New Google toy: search your desktop looks pretty interesting to me. It will search Outlook emails, Word documents and so on. A first salvo by Google to take on WinFX?

Comments on how well it works? I would try it, but I doubt it works on Linux…

Mostly pretty good news.

• Tab for library added, no code behind it yet though
  
• Improvements to gstreamer data implementation, need to figure out useful data for library.
  
• Seek bar that reflects position, but you can’t use to seek.
  
• Expander to show/hide tabs.
  
• Repeat function.
  
• Playing crashes at end of a song freezes when you double click to choose a song doesn’t pause properly seems to work!
  
• Completed conversion to Glade, now using Glade completely and adding features.

To remove fear that my digital camera would not work in Linux which was expressed by some (=p), my current a previous screenshot shows the extremely difficult process I have to use to import photos. In summary, it is something like:

1. Plug in camera, switch on camera
   
2. Click Import Photos on my desktop
   
3. Click the Import button
   

Step 1 is probably the most difficult bit — as the cable is always lost somewhere under the paper on my desk. I’m not sure how this process differs from Windows, probably not by much (Steps 2 and 3 I’m thinking about here, rather than the finding of the cable!).

Note : if you want to join the bluefunk hackers drop me an email. Project will probably be on sf.net when it’s nice enough.

So, we’re being taught Evolutionary Computing by a Creationist. Ironic, huh?

Seems kind of weird; but that is probably due to my complete disbelief in creationism rather than any real reason!
