Apologies to the 9.00am people but I have a meeting at 8.30 and will be in it for an unknown length of time, so here is todays CCC.

There, that should keep you going for a bit.
Also, did you see the terrible weather we had this weekend! I was staying in Durham for the Tattoo (Military, not epidermic) and we were in Warm, Sunny conditions. 30 miles north people were being airlifted to safety and hauled out of their homes! To the west and south too.
I must have a weather imp in my pocket!

I voted you a one, just to see if a new record can't be set!
(Nothing personal this time)
But beware, Martin has been around for quite a while, I didn't see the post, but we all get something like that from time to time. Maybe it was his turn.

I am using Windows Search less and less....
In XP I stopped using it when the search companion cames in, just made everything worst..
In Vista, while I appreciate the quick name based search in the start menu and windows explorer, anything more advanced (which can be accessed trhourgh some lengthy manipulation of this and that) I just don't use them, too well hidden..
Anyway a colleague of mine is apparently usng them a lot, and curses a lot as well. I"m going back to XP, I'm going to buy a Mac, etc...
Now I was wondering, what does people think of the new Windows Search?
Microsoft is obviously proud of it. But what about the customers?
Me, I just don't use it, except for named based search.
It was easy in pre-search companion days to do a search based on file size or content for exemple but nowadays, I don't know, it's just so much less intuitive and straightforward.. what do you think?

You can turn off the animated companion in XP. I did that and search was far more bearable.
Search is one instance where I actually like Vista better.

If I wanted better search, I would install one of those Desktop search programs. Your friend wants to buy a Mac, because he didn't like Windows search? Good move.

Lengthy manipulation? I'd be shocked if you didn't know what the F3 key does.

Named based search? what's one of those?

I think he means searching only by name, as opposed to searching by other attributes (date modified, size, etc). If you've never wanted to find that document that you saved from your mailbox last night but don't remember what it was called, fine.
Cheers, Vıkram.

See, exatly what I'm talking about, how would I know?
OK, now I know and that's cool!
But think of the poor end user!

For exemple to find all file named "*.cs" it's easy, just type in the search box .cs, other than that, you have to know black magic, such as the "F3" incantation!

Yes, that's right. google are marketing their new browser. Only, when they do it, I presume it's not evil.

What the heck is a JavaScript benchmark and why should I care? Pop-ups pop up 100x faster under Chrome?

Important for web-apps. More than a few people these days spend a lot of time in their browser using web-apps. Not just the web 2.0 crowd but intranet and enterprise web-apps too. Faster, more robust JavaScript processes will help people get work done.

Amusingly, you're using a web app to discuss your feelings on the subject.
