Lookin' Back
Just came across notes on Jeremy Allaire's site about an interview last year with Sergey Brin of some company called Google.
Will Google provide a desktop utility -- e.g. index/search my drive?
He says no, it's not a core competency and no one has ever made it work that well.
Ya got to wonder where the boundry between "seeing into the future" and plain old luck crosses - "Google Desktop Search is currently indexing". Ya!
Also been reading a book about Jim Clark (new new thing) - led me to look at the old Mosaic web page at http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/mosaic-w/
Didn't know at the time he was a BIG boat fan which at least explains the Ship Steering Wheel on the original Netscape Navigator browser.
Read about the numerous companies he tried to create, some sucessful, others not. What's he doing now?
