Carlzimmer.com Will Not Bite You

Just a technical note–for some reason my site carlzimmer.com has been put on some bad list by Google, so that you are warned that if you go to the site your computer will melt into a pool of liquid germanium. But it’s safe.

    Oh good grief :D

    And the Google report actually says:

    * 0 page(s) (at your site) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent.
    * did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.
    * has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

    Therefore, O noes!!1! ur a l33t hax0r!

    Like I would trust google to rate sites accurately anyway. ^^

    Though, I could use some pounds of molten germanium. *evil grin*

    You have been de-listed.

    I posted the comment on the other thread, accidentally with the wrong email address.

    You may want to talk to Wesley Elsberry. He had a similar problem a while back with the Talk Origins Archive. He should have some idea of what to do to get it relisted.

      I once wondered aloud if scientists had tattoos of their science. The answer was yes, and this ever-growing collection is the evidence. I've turned them into a book about art and science called Science Ink: Tattoos of Science Obsessed.

      • Why “The Loom”?

        "...among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters, heaved the colossal orbs. He saw God's foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad." --Moby Dick
