So, um...

Discuss the latest episodes, speculate on whether or not the show will last another month, tell everybody how much better the show used to be. Whatever, Peckers.

Remember how I wanted to misspell my name on everything CFR-related, so that it wouldn't show up in a google search?

So, yeah... the CFR website is the second thing that comes up in a google search of my name. And seeing as how I'm looking for employment at the moment, it would be really cool if that were not the case.

Yeah...

Hm....I just tried several permutations of your first and last name (*ey, *ie for the first, wy*, wi* for the last) and I didn't find any CFR references on the first page or two... just a sad 1-contact linked-in profile and a credit for generic citizen #1 in Deus Ex: Invisible War (you? or a name-alike?)

maybe I suck at teh google.



I don't show up at all until the second page when I search my name.... whoa... some mp3 cataloging site has a bunch of my stupid fruity loops mp3s that I made.... that's frightening.

It's down to #4, but it's still there:

Okay, so here's the problem. I made sure all the spellings went "Abbie Wyndham" on the About CFR page here. But all those archival sites that copied our old Wikipedia site do have the "old" spelling. I don't know what I can do about that. That's how your name was spelled on the old wikipedia entry, I guess. While we Jackasses knew about your desire to stay incognito(-a), whoever got the old wiki entry started didn't. I'm pretty sure that wasn't me, but my memory from 2006 is not great. :?

Can you edit the Robots.txt file on your website that controls what does and does not get indexed by Googles' indexing spider (and other search engines) to exclude anything that references Ms Wyndham?
