I just uninstalled Google Desktop. I installed it on my home machine after its release a couple of weeks ago. Granted, that machine has only been on an hour or so each day, but Google Desktop was still indexing, and was causing weird problems … typically after sleeping the machine and waking up again, something wouldn’t be right. Apps would slow to a crawl, XCode refused to complete a build and then wouldn’t quit, my system user account prefs were trashed … not cool. It’s like the indexer held onto a file lock and wouldn’t give it up again after waking up. I don’t know.

Anyway, between Spotlight and Quicksilver (especially with its Web Search module … holy crap!), I don’t really see what Google Desktop was offering me.

Seriously, Quicksilver never fails to impress me.

My hosting company is carbon-neutral. Yay Dreamhost! Occasionally beleaguered*, often maligned, but I maintain, nonetheless, in the face of everything, a darn nifty hosting company.

Someday this kind of thing won’t be trendy and marketing-driven, but taken for granted. I hope.

Rubber-necking: FOX News.com: Did the Devil Make Him Do It?.

Now, read that bit of “news” and imagine that it’s being presented by Daily Show correspondent Rob Riggle.

It works, doesn’t it? “Could Cho have been possessed … by … the Devil?” It works!
