Interesting article in LJ on federated search…short list announced for PM’s Literary Awards…the SLNSW has digitised some early accounts of Australian settlement including stuff by Tench…lifehacker mentioned cygwin, which I think I’d sort of heard of before but never tried. I’ve now installed it and it effectively gives me a unix shell in windows so I can access all my windows stuff with unix tools such as grep and vim. That will keep me happy mostly…until my work VPN s/w is compatible with firefox 3 at least.
