This Sunday we hiked Mount Si (4 miles hike w/ 3700 foot vertical). Mount Si is an incredibly popular hike but we mixed things up by not arriving at the base until 4:30pm so when we arrived at the Summit we were one of the last groups on the hill. Minutes after heading back down it got incredibly dark and started to rain. |

Google Search Appliance (Oct 18 2004 23:53 GMT) - InfoWorld writes about Google's plans for the enterprise networks: "We want to index and allow users to search on the broadest set of enterprise documents, while retaining the simplicity of use that people have come to expect from Google," said Dave Girouard, Google's enterprise general manager. That means turning the Search Appliance from a tool that today is primarily used to index and search intranets and external company Web sites to a tool with a much broader reach into enterprise data sources, he said. While Girouard declined to specify the data sources the Search Appliance might support, he said the product at some point could be extended to tap enterprise databases, desktop PCs, content management systems and CRM (customer relationship management) applications. Extending the Search Appliance in this manner "makes more than perfect sense" because most enterprise data resides in a variety of formats that aren't Web-accessible, said Whit Andrews, a Gartner Inc. |

A major design goof-up (Oct 18 2004 23:45 GMT) - Yesterday I saw the new iMac G5 for the first time in real life (rather than on pictures). I must honestly say that I have never been this underwhelmed by computer design since Apple stopped making beige boxes. Often when Apple announced a new product and I saw the pictures, I wasn't sure if I liked the design, but whenever I saw the actual computer, I liked it immediately. This time, I thought the iMac G5 looked really gorgeous on the pictures, but boy is it ugly in real life. It's basically a thick, plump blob of white plastic. |

Putting the apparatus of repression into place (Oct 18 2004 23:39 GMT) - The European Court has dispelled any residual doubt that it is little more than a politically motivated tool of the European Commission and continues its slow but steady construction of the means to make investigative journalism impossible in Brussels by ruling that Belgian police could seize Hans-Martin Tillack's computers and records to identify his sources regarding reports on EU corruption. The Euro-court has made little attempt to hide that is has colluded with EU political... |

Will Robots Kill Joy of Browsing? (Oct 18 2004 23:33 GMT) - Some faculty at the University of British Columbia are concerned with a new storage system the school's library is planning. The system will use a robotic crane to retrieve books; students will be able to browse book lists, but they won't be able to wander along pulling and flipping through books.This worries Max Cameron, a UBC political science professor and the chair of the Faculty of Arts library advisory committee. He is concerned library users won’t be able to find important materials if they can’t physically browse the shelves. |
