I’ve installed the ‘htdig’ search engine here now, and the search box on the right will use that instead of Google. The Google link worked well, but sometimes wouldn’t index Status-Q often enough, and would discard bits from time to time. I realised that I was having trouble searching for things and I’m supposed to know roughly what’s in here. I think the new one’s a big improvement.

Excellent New Scientist feature on Open Source ideas. [from John Naughton’s weblog]. I hadn’t come across the Wikipedia before. It’s rather good. Topics for discussion in your coffee break:
- We all know that you should take everything you read on the web with a pinch of salt, but we’re used to reading things in reference works and assuming they’re fairly authoritative. Does presenting information in that form make us more likely to believe it?
- Is an encyclopedia which anybody can update more or less likely to be ‘authoritative’?
