I am sitting here in my office right now working with my old laptop on my lap, with my feet up working. Well, right now I am writing an entry here, but I was working until a few minutes ago. It is rather civilised working like that. I can think of worse things.

I mentioned a few days back that I had ordered a copy of The Italian Job (The NEW
version)… Well, it arrived today. I will see about watching it tonight… I will see how things go and what is on TV. At only $14 I think it was worth it.

WinGrep

Earlier today I was doing some programming, and needed to search some files for a specific word. I was seaching for ATON, and it is a function in ‘C’. Anyway I used windows search and I did not find a single entry. This was despite the fact that I had a file open in the directory and I could see the text in the file. I found this very strange, but this is not the first time. For some reason, the file search does not always seach all files, even if you tell it to.

So I downloaded a copy of WinGrep and it seemed to work really well. It was fast and also told me how many times the word appeared in each file, and listed just those lines too. I was impressed, and the software was free too…

Reading the SMH online I found a cute page. They have an Article where they have documented some of their ‘Column 8’ Columns where the Pope has been mentioned. Some are really quite funny.
