    Google Desktop is here

    The newest, coolest, next big thing from Google: Google Desktop indexes your files, emails (Outlook and Outlook Express only though), MS Office documents, and AOL IM chat history. And it really does work and that so much better than the slow (accidentally hitting F3 is no fun) and lousy Search function that comes with Windows. Download it, install it, try it out and pull out the F3 key from your keyboard with your teaspoon.

    Oh, and if you're trying to hide bootleg software/music/porn in obscure locations, remember to tell Google Desktop "Don't Search These Items" so none of that comes up at the least opportune moments (like when your girlfriend is looking over your shoulder).

    Anyway want to organize a Singapore mozparty ? (Before you ask why don't I do it, let me say that I'm not the "planner" kind of person.)

    Dreamhost hosting at $0.77/month

    Update: Well, I am getting 10% referral credit from this and DreamHost has confirmed that we can keep that. Thanks everyone for the referral credit! I have $44.62 right now from referrals and am wondering what to do with the extra money. Ideas anyone?

    It's true. Dreamhost has real cheap hosting plans at USD0.77 per month. You have to pay for a year, but at USD9.24 with a free domain name, I'm surely not complaining.

    The first 777 customers to sign up for service with DreamHost using the promotional code "777" will pay just $0.77 for each month of hosting - for an entire YEAR! That's a $119.40 value - for just $9.24!

    I signed up almost immediately when I saw it (I put Daniel Glazman as my referrer because he recommended it first).

    On referrals though, it does say this:

    Referral credit will not be provided to referers of customers who sign up for this promotional sale.

    Anyway, if you do sign up, do put my ID, chuyeow, as the referrer - I suppose referral credit will accrue later when one signs up for other plans, if I read their rewards page correctly.

    Google does it again with Google SMS

    Google rolls out Google SMS in the US. Damn, this is too cool (especially if it stays free when it gets to Singapore).

    Right now, Google SMS only works in the U.S.
