'c'mon goog, crawl me!

I'm guessing some of you might be privy to the secret of how google schedules its crawls, I'm hoping that once you get crawled you don't have to wait while the whole of the rest of the web has a go before you get your next turn.
I submitted a whacking great sitemap yesterday morning for www.shop.bench.co.uk but no activity yet.
So in a shameless attempt to hijack the fact the this blog is crawled more frequently than every other day I thought I'd use it to speculate about whether or not the bot will follow this link to www.shop.bench.co.uk from which you can, should you choose to do so, buy Bench clothing, e.g. t shirts, online. :-) The last time that site was crawled coincided with the last time I posted a link in this blog, so fingers x'ed.
Oh, and I'll let you know if it did any good...
P.S. if *you* want to follow the link please arrange amongst yourselves for at least 1.2% of you to actually buy something, I don't want to be held responsible for lowering conversion rates!

Phew, made it...

Yesterday we launched two new sites
An online store for Bench Clothing at www.shop.bench.co.uk WHY WAIT BUY NOW!!
This one uses some AJAX and is also integrated right through to the company's Navision system for finance, stock control, and operations in the warehouse, so when you add something to your basket even though the page doesn't reload we've checked the live stock levels to make sure they have what you want.
and a brand site at www.bench.co.uk which is awesome looking and a great achievement by the guys.

Arguments in Conflict

This bizzare bit of prose appeared on a site I was trying to view just now masquerading as an error message:

"Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another."

And I thought, yes that could be bad. Arguments of the right type are unpleasant but necessary if you want your relationship to last, and yes, you do need to keep them within an acceptable range. Arguments in conflict with one another, however, sounds like fisticuffs and that's no good at all. I hope that server can resolve its issues.
