A couple of weeks into the second season and the wear is beginning to show. The sore arms, legs and backs are only overshadowed by the bruises sustained by stopping a hard rubber ball traveling at 60mph. Nevertheless, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is moving into its third week with two games that should prove to be exciting.

Tournament organizer Matthew Bowes has posted a definitive page on the charity tournament that also updates the standings.

On Wednesday, Reliable Controls plays Team Telus at 6:30. The next night, Team Metamend meats meets Pareto Logic for what many (well, those of us on Team Metamend at any rate) believe will be the highlight game of the series.

Here’s an except from Matthew’s definitive page about the two charities we’re playing for:

The 2008 charitable proceeds from the 2008 Victoria Tech Community Floor Hockey Challenge will be split equally between the Mustard Seed Food Bank of Victoria and the Boys and Girls Club Services of Greater Victoria (minus expenses).

Google’s page-finding spider, Googlebot, has developed a new talent over the past six months that draws it deeper into areas of the web that were previously inaccessible to search engine spiders. Googlebot can now fill in and submit the simplest type of web-forms and spider through the content hidden behind them. When Googlebot finds useful or interesting information behind web-forms, it adds that content to its index.

Reports of Googlebot working its way through forms started surfacing in November 2007 though the feasibility of the form-filling indexing technique was written up in Bill Slawski’s SEO by the Sea blog in October 2006. It was confirmed by a post to the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog, “Crawling through HTML forms” in April 2008.

Google’s venture into the Invisible Web is extremely interesting though in some cases possibly perilous. An enormous amount of data is, (or was), hidden from search spiders and therefore “invisible” to the general public. While nobody really knows the depth of the Invisible Web, it is estimated to be several times the size of the Visible Web. “Known (or Charted) Cyberspace” is about to get very much larger.
