75000 search queries
Yeah, I know that I should have posted more..Not much to say about it. My leg/spine isn't that great the last couple of weeks so I tried to leave the machine alone.
The wishlist is still growing and I must say that in my mind I already build the perfect tool.. Now I should get /take the time to actualy build it :-)
Yesterday the 75000th search query hit was made! Yes, I think it is great too!
In time I want to create a sortof stats page for the hits.. Would be fun to see on what day most people use it. But because the limited time this is also written in the wishlist.

Aurora
R. Cockman: "After a long spell of overcast weather, skies cleared just in time for us to catch the tail end of the auroral storms that had raged for a couple of days. Whilst we watched, we saw the Moon and Saturn rise majestically in conjunction in the NE amongst the stars of Gemini. An iridium flare appears in the first image."More here

a Forest
No, not that song from "the Cure" but a real forest!The lane that goes down to the lake...
a Woodcutter created a chair for gnomes
Another point of view...
Beta testing
I like to play with beta software.. The good thing is that you can see the improvements with every new version. Today I have tested some software a friend made. It is a handy tool for me to get a job quicker done. The fun part is that people keep suprising me with their inventions and how to overcome problems.As soon as an official beta or release is there I will let you know what it is all about..

Dont steal from him...
Sorry :-), Can you teach me how you created that?
When I was a deckhand
I didn't like this panormaIt meant a lot of trouble and work for us Deckhands, Bosuns, Mates and Captains. And yes Utterlyboring, Thats the time that you start to grab a lifeline and jacket without any order. With a good seagoing vessel it is the ride of your life.. With a crapy ship.. buy clean underwear!
Never underestimate the power of nature..

Linux on my Laptop
I recreated a perfect working windows laptop into a buggy Linux system!No sound, no pcmcia (no network). Lucky we have Floppy net!
Can't install the pcmcia driver cause we need to "make" it. Now I don't have the room to install the development kit so I can never "make" it work on the laptop. I think that really sucks!
But I love how it works and looks!
As you can see I am reading the Manuscript of the Hanseatic League on it :-)
"Retired Brigadier General Adam DePrince is reluctantly called out of retirement to combat an enemy he had helped to destroy years ago. Despite his protests, he agrees to help his old friend Admiral Hiram Johnson to stop the menacing Hanseatic League before it gathers steam once again."
Now I must say that I rather read a book from paper then read it on a computer..
Maybe I am not Nerdie/Geeky enough?

Nice goodies
Great work Outercourt: Find All Files/ Folders Named "X".I already have one on the wishlist :) Or should I name it to buglist absolongnamy?
GGSearch got
Gnomed at webattack with a rating!!I like that website..
As a software dude you can submit the software for free. They try it and if they like it.. Youre in! C|Net could/should learn from that! The best thing was this: if you write Webattack a question they respond! C|Net could also take a look at Tucows. I didn't pay them, I asked a question, both websites answered and updated my software profile!
Yes, really! It's possible!

OpenBeos?
Don't know what happend but it seems like the people at Bebits blow new life in BeOS again. A lot of new updates and upgrades of software is available and this is the wiki page about OpenBeOS at Bebits. Here you can find the website of OpenBeos. Yes, people are making an OpenOS of it. Good idea!I wonder if I should dust of my Pro version and put it on my machine again.... Just to get that thrill again..
Good Morning!
and I think it is a good morning.Yesterday was a hectic day. First I used groupmail pro the wrong way. It took my machine 8 hours to send out mail to everybody on my mailinglist. Then my mailbox got overloaded with emails bouncing back.. Now I couldn't get to it so I had to use webmail to clean it up again. Not funny at all. By the time I cleared that one up my webserver decided to give it up too. To many downloads at the same time.. Now lucky for me that my Hosting provider was awake and on the case.. So now it runs again...
I wait a few days to get some response from C|Net. If my message is not answered I am going to start a flame. I paid $78 to get in the listing and now I cant even change my information without having to pay again....
Anyway.. I write more about that later...

Go blogger!

Daily Archiving: In addition to monthly and weekly options.

Smoking news
Some insane political dudes wanted to ban smoking from pubs, cafes and Disco's in our country. But because the owners of those establishments talked with our government and claimed that they will loose a lot of customers, these dudes changed their silly minds.Now don't get me wrong, I am for a smoke free pub. Place a good ventilation system and start a law that controlling it so people can eat/ drink without having to sniff up my smoke. But a total smoking ban is stupid! Some people here tried to open a smoke free pub but because nobody went there is was closed very quick. I think you need more none smoking customers for that.
I do think that you should ban it from sport and government buildings. And I love to see a picture of a rotten lung on my tabaco package! That will teach me! "You see that rotten lung?", "That's your future..". Hey, didn't knew I got one.
Oh well.. I know I need to stop smoking.. One day I will learn!

Tom Clancy Might Have Something to Worry About.
Paul got his book: the hanseatic league reviewed.The Hanseatic League is the first in what I am hoping is a long series of Adam DePrince books. Paul Norwood has shown us he has got what it takes to spin a gripping tale. With more twist and turns than a North Carolina mountain back road, he will keep the reader on the edge of their seat. They will stay that way all the way to the end.
Once you have The Hanseatic League in your hands, you will want to cancel your plans, lock the door and unplug the phone. You are not going to want anything to bother you until you have finished. This reviewer loved the book and is left with only one question. Mr Norwood, what is next?

Shareware like Total Commander or Freeware GGSearch will then no longer be available.
