There is a solution for that. Start Google Desktop. Go to Desktop Preferences. Scroll down to ‘Don’t Search These Items’. The rest is fairly obvious. :-)

Well, ask me about it. My dad installed Google Desktop coz he has a lot of data on the computer. Too bad we share this ‘pc’. The search engine is a bit too powerful, when the keywords are even remotely similar the results include paragraphs and images from my hidden files, my password protected files, everythin i visited on the net, which includes my yahoo account and my blog. Presently, I’ve been removing results everytime I use the computer. Does anyone have a better solution?? I can’t uninstall it without givin explanations, in any case.

Nah, that is not the one, left there in July and never really had too much control over that one. There was constant bickering and clashes over the direction I wanted it to go in and the lords’ wishes.

Ah, yes- “The Product”. Saw something mentioned about ‘blogs on the papers website’ on CSF-II, I think.

I think the CNBC vs Profit was one of the last posts I read on your blog before a short hiatus. Resumed reading your blog only recently. :)

LOL, I guess I am just not famous enough be stalked/outed. Besides, I don’t run around wearing a tee saying “hi, I’m codelust”. But a fair percentage of my regular visitors (at least the ones I know personally) do know where I work, who I am etc.

That might change though when our product is finally launched, it will have a major blogging component and there I won’t be able to post under the codey thingie, so this is very much a shortlived joy.

Best was when someone posted an old blog comparison I’d done between CNBC and Profit in the internal mailing list and I had the widest grin on the face of the planet that day.

Rest has to do with my looking like a bumbling idiot who might not know the difference between Adam and Anton. I comfortably pass for a lost in the woods mallu. That works quite a bit to my advantage ;-)

CSF-II had some masala on CNBC, but I’m only interested in how my shares are doing. Just wondering - have you managed to stay anonymous all this time?

Colo manne colocated/colocation for the servers, basically bring your own box type of hosting, they’ll provide you power, bandwidth and rackspace.

Women, my dear friend, defy all classification ;-)

CNBC, well, will save those stories for some other time. I have a strict policy against putting up work gossip anywhere on the net, which is not already known.

Colos and kooda seemed to be jargon. Colos still does. :D

Management jargon is something I intend to get used to; used quite a bit of it until recently, though mostly in jest. I’m kinda addicted to CNBC, so I do use investment jargon sometimes. Ever classified women as high-risk/low-risk? Or (ahem!) waited for someone to bottom out (break up)?

No feminists here, thankfully. :P

Jargon, where, where? You should never meet me in real. I speak a weird combination of business, tech and editorial speak these days, mangling my angrezi beyond compare. My vocab is littered with stuff like low-intensity effort and high maintenance activity, even when I am discussing something as mundane as keeping the larder stocked at home.
