I wasn’t planning to check PR, but somehow I did. The number had moved to 1. I’d always had a vague sense that 0 was the floor—then today I started doubting myself, mostly because my own PR has always felt like it was sitting right at the bottom. So I tested another site and found that a 0 really does exist. That left me a little unsettled: this small site hasn’t done anything since April that should have been worth a PR increase.
The jump to 1 could only be explained by a Google server hiccup—or by my eyes playing tricks. But Sogou’s copycat PR has usually run ahead of Google’s. The fact that Sogou’s number is still stuck at 1 suggests my eyes are fine and the issue is on Google’s side. Either way, going from 0 to 1 is only a one-point difference, but it still gave me a small taste of the surprise that comes with an increase.
I’d planned to spend today properly fixing up the blog. Instead, the power went out all afternoon. Ever since I found Xiao T’s site, I’ve actually put my computer’s IP to work: for the past two days, my IP has been showing up in his visitor log. That’s one of the reasons I got pulled out of the pit of games and TV dramas.
It’s been raining for the past couple of days, and tonight it actually feels cold. That really fits Jiaozuo’s reputation for extreme weather.
