Desktop search… so hot right now… Desktop search [Quoted from]

I started out with Lookout. Moved up to X1 (@ $99).

Now comes Copernic Desktop Search. I’ve installed it and it looks very nice I have to say. X1’s search is incredibly fast, but the user interface is awkward and slow. Now I’m torn yet again.

Of course Google is feverishly working on their product. [rumor]

This is why MS needs to step up and deliver something soon. I really dislike having all these competing choices where they all do stuff I like, but nobody does everything I want. I would rather Microsoft come up with a base product and let third parties enhance it to do specific stuff like fancy/specific interfaces, additional search filters etc.

I have Google gmail invites available. Use the contact link on the left navigation to request one (send me a current email address).

My fantasy football draft was last night. My first.

Of course half my team is either on their way to jail or injured. I had no idea what I was doing. Thank god for my cheat sheet. Thanks TJ!

I now present the starting lineup for the 2004 Justin Timberlakes.

Brady, Tom QB NE 
McNabb, Donovan QB PHI
Alexander, Shaun RB SEA
Griffin, Quentin RB DEN
Lewis, Jamal RB BAL
Smith, Jimmy WR JAC
Smith, Rod WR DEN
Smith, Steve WR CAR
Gates, Antonio TE SD
Shockey, Jeremy TE NYG 
Akers, David K PHI
Nedney, Joe K TEN
Panthers, D D CAR
Seahawks, D D SEA
Buccaneers, ST ST TB
Dolphins, ST ST MIA
Robinson, Marcus WR MIN  

See everyone else went with tough-sounding names meant to intimidate the other players. I’m going for the “make everyone as uncomfortable as possible” psyche out.  

UPDATE: Vinod wanted his teams image up here.

 The groin injuries.
