			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent Google search for <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=view+headers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">view headers</a> was a little suprising, not one page had any of the familiar snippets.</p>

<p>But if you <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=view+headers&#038;filter=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">repeat the search with the omitted results included</a> all the snippets return&#8230;</p>

<p>(Your mileage may vary depending on browser, whether you are logged into a Google account or not and which data center you get)</p>
<p><b>Update</b><br />Looks like things have updated at Google as trying this again a few hours later I get the correct results complete with snippets and the logo of the day (Evard Munch birthday logo)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I dealt with a query that nearly made me bang my head against the wall:</p>
<p>Driver: Hi. Errrr&#8230; you sent me a speeding fine notification<br />Me: Yup.<br />Driver: But I was only doing 53mph in a 40mph&#8230;.They can&#8217;t do me for that can they?<br />Me: Yes, it&#8217;s THE LAW. Speed limits are legally enforcable and if they catch you on camera they get you for it&#8230;..</p>
<p>Cue discussion about how much the fine is and how many penalty points he&#8217;ll get on his licence.  He could barely believe he&#8217;d get points let alone a fine for breaking the law. Some people are just too stupid to be let loose on the roads&#8230;..</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=17&#038;art_id=29110&#038;sid=10312234&#038;con_type=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Google bought YouTube for $1.6 billion today.</a>  (The service will now only be referred to as GooTube around these parts)<br />My friend and I often discussed YouTube and how it could possibly make any money.  We came to the following conclusions several months ago:<br />* It was started to host videos of people lighting their farts. And<br />* the only way it could make money would be to be bought out by another company such as Google.</p>
<p>How accurate can you be&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Talking of Google, I was doing a search at work and decided to use Google&#8217;s cache feature to help me find the relevant info faster only to get myself presented with a huge warning screen informing me that the site I had tried to access was blocked and my details logged.  Cue a mispelling of a url shortly after and MSN search tied to kick in (not by my choice) and again! Another warning screen!  I totalled 4 in 5 minutes.<br />Of course I phoned tech support&#8230;<br />Me: You&#8217;ve blocked Google Cache!<br />IT support: Yes.<br />Me: But that&#8217;s like tearing out half the pages of the dictionary and telling me to get on with it!<br />IT Support: Yes. Umm&#8230;Sorry?<br />Me: You&#8217;ve blocked Google Cache! I <b>use</b> that feature of the search engine.<br />IT Support: You could talk to your director(!) and ask for access&#8230;.</p>
<p>Turns out that their web filter is <br />a) shit<br />and<br />b) badly configured</p>
<p>so because people have been abusing these two issues they decided to make it block <b>everything</b> and unblock things on an &#8216;as asked by a director of the company&#8217; level.<br />It took them 2 weeks to issue me with a password to login to the system and 2 months to get back to me about accessing a shared folder I <b>urgently needed</b> for work. A &#8216;new starter&#8217; that&#8217;s been in the company for 6 weeks is <b>still</b> waiting for a PC to use&#8230;<br />I can tell you now that if I were to ever run that department they&#8217;d be <b>a lot</b> of changes and even a few sackings&#8230;</p>
