Google trumps Flock (well, at least for me)!

As I posted earlier, I had this idea about bookmarks that are searchable using Google. Well, they've implemented it if you have personalised search enabled. There is a new link at the bottom to a bookmarklet for easily adding a bookmark within your Google account. Like del.icio.us, but searchable with Google. Cool! (I did, by the way, tell Google about this idea. I'd love to know if that had an influence...)

What's not so cool is that they still want me to enter some information (labels etc.) when adding a bookmark. That really sucks. I don't want to categorize. That's the whole point when I am able to search through my bookmarks' contents. Maybe I'll manage to create a bookmarklet that adds a bookmark straight away.

Hi Peo
The way I see it, in Google Notebook, I can just leave the label empty. No need to enter any more information. Of course you'll have the text "Empty note" above. But that is no Problem for me.

Well, yes, but that still means I have to go to the notebook, click on "Add note" and on "Save". I would prefer a single click (like starring something).

Threaded chat article and demo

While nothing major, managing threaded conversations in chat has bothered me for quite a while. Yesterday I had an idea on how to improve matters: Works using existing chat infrastructure. Needs only augmented clients. Plays well even if other party uses a non-thread aware chat tool. Separates threads automatically based on interaction patterns. I've written an article and have created an online demo about it. Discussion welcome.

Access 2003 and the DCOM Server Process Launcher

Here's a hint: Don't disable the "DCOM Server Process Launcher" service on XP SP2. It may look like one heck of a vulnerability when you really don't use DCOM at all, but, unfortunately, Microsoft Access 2003 does. It will simply open an instant message box stating "A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control." if the service is not running.
