Google Desktop Search 02. Some Truths 03. Tip Of The Week --------------------------------------------------------------------- *01 Google Desktop Search If you're like me, you use your computer for many important tasks through out the day. All this use creates numerous files, word documents, e-mail, spreadsheets, bookmarks and web pages. The good news is that hard drives have become bigger and cheaper, so we can save all these files. With more files, finding that saved information from your computer becomes a harder task. Google has created a tool that allows you to perform a Google type search on your own personal computer. Using this tool will place the information you need within your reach and free you from manually organize your files, emails, and bookmarks. In addition, when you view a web page in Internet Explorer, Google Desktop Search "caches" the page so that you can later look at that same version of the page, even if the page has changed. Google Desktop Search organizes email search results into conversations, so that all email messages in the same thread are grouped into a single search result. In particular, the tool indexes the full text of: +Email within Outlook or Outlook Express +Microsoft Word, Excel & PowerPoint files +AOL Instant Messenger chats +Web pages viewed online in Internet Explorer + Saved HTML files saved +Plain text files It also indexes the text within the file names of image files (JPEG or GIF). File names of Adobe Acrobat PDF content and names of some other file types are also indexed. Full text indexing of information in these files is NOT done. It's important to note, that if you share your computer with others it will index all the files. This can make some files that are meant to be private open for all that use the computer to read. This tool needs Windows XP or Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and 500MB of space for indexing.

Never loan money on collateral that eats. There is a true story that relates to this statement. On 1976 my partner and I were in a bank in Houston, trying to borrow money to do house renovations. The bank president ushered us into his office, but quickly excused himself to take a call of some urgency. After a couple of minutes, he slammed down the phone, looked at us, red-faced, then apologized and explained. It seems that he, as a very new bank president, had just originated a loan to a guard dog operation, whose owner had a heat attack but was recovering. The problem was that no one, except the guy lying prostrate in the hospital, could even get close enough to feed them. Therefore he told us, with all due vehemence, "Never, ever loan money on collateral that eats." Some other thoughts - (you can fill in the rationale): +Rocks make good pets. They just need a little help to get them rolling. +Books never do anything useful unless they are opened. +Chickens and books lay, people lie. +Plants can also be good companions, but the conversations are generally one-sided. +What one does not understand he needs to learn. +Listening to crazy people can be very insightful. +Archimedes' principal probably didn't even graduate from high school. +A barometer has nothing to do with measuring the level of sound in a bar. Now I can go on forever like this, but we would love to have those reading this stuff to contribute some of their own articles.(Of course, we reserve the right to print it or not (or plagiarize it, if it's really good).
