Searching like a mad woman
Katy has found a new project over the last month. Early January, Katy was looking up Lindsey Hulit (Katy’s best friend from high school) and encountered the web server statistics for St. Olaf (the school which Lindsey attends). This spawned an idea for Katy. She began repeatedly searching for, and clicking on St. Olaf Lindsey Hulit links, to increase her standings in the search phases portion of the web statistics. Her results have been rather impressive. “Lindsey Hulit” is now the most searched phase on the St. Olaf website (beating out the schools name “St. Olaf”) and the words Lindsey and Hulit are the most searched words for the site as well. This is rather impressive when you figure that there are over 20,000 hits for those words. Katy’s efforts have been aided by the fact that you can hit refresh on one of the relevant pages, and it continues to count as a search result (because of HTTP header information). If Katy can keep the stats up for one more day, she will have captured the monthly stat title. Check out the results here.
In other Katy-friend news, Katy’s maid of honor, Holly, was recently engaged. Congrats goes out to her and her fiance Jesse.

That’s just plain sad. So she didn’t come to Madison because she was tired from hitting refresh on a web site??
