Every now and again, as an exercise in vanity, I type "James McDonald" into Google Search to see where in the scheme of things I rank according to them.

Today I typed in my name and was surprised to see this website is on the first page of results. Usually I would click through about 10 Google search result pages before my site would come up - and I would also have to type in both my name and another search term such as Telarah or Linux.

So on the internet landscape it appears my website is finally on top of a metaphorically visible hill.
