Strange Google Search Results

Flash Movie of Ann and Rachel

Fall in Dunwoody

Fall is in the air here in Dunwoody Georgia. Yesterday we started our first of many afternoons raking up leaves. Ann had a blast trudging through them once they were piled neatly in a row. We have been reading Winny The Poo to her at night and in one of the stories they are raking leaves. She is pretending to be Tigger by bouncing into the leaves and then throwing them up in the air. It is really fun to watch her play and interact with things now. She has such a great imagination. She is a good helper too. She has a yellow plastic rake which she was using to gather up leaves. Unfortunately she found it was easier to rake the leaves out of the pile I had just made rather than making a pile of her own! But all in all it was a fun day. The leaves are starting to get beautiful around here. Lots of reds, yellows, and orange.

Can’t Change my buddy icon in Trillian

I had a picture as a buddy icon and wanted to change it to reflect the change in the season but whenever I went to change it, it would go back to the old picture. I was able to turn it off but whenever I chose a new picture it would again go back to the old one. Here is what I did to fix that.
Navigate to C:\program files\trillian\default and look for a file called buddyicon. This won’t be the actual buddy icon but rather a file called buddyicon. Right click on the file and click on properties. Un-check the read only box and click ok. You will now be able to change your buddy icon.

Yahoo Site Explorer Adds Dynamic URL Rewriting Tool


Today comes a new dawn for search engines with the first-ever Beta launch of ‘Dynamic URL Rewriting’ in Site Explorer. The new feature provides the ability for site owners to alert Yahoo! of the dynamic parameters in URLs that they’d like Yahoo! to ignore, which we’ll then automatically rewrite accordingly. Try this out for all the cases where you’d want to use parameters in your URLs that don’t affect the content of your page, but that have other important uses.
