No comments · Posted by in Uncategorized
This feature seems new to me, Google seems to be testing an option to remove supplemental results, you may have noticed that many now give 404s. When you click it a yellow box pops up below (without refreshing the page) telling you it has been removed and there is an options showing this:
I noticed it on this search which I found on digg.
Official Google help on it can be found here!
Please tell me whether you people see the same options..

If you know me you probably already know about BugMeNot, but, just in case you don’t: it’s a brilliant idea. Its a database of ‘dummy’ usernames and passwords for irritating sites which force you to register to read their articles (or download stuff). And it even has a very convenient Firefox extension which fills in the form fields for you.

Public Domain Torrents is a great website which tracks torrents of public domain (uncopyrighted) films for you to download. They’re also conveniently encoded as PDA versions too! Something to occupy me on my next tube journey…

What is Public Domain?
Works become part of the public domain, meaning no longer OWNED by their creators, when they reach a certain age and/or when the original creator/owner does not renew their copyright.

I have a lot of material (essays, etc.) from school, currently clogging up my computer. Slashdoc is a brilliant website which allows you to share the fruits of your labour with the rest of the world incase they ever find them useful. It is searcheable with Google and it also provides you with an online store of your documents.

I have decided to enter the blogosphere in a minor way. This will be a place for me to air my grievances and revelations. If you know who I am, congratulations! If not then I’m sorry but I’m not telling you…
I’m paranoid you see…
This blog is powered by Drupal and is currently using a template, when I get round to it I may add stuff.
Update on 5 Apr 2006: Note that my blog now uses Wordpress and is pretty customised.
