Ran across this on Yahoo! today. It’s the link for free search engine listings. I resubmitted my blog, because I don’t know if it has propogated on Yahoo yet. If you’re interested, check out: http://submit.search.yahoo.com/ (Note: This may require an account with Yahoo! to use.)

New MSN Search Technology Preview
All I can say is … So far so good. I’ve been pretty disappointed with Google’s results lately. Most queries end up with results that have been hijacked by search engine garbage … or are completely irrelevant. Microsoft seems to be doing pretty nicely with their new search technology. The queries I ran returned pertinant results… no search engine garbage. Google’s going to have a tough time if they don’t improve the quality of their search soon.

I love technology.
I’ve been a busy little worker bee at home. I setup an 802.11g wireless network at my house. The D-Link router I got is pretty nice. My whole property gets a pretty strong signal. I’m able to use my Dell Axim, desktop PC and Apple PowerBook on the network now… all at the same time. With almost no lag whatsoever. I love technology. I also installed an 8x DVD+-R/RW drive into my computer.

good lord, i’m tired…
i was at Linda’s house til past 11pm last night trying to restore her power mac g3 to working condition. i’m almost amazed that i was able to do it. it’s not often that you’re able to restore a hard drive to working order. i arrived at her house in edgefield just after 5pm. when i got there, she was obviously distraught. it seems like melt-downs like this always occur when you’re working hardest to meet a deadline. anyways, i tried booting up the mac. no dice. blinking folder icon. crap. diagnosis: something’s wrong with the system folder. next, i tried booting from the system disk. extension conflicts. double crap. what’s going on? at that point, i was a little perturbed, to say the least. i then tried to boot up from norton utilities. good lord, it worked. comp was booting up from that disk. comp fully boots up. i can see the hard drive Papa GIG (which has the system software on it.) good… the disk doesn’t appear to be damaged. i didn’t think the disk would appear at all if something major were wrong with. linda and i went through and checked to see if anything needed to be saved off of it. nope. good deal. i ran some tests on the drive with norton. found major errors. not surprising. fix the probs it found. then proceeded to zero the hard drive.
things were progressing well. installed os 9 onto the drive. i booted the hard drive on its own. yay!! it wasn’t completely screwed! i loaded the scsi drivers into the system folders in order to access Linda’s prized baby gig, momma gig and jarod hard drives. yay! they were still there, untouched. i loaded all of her old programs onto the reformatted hard drive (papa gig) and after a total of six hours i had the whole thing up and running again. i have to admit, it looked bleak when i first got there. i wasn’t sure if i’d be able to get it online again, but lo and behold i fixed it. the system still has some kinks in it because we weren’t able to test everything within the six hour period… but it is usable once again.
it is quite nice to be able to breathe life into a machine that seems like its teetering towards death’s door. hopefully it will behave itself for a good while.

Palm’s are Kewl!
This is my first entry to the website, prepped exclusively on my Palm m100. I tell ya, I really can’t imagine how I got along without one of these before. I feel like I’m more organized than ever before. Anyway, my meeting with the SGA Executive Council went remarkably well. They really love the concept I came up with. I’ll be finalizing the layouts through week’s end. Well, I gotta go. I shall update later!

it’s gonna be one of those days
great, now the internet is screwed up here at work. i hate peachnet. why must we be on a state-run pipeline? in case i hadn’t mentioned it before, the company i work for is located just outside of augusta technical college. actually, we’re in a building that is managed by atc, so technically, i guess you could say we’re on the campus of atc. anyways, i digress. because of that affiliation with the school, our building receives internet access from the state through the atc servers. usually, we get a pretty reliable signal. since yesterday afternoon though, it’s been unbearable. i’d rather have dialup right now. at least i could get some freaking work done. as a matter of fact, i’m typing this at work right now, but i probably won’t be able to upload it until later on tonight. sucks, huh? anyways, i’ll stop bitching. it’s not very becoming of me, is it? all i know is: if this isn’t fixed soon, i’m going home to get some work done. i can’t deal with this crap all day long.

Stupid Computer
for some reason or another, my internet at home went down last night. whether it was the result of my own tinkering with my computer, or a failure of the cable modem… i don’t know. what i do know is, on thursday i’ve got to chill at home all morning so a tech can come diagnose whatever the hell is wrong with my computer. i will post as often as i can from work, but i can’t make any promises over the next couple of days… it’s always easier to update this thing from home.
