The Sifter

OK, so most of you know that I'm leaving but for those that didn't know - that's the reason I've been extremely quiet on the posting front lately.

And the fact that my farewell "week" as it's been referred to has been rather large. My poor girlfriend is going to pick me up from Heathrow and drive me straight to the Priory.

I mean, what sort of misguided logic states that it's a good idea to go on a 12-hour binge on a Sunday (just because you don't have to work on the Monday)?

I feel unusual. Luckily my partners in crime are feeling just as bad.

And work farewell is tomorrow night.

Will we never be set free?

As Mr Bryson would say, "I have a hangover you could sell to science".

But as I start to feel vaguely human again, my joy of computing has been replenished thanks to Google Desktop Search and their new gadget functionality.

We PC users now get all the fun that MacOS users have had for a while... it's just so damn cool.

I fully recommend everyone downloads it.

This is a great little tale of some guys buying an Apple laptop that was just far too cheap.
