I've always loved myYahoo for it's configurability. I've loved the idea ever since I saw the BBCi TV site - sadly no longer running afaik. Then today I was looking at myWeb and found this site Google U.S. Government Search .

I love Yahoo!, but I think this configurability is really cool!!!

In the JE " Journal Protection in GreaseMonkey ." I wrote about this script which saves your JE's if you've previewed them once. When I went to edit it I noticed it was buggy - not the code mind you, the include page URLs didn't cover the pages the JE was posted to. That's fixed.

If you happen to remember/find it please post the link to me.

I've just written a Journal Protection script for GreaseMonkey. I had to after /. ate another of eno2001's JEs. I tested it with this JE, just to check that it works. And it looks like it does.

If anybody knows of a cool job, I might need to take it I'm a little poor...

I've been evicted for being one month behind in my rent, even though I told them I would be back from holiday to pay it. They thought I'd skipped the country leaving thousands of euro's worth of computer gear in my appartment...

Dear friends,

I know I should have posted far sooner, but with all the traveling about it was a little hard to find the time, in between all the fun, to complete more than a short mail to confirm I was alive. Now I have 3 hours for the Bus from Khajuraho to Satna to leave so I have time to send this mail.
