We have just come back from the tip.
I dumped a load of old computers. If they had worked, then the combined computing power of them all would have been less than my 1GHz laptop. The monitor from my first ever PC was dumped too.
According to the BBC, " Sir Paul vows 'no Janet' repeat".
It's just a shame the Paul McCartney is too nice a guy to have not given a smart answer to the journalist who asked him that question in the first place.
So, as an experiment, I have edited the shell script that starts the daemon off, and taken out the --debug option. Best seems to run a lot faster now too. Lets see if it continues to eat up resources.
It takes a bit to install - you really need to go through the steps outlined in the wiki. But it does work quite well. It still is a bit ropey, and it can miss things out, but it is shaping up to be a very exciting product.
There are features I have not enabled yet, like the g-streaner stuff, and the network awareness (I think it will go and search Google for you). So far it can see my evolution stuff, and my aggregated news/blogs in liferia, my gaim chat logs, and my ordinary files. Somehow, it won't search my xchat logs, which is a real shame. Once I get the epiphany extensions compiled, then my browsing history and my bookmarks will be included too. I think it will soon be a really nice and useful desktop search tool.
What it did bring home to me, though, is how much of it I have forgotten. I didn't know much to start with, and it has nearly all gone now. It just goes to show how quickly you forget things if you do not make use of them.
I'm sure it won't stop those who still smoke on buses, and those who think it is their god given right to smoke wherever and whenever they please. I don't think that even lung cancer will stop them.
