MSN Desktop Advanced Search To The Rescue#

I found myself in some trouble last week, because I didn't quite remember what I did in the first week of March - and the Powers That Be needed to know...

So one thumb up to myself for installing MSN Desktop Search, and two thumbs up for the Advanced Query capabilities of the product. It's a real lifesaver if you can just type "after:28/2/2005 before:5/3/2005" and get all the mails you sent and all the files you touched in a certain period of time!

It made the Powers That Be happy anyway (which in turn made me happy) so three thumbs up to them ;-)

That's why I keep a quite detailed log of everything I do for a customer... But sometimes it helps to look back at your mails and source control system ;-)

A couple of years ago, I thought that logging everything was overkill, but it turns out to be very useful in case "some" powers are bitching on time and budget ;-) If you flood them with details, they'll back up and leave you alone :-p.

This is my personal website, not my boss', not my mother's, and certainly not the pope's. My personal opinions may be irrelevant, inaccurate, boring or even plain wrong, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. But then again, you don't have to read them, I just hope you'll find something interesting here now and then. I'll certainly do my best. But if you don't like it, go read the pope's blog. I'm sure it's fascinating.
