Spy Journal 3.0 Filtering the web for you

Ergo is a very sexy search interface. Think smoothly flying out folders (reminsicent of an old CD juke box flipping the CDs (I was an 80s teen!) and nice mind mapping techniques for organising related search results.

It links into Vista's existing indexed folders and searches them and redisplays the results in a very cool connected way - far more intuitive than Vista's built in search. Only problem was I couldn't open any Office 2007 document that it found. Weird. I have registered my problem with them and hope they can fix it or tell me what I am doing wrong.

Last week Drupal 6.3 Beta was announced along with the statement that Drupal Version 6 would be released in a week or so. Look for an announcement later this week or next week.

I haven't bothered testing the betas but as soon as version 65 is released for real I will get a copy isntalled on a test dserver for a play. There are some particularly nice features in this new release. Heres a list:

Installer

The new Drupal 6 experience starts with the installer, which has been
drastically improved. It now guides you through the initial setup
steps, so starting a new Drupal site is significantly easier.
Configuration parameters that used to be all over the place are now
prompted for during the install so there are fewer steps necessary to
get the site configured.

I just created this really cool montage of my kids after importing images from Flickr.
