The difference that 10 years makes

I’m sure I’m not going to be the only one to be this over the next few days, but it’s fun all the same.

In celebration of 10 years Google has made a specific search available to show results from 2001.

Being the humble fellow that I am, I had to see what the difference in the results for “chastney” were. So from 2001:

I have to admit to doing this in the full knowledge of what the result shows today:

That’s right, in 2001 I didn’t feature at all, today I feature in the top spot – twice.

Back in 2001 there were only 328 entries – now in 2008 we mange 11,800, still a relatively small number.

One of these days I will manage to write something to surpass my now defunct post on Windows Live Writer Dictionary Hacks. The problem is – I keep linking to it.

It’s nice to see that Jimmy and Grandad get a mention under my Flickr stream, but that’s probably only because they were the last pictures that I posted.

It also shows that I need to work a bit harder on my “happenings” site so that it appears somewhere.
