I’m currently evaluating Google Desktop. And I must say so far I’m fairly impressed… There’s little things like opening up the corresponding email in Outlook 2000 which blow me over. The install hasn’t affected performance. But this is only day 2… I’m going see how it goes for the next couple of weeks.
some good points in this list of typical mistakes:

yesterday evening I started playing around with some WordPress plugins I’d found.
I made a small code change in wp-config.php. Everything was working fine… I thought. But this morning I got this error message (please skip the next paragraph if you’re a wp/PHP geek, you’re probably going to throw your hands up in utter exasperation and unsubscribe from my RSS feed for ever and ever and ever):
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/chiperon/public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php:65) in /home/chiperon/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php on line 247″

This Day displays old postings I’ve made on the same day in previous years. That’s a bit of a lottery for my readers… ‘cos the old postings will only be visible on days where I’ve posted something in the past.
I’ve started reading the book “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” and, I think, my continuous use of “…” would be listed as an example of bad, bad punctuation!

It’s a bad time to start a company
Software development magazines are losing ground compared to blogs, wikis… See Eric Sink’s post:
For a while it was fashionable to predict that the Web would eliminate publishing, or at least that it would eliminate magazine publishing. Ten years later, most of these pubs are still around. But there is obviously some truth here. Today’s developer-focused magazines are looking very sickly indeed. The health of a magazine is very closely correlated with its page count.
I also like the straightforward articles on marketing: Marketing for Geeks

completely missed this:
coComment is a Swisscom spin-off… based in Bern.
I’m planning to purchase a notebook in the very near future. It should:
I’ve browsed thru a couple of Linux laptop pages:
There’s tonnes of information out here… and I need help on the specs. Esp. with graphic cards and processors.
I guess, one way is to take my live CD and test my way thru…
What is your experience? Appreciate any help you can provide
