Google Rank Update

I've been the #1 Grossberg on Google for a while now, but my first name is moving up. I'm now the #23 Joe.

I wrote a script that utilizes Mark Pilgrim's easy-to-use pyGoogle module.

The script is trivial, I've hard-coded some data, and I might change it around and use iterators and/or generators instead, since those look kind of fun.

Still, like my wishlist-sorting script, I may post the source code at some point. For now, though, neither is fit for public consumption.

That's a good idea, iterators and generators own; I don't think I've written a single program without them since I upgraded to 2.2. Make sure to pydoc itertools, there are a lot of useful functions in there that are all implemented in C for efficiency.

If you're still on Python 2.2, the pydoc for itertools (available on 2.3) actually contains pure Python implementations for all of the functions that you could cut + paste if you really needed to support 2.2.

Recently I achieved a #1 for "david kearns" which made me happy. I'm only #3 when it comes to "kearns" with a professor and a town in Utah above me. And I'm well over #450 when searching for "david"
