JustBlogIt

I posted a few entries today using JustBlogIt, a Firefox extension, and so far it works very well.

Windows XP install finally worked

New 120gb hard drive: $100 New drive cable: $19.00 Finally getting my son’s computer working again: Priceless What a painful journey.

Google’s Desktop Search Released

Quick update: I selected search in my task bar and it launched in Firefox. It also looks like it will index Outlook files as well. This is very cool. I just downloaded Google’s Desktop search tool and my drive is currently being indexed. I’ll give it a test drive a bit later. Battelle mentions that it is IE only, but…
