Sells-ing Out
Adam Kinney has a post
about Longhorn and XAML books in production. While I'm an O'Reilly fan, I
have way too many of their excellent Unix books, I've never been too taken
with the Windows selection. It looks like they are gearing up though with
two books written by Ian Griffiths and Chris Sells, two bloggers that
should be required reading. Nice move Tim!

UKLug -- Job Searches and RSS Feeds
A friend of mine runs the UKLug
website, an online search engine for jobs that allows you to 'subscribe' to
a search query. Every time your feed reader requests the contents the query
is re-run and the current results are passed down.
"Thats neat. Why is it getting mentioned here?" Well you highly focused individual it's being mentioned here for two reasons:
- Firstly it's a good site that deserves some coverage; even if it does look like Google.
- I'm writing some search tools/add-ins that work with it.
Over on the main site I'll be adding entries to both the Mycroft searches and IE Address-bar customisation pages. I may even be adding a new page for bookmarklets featuring a little snippet thats takes your Jobserve query and re-runs it against UKLug. This code snippet is based upon the querystrings used at each site, if these change i'll upload a new version on my site. For now the bookmarklet can be found here:
