Pizza a Domicilio buys Mister Pizza

One way to increase the Page Rank of a web site is to buy an old website which has a good page rank and it's on sell.
Then by using an HTTP 301 redirect, all the traffic will be forwared to the website you want to rank better. Then, shortly after Google has recognized the change, it will pass the PR of the old website to the new one.

This is why today I bought www.mister-pizza.it. It has a PR of 2 and I payed about 400€. Not really what I call a bargain, but I hope it will be worth it.

At the time of writing the redirecting has just started to work. Let's see how long it will take before we see any change in the page rank.

Pizza a Domicilio, removed again from Google index?

I have no words, it seems that Google is making fun of me.
After two days of traffic (when I wrote "back into Google index"), now there isn't anymore.

But what really makes me upset is the fact that even Google seems not to be aware of this.
Using "Webmaster Tools", section "Query stats" this is the supposed keyword average positioning of the last seven days:

But this is not true. Actually the first occurrence of "Pizza a Domicilio", displaying 100 results per page, is on the last one, the eight. This means that the true positioning is after the 700th.

Taking a train from Padova to Cornuda

The path is the same as the Cornuda-Padova, but this time top speed has been 113 km/h, 11 km/h less than a month ago.
Why? Because Trenitalia decided that since railtracks were too hot, train had to go slower.
If you have Google Earth, here's the kml file

To Lignano and back

This weekend I went with my friends to a camping in Lignano. During the travel I used my GPS logger to keep track of all the gas stations. I only had to add two of them:
