I'm currently wiping down my computer. I just found out about Google Code Search. As you can probably guess (OK, maybe not Tommy or Sherry), it's a search engine specifically tuned to find open source code. Cool enough.
But the thing that made me cream all over the keyboard was Google's decision to use regular expressions for their search string syntax. Good god. Does this mean that regular expressions are going to hit the mainstream? I hope so.
Imagine (Tommy and Sherry, you're exempt from this activity) how much more useful Google would be with regular expression capability.
Update 2006.10.09: All technology can be used for evil.
Every night I cry myself to sleep thinking of a world where google has regular expression capability. Oh sweet google.
ReplyDeleteThat's it, hide behind your veil of sarcasm, you technophobe.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a technophobe, when i look at porn online, i usually just jerk off to the source code.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the "evil" update. It's a sad fact of life that every time something is made for the good of humanity, there's always some asshole who comes along and thinks up some way to use it for evil. This only strengthens my argument of why socialism can't work.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to obtain permission to use a photo from your site in an educational book? I am a freelance photo researcher working on a book about environmental architecture, in search of a photo showing a covered walkway. Your photo would be great to show the editor. Please let me know. Thanks for your time.
