Ostankino TV tower
The fire in the TV tower in Moscow is under control, says CNN: Russia tower fire ‘under control’
The article says that three people are trapped in the tower. The German news site Seite 1 says two people, a fire fighter and an elevator operator, have been found dead. They didn’t know whether there was a third person in the tower.
Hier sind die Artikel von Seite 1 zum Brand im Ostankino Fernsehturm:

Letzte Meldung: Zwei Tote bei Brand in Moskauer Fernsehturm
Update: The SWR 3 radio news just said that four people died in the tower. The fire has been extinguished, but the tower probably has to be torn down because some steel ropes inside the tower have been destroyed by the fire. The ropes hold the tower in place, but were not heat-resistant and thus torn by the fire.
| Finally! The photos are here. Do you remember that André and I met Craig in Koblenz on June 14? Well, I took some photos then, and I finally got them developed! I also had a Picture CD made, and here are a few shots of us in Koblenz. Notice that Craig wore his UserLand Frontier T shirt so we could recognize him when we met in his hotel’s lobby. (You can see the UserLand sign best in the last picture.) |  A closer look at Craig’s and my thumbs |

Rankings und LinkBack
Der Schockwellenreiter beschäftigt sich mit diesen Rankings:
“Kann mir mal jemand sagen, warum, obwohl ich hier über 20 Einträge habe, ich dort nicht auftauche? Habe ich wieder irgend eine Registrierung übersehen?”
Keine Ahnung. Normalerweise müßte die Registrierung bei Weblogs.com ausreichen. Und da bist Du ja registriert. Falls es Dich interessiert: Zufällig habe ich da gestern geguckt, und ich war auf Platz 75. So wie ich das Ding verstehe, kann es da aber täglich recht große Änderungen geben.
“Apropos Ranking: Andrea, ist irgendetwas mit Linkback nicht in Ordnung? Da läuft bei mir schon seit Tagen nichts mehr.”
Ist bei mir auch so, seit dem 9. August. Unten auf der Seite steht ja immer, wann sie erstellt wurde. Keine Ahnung, was da los ist. Kleine Aussetzer gab es schon ab und zu mal, aber ich hatte jetzt nicht die Muße, mich darum zu kümmern, d.h. Jeremy eine Mail zu schreiben.
if you notice the date up top, the ‘hotlist’ hasn’t cycled since 8/14/00.
as a rule, mine runs about four or five links less than doing a search on weblogs.com. in other words, if i search for ‘array.edit’ on weblogs.com, i get between 27 and 32 people linking to me. the ‘hotlist’ usually reports 24-29.
i can’t search on ‘array’ because the term array is used in many javascripts, giving a false positive.

Oops, I didn’t notice that! Maybe we should tell UserLand about that…

There was some more discussion over at the Schockwellenreiter’s Discussion Group, and arf (one of the NetDyslectics) said the harvester counted only links to the homepage, i.e. http://array.editthispage.com (with or without an additional “/” in the end), but not links to discuss or a story or a day. That would be the reason why the hotlist finds fewer links than a search.
I just tried andrea.editthispage.com: The hotlist harvester found 20 links on August 14, while a search yields 27 links today. That’s pretty similar to your results.
dave mentioned the hotlist harvester not working the other day on scripting news.
the ‘arf’ hint explains a lot i didn’t understand. thanks!
