On-topic:

reza (procrastinating dusty scalawag) - isn't there a (long)list of things you need to be working on? btw, this is tops on the list: GAS: The Necronomicon of Deleuze (where is it?).

did you see this?

I’m working, I’m working but in the meantime, I love to post some comments on Dr. Hackhammer’s Shoggoth materials; 'GAS' is my first work, it will be published soon (as well as Homo-stasis) and will be available in the US and UK; however, because of some very complex (some pleasant and some incredibly horrible) life changes, I have asked the publishers to halt the process temporarily, so they won’t be available this year or in early 2006.

Yes, I checked the help page and used all their suggested methods: manual, automatic, even their own pinging / indexing tool, rechecked the syntax of the tags ... but they didn’t work.

btw, remove 'machines are digging' from your list; i finally updated the post. ;)

no excuses you slow sidewinder (gosh i missed ya). did you check movable type help?

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 05:03 AM

 

 

getting my thoughts together on your "Zravan Akarana" comments below. got a link for you to check out.

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 05:04 AM

 

 

"incredibly horrible" - am i wildly worried or mildly concerned?

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 05:10 AM

 

 

>>> slow sidewinder

is it another codename for 86?

>>> did you check movable type help?

Yes, i did. I guess you should check the post, maybe there is something wrong and i haven't noticed.

>>> have a 60 pages paper on Zravan in Farsi (based on my own archeological investigations) and more than 10 reference works in Farsi and English the most accurate of them is Hasheme-e Razi 'The Mysteries of Mithra' (the farsi title is Aien-e Mehr) in two volumes, the most elaborated work on Mithraism i have ever read.

>> is it another codename for 86?
no. this is: peskie 86 sidewinder

the technorati link has gone "poof!"

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 05:40 AM

 

 

"Dr. Hackhammer’s Shoggoth materials" - i am investigating the genesis/etymology of the use of the word "Pest". do you know who put the pest in "Pest"?

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 05:45 AM

 

 

>>> the technorati link has gone "poof!"

what do you mean? which technorati link?

>>> Pest

I don’t know very much (just general etymological information) but:

Before the known usage as pestilence / deadly contagious (pestis), it has been a swear word. In old Latin, people used it for damning / cursing a thing or person in this simple syntax:

Pestis Avernus: Damn the hell

Or similar to my usage of pestis solidus which contains both meanings:

Curse solidus, and pestilential solidus.

Or ‘pestis cruento’ which was a popular swear word in battles.

i'm confused. there was a trackback link that disappeared.

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 06:15 AM

 

 

should i reactivate the ping trackback?

Posted by: Reza at March 22, 2005 06:19 AM

 

 

i'm analyzing asteroid Pest right now (were you aware there was an asteroid named "Pest"?). interestingly, a Philip Sedgwick article on Centaur 2002 PN34 (Pest conjuncts PN34 on the zodiac chart i'm working on): "Knowing that the Earth plane is considered spiritually dense often, leads me to wonder if people follow suit. Sometimes when the logic of life unravels and the explanation of circuitous thinking reveals the underlying thought process of the loquitur, you gotta scratch your head. Where do those black holes of consciousness hide?" -- seems fitting when considering holey complexities. asteroid Pest's number is 6817, which is also a polytope (whatever that is).

and i meant: who first used "Pest" in the gas-warmachine-etc sense? D&G?

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 06:23 AM

 

 

Interesting information, no i wasn't aware of this little thingy. sounds a good place for picnic.

i guess West and Jay but unknown sources revealed that the first pestilential usage of Pest in connection to warmachines, parasite eve, GAS, Drujaskan, Meltdown comes from a book named Homo-stasis (unfortunately, there is no published copy of this manuscript for further investigations).

Posted by: Reza at March 22, 2005 06:30 AM

 

 

"Homo-stasis" - it's here
http://www.cold-me.net/Homostasis.pdf

(and it's quoted several times at hyperstition)

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 06:33 AM

 

 

hope this helps:

yes, i would enable trackbacks.

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 06:41 AM

 

 

>>> Homo-stasis

it's just an excerpt from the book, i was talking about; the whole manuscript, as i have heard has been completely changed and (re)modified many times (rumors about driving its publishers / editors mad because of frantic changes by the author).

Many thanks for the technorati help. Currently writing some answers to Nick's questions, then will discuss Zravan.

northanger - in the movies, characters who ask such questions are always the first to die horribly. But feel free to keep prying into the influenzic gulfs ...

Posted by: nick at March 22, 2005 07:00 AM

 

 

lol, you ARE a peskie 86 sidewinder. PUBLISH something already!

okie dokie. i will amuse self by writing "peskie 86 sidewinder" post.

Reza - sorry the Hackhammer stuff is oozing out so slowly - his notebooks are a total mess, spattered with blood and noxious body fluids - trying to make sense of them is pretty revolting work (but someone has to do it)

Posted by: nick at March 22, 2005 07:03 AM

 

 

nick - you are an obnoxious goat. (and you would be the Kevin Costner character in The Big Chill: already dead).

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 07:09 AM

 

 

northanger - just trying to be helpful, but carry on - Hyperstition needs its own "doomed dabbler"

Posted by: nick at March 22, 2005 07:11 AM

 

 

Nick: "northanger - in the movies, characters who ask such questions are always the first to die horribly. But feel free to keep prying into the influenzic gulfs ..."

ROFL (movie makers call it 'nosy-warm up technique'), it is the part of horror movies that i love.

can't wait for CCRU shanghai + preparing some commentaries on Hackhammer's remark on Qom

Posted by: Reza at March 22, 2005 07:18 AM

 

 

"helpful" - snort!
"doomed dabbler"? - takes one to know one.
(birds of a feather flock together)

"it is the part of movies that i love" - et tu, sidewinder?

imnvho, the Qom is a dead end. a red herring.

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 07:25 AM

 

 

northanger - snorting just makes you sound ridiculous (i'm telling you that as a friend).

PS. 'Doomed dabblers' never listen to helpful advice, with consequences that scarcely need elaborating.

Posted by: nick at March 22, 2005 08:17 AM

 

 

know what, vauung? things would make better sense if you decloaked.

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 09:18 AM

 

 

i thought Vauung was the 'good twin' (?)
Also note: complete absence of snorting, despite extreme provocation

Posted by: nick at March 22, 2005 10:10 AM

 

 

neither one of you is any good.

Posted by: northanger at March 22, 2005 10:26 AM

 

 

now you've upset Vauung

Still no sign of indexing at Technorati! Maybe i should delete these useless tags.

Posted by: Reza at March 23, 2005 02:55 AM

 

 

BtW - "asteroid Pest" report excellent - hope 'someone' keeping an eye on it

BtW2 - How difficult is it to stick pix on posts? Got a short tutorial on the topic from a Ccru-UKer yesterday, seems to require a specific html code ... (???)

reza - ???

Nick,

>>> How difficult is it to stick pix on posts?

First go to Hyperstition’s control panel, the first sidebar section (post), the third option is ‘Upload file’, select it, browse the picture and click upload file; after uploading the picture, select 'embed html' option and click finish. Copy / paste the html code to your post.

Posted by: Reza at March 23, 2005 08:01 AM

 

 

dabbler,

No, it doesn't work. i moved the tags to the entry but it didn't help.

Posted by: Reza at March 23, 2005 08:03 AM

 

 

Reza - thanks, will test ASAP

Posted by: nick at March 23, 2005 08:03 AM

 

 

reza - first, confirmed working technorati tag from livejournal. manual ping working ok after 15 mins.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/northanger/46696.html

pinged this page @ 20mins ago (nothing yet):
http://hyperstition.abstractdynamics.org/archives/004341.html

working theory? isn't hyperstition.abstractdynamics.org a subdomain? that could be the problem.

which reminds me. please tell me you have every form of hyperstition (net, org, com, etc) reserved.

:O

Posted by: northanger at March 23, 2005 09:24 AM

 

 

isn't hyperstition.abstractdynamics.org a subdomain?

i guess so, then what's the solution?

Posted by: Reza at March 23, 2005 09:29 AM

 

 

submit bug report (support@technorati.com). mention sub-domain, etc. (hearing technorati ((located in SFO natcherly)) are highly responsive)

good links here: http://developers.technorati.com/wiki/FrontPage
