Today was a great day for my lenses! When they refreshed I had 4 in the top 1000, and one in the top 100!! Yesterday only 1 of these was in the top 1000, and 2 of them in the top 2000. Though going to see whether others were reporting such a shakeup of rankings on squidu, I found most people reporting slides the other way. Gil jumped in the thread to state - “…in the middle of some optimizations to minimize the effect that lensrank recalculation has on site performance every morning. It looks like there are a few minor bugs and I’m working to sort them out now.” So we expect things to return to normality tomorrow. Though it wasn’t surprising to see so many people up in arms about their lensrank falling, I guess people are just in the habit of chasing lensrank!
Then I got a real nice comment on my, currently, top lens about Green Computing, informing me that it was the featured lens over at the Giant Squidoo Community Showcase! My first ever award or acknowledgement for any of my lenses! I was over the moon about it!

barely had I posted this and I spotted that lensrank had been re-calculated again. Results show more of a normal postion for most of mine. I could get a little upset about losing the place in the top 100, but hey!

What a great day for you!
I think you should bottle that to take out on a gray winter day.:-)

Congratulations! Someday I would love to get one of my lens in the top 100
