I’ve been limping along with Lookout because it beats the pants off of Outlook’s built-in search (or, more appropriately, “blind grope in the dark”). But I’ve run into some conflicts with Lookout because you have to hack a bit to get it to work.

Fortunately, I just found out about a couple of modified .dlls you can load which do away with the need for “major” hacking and seem to work just fine.

If I can spare some time, I’ll probably take a look at Xobni, though Lookout has pretty much taken care of my needs up until now.

Been fighting network interference for weeks because of this.

A few years ago, the Florida was converted to an SSGN which means they removed the Trident missile capability and configured it with conventional missiles and support for special ops. Except for that whole “King’s Bay, GA,” thing, I’m pretty jealous.

This is a pretty sweet looking service. I’m still not ga-ga over the social web, but I wouldn’t mind following a few friends, so give a shout out if you’re on it (already found you, Nick) or heck, just subscribe to my feed and I’ll figure it out.

It also means that I’ve got time to check my feeds. Which means I’ve just read everything and now I don’t know what to do for the next six hours in my day.

Okay, I’m kidding, I still have plenty to do (Don’t worry about me, taxpayers!), but it’s such an odd feeling having no unread items. Maybe I should look for new feeds? After all, I do need fodder for my new link feed (I did mention my link feed, didn’t I?)

I’ve also added a link (finally) to Emmett’s blog and he has the starring role as my first linkee. (Thanks for the friendly elbow in the ribs, Emmett!)

Hopefully, that feed will update a little more often than the main one. There won’t be a particular theme. It will vary from geek to political to wtf - basically the same kind of stuff I post, only written by someone else.

I don’t have any pictures from today (yet), so here’s a couple of recent ones that are in my personal faves list.
