I am a regular reader of news.yc and like most people using that site, I wanted to be able to search the site. Since the site does not have an inbuilt search functionality, I created yc.news search here.
Just like in SansJ, one can use the search plugin (FF and IE7 only) and search from their browsers search bar. Also, existing users of SansJ will be able to login with their current SansJ usernames and passsword.
My search site can be accessed at SansJ.com.I have also created a what-is-SansJ-kinda page here: SansJ Wiki. I intend to write about SansJ and the latest development happening at SansJ in that part of the site.
Also, was successfully able to implement a SansJ search plugin for Firefox 2.0 and IE7(haven’t tested in IE7 as yet).If you would like to create a opensearch plugin, please do visit this site:

Further info on SansJ, you can spread the word about SansJ to your friends by going here: http://sansj.com/refer.php , much appreciated if you manage to do that! Also check this interview that appeared on Wired with Eric Schmidt here: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/news/2007/04/mag_schmidt_trans .He talks about how Search is the main focus for Google and how every other product of Google revolves around search. A very insightful article and a very insightful person!
and had been reading Jonathan Franzen’s - How to be alone (after 2 years of reading it for the first time), I am blown over by the guys linguistic capabilities and also the way he so well puts into words the logic/rationality behind it.
That’s it for now!

Over the past few months, I have been working on a concept that was in my mind for quite a while. I wanted to combine a Forum, Search Engine and a Bookmarker, and ,I did.
A little intro on how the site works:
Search engines as they should be: powered by computers and rated by humans.This site allows you to:
1.Search the internet. (An example search would be “How to make cookies?”)
2.Rate the result.
3.Add comments about the site that u got in the results.
You do need to login to the site, so you can signup for a free account at
http://trk7.com/ask/signup.php
or for the next couple of days you can use the test account:
username: blogger
password: blog
and login here: http://trk7.com/ask/index.php
I am limiting the number of signups, for the moment, so be quick!This is my first major project, so expect some quirks!Looking forward to ur feedbacks.
Might b watching the davinci Code this weekend.
Bittorrent is hugely popular with me and my friends.I guess a lot of people use torrents.It’s creator used to live like this:
First he lived off savings from the handful of jobs he’d worked during the bubble. When that ran out, he lived off credit cards, following a rigid system for applying for and transferring debt to 0% introductory-rate cards.
according to this article , Interesting read!I have been trying to do this (transferring balance from one credit card to another) with mild success.
and this is his (Bram Cohen’s) blog.I was running out of blogs to read and have a new one now!
