Our beloved Renault Mégane is being serviced for the first time at Leal. Owing to the high level of humidity in Mauritius right now, some irritating faults have developed in the car’s electronic system (no automatic wipers and intermitent failure of the auto lights). There are also some other little problems that need to be looked upon (some vibration in the exhaust pipe (I think) for instance). Fortunately, we won’t have to pay anything : the car is still under warranty…

But, all for all, after 6 months, we (Christina, the kids and I) are rather satisfied with the car. It is very very comformable and it looks nice :-)

Google has recently presented a new technique to completely eliminate spam from weblogs.

Basically, every user submitted link MUST have the rel=”nofollow” attribute added. This MUST be enforced by the weblog software (eg. WordPress or Movabletype). When this attribute exists, Google DOES NOT FOLLOW the link hence completely nullifying the effect of comment spam (which is to disrupt Google’s PageRank algorithm).

Nice :-)
