Google Press Releases
Google Blogoscoped has some hilarious Google Headlines You Don’t Want to Read. My favourite is: April 21, 2006 Google No Longer Indexing Non-Adult Content; Larry Page: “We focus on the top 10 search words now”
Headhunters
Got my first call from a headhunter today. Not that I am inclined to change my job. But I wonder what took them so long? 🙂
Firefox Blues
For the third time now, my Firefox installation is more or less completely messed up. And every time now it had to do with extensions.

It's official now…
