Microsoft released their GC patch to the JScript engine on automatic update, if you didn’t get it and ever use IE, even for testing, I recommend downloading it. See my post from March on the problems with IE6 GC.

Quake++
30 October 2007
Man, we just had the biggest quake I’ve experienced yet. 5.6 near San Jose less than 10 miles away. I’m working late in Mountain View, and the buildings are pretty good. Hope SF is ok…
Update: All is well. My colleagues who grew up on the west coast ensure me that its not worth worrying about until things start falling over and breaking.

My favourite feature: visible history means shareable searches.
Quake
20 July 2007
I’ve been living in the bay area for over 18-months now and so far haven’t noticed an earthquake. Last night I was woken up by my entire house shaking, for what seemed like a very long time. It turns out there was a magnitude 4.2 quake, last night in Oakland. I think the shake was amplified by being 3-stories up in a wooden building. Here’s hoping the "big-one" occurs after I’ve left the Bay Area — or when I’m on holiday.
McCain
8 May 2007
Last week US Presidential candidate John McCain appeared at Google. It was quite an interesting talk and being a bleeding-heart-European-liberal I was actually pleasantly surprised by some of his answers. What didn’t sit quite right with me was the religious rhetoric and his seemingly black-and-white distinction of good vs. evil. The race is already getting interesting, shame I don’t get a vote. Anyway, checkout the video on YouTube, I was sitting just behind the left mic.
GeoTrace

Post-Cinco-de-Mayo-tequilla-hangover == no skydiving. Instead I knocked together a little experiment for a geographical traceroute. Not polished or well coded.
