The weather was too cold to take a swim, but it was nice anyway.

The flag looks like a mix between the UK flag and the Scottish flag (???).

It must be some kind of maintenance ship or supply ship because you can’t see any canons….

You could search in various search engines for your name for example once a week or once a month, but there’s an easier way! Google got a service called Alerts where you can sign up for various alerts (for example when Google finds a new page with your name).

To setup an alert for your own name simply visit www.google.com/alerts, click on sign in to manage your alerts and login to your Google account.

If you don’t have an account or a Gmail email address you can simply sign up for free by clicking on Create an account now.

Sign in at your Google account

When you have logged in you simply click on the button called “New Alert” to setup a new alert. Fill in your name as the search term and the rest of the details. You may want to use “” around your name so you only get results containing both your first name and last name and not only one of them.

I usually select as-it-happens for my alerts to get an email immediately when someone is writing about me. That way I get the results about 15 minutes after Google found a new page about me :D . If you get a lot of articles written about you you could select for example once a day to not drown in emails.

Fill in the form.

Now your alert is setup and as soon as Google find a new page/article/blog post about you you will get an email with some text and the URL to the page about you.

CrimGirl.com thinks that anyway and that’s all that matters :) . In a post at her web site (click here for link) she’s writing about my post from a few months ago where I’m saying happy birthday to her mom.

In the post she’s writing:

So I just Googled my site to see if it had been crawled in the last.. year…. and noticed a lovely birthday message to my mommy, written months ago by the famous Andreas Bylund.

Notice the text “by the famous Andreas Bylund” :D
