Nice.<br /><br />Exploring things a bit further showed that gmail uses frames, so you can use the url of the inner frame to bookmark contacts, labels, filters, searches or any other thing that does not have the "New Window" link. In Firefox, use the popup menu, and "This Frame > Open frame in new tab".<br /><br />Very handy for those of us that run our lifes in tiddlywikis.<br /><br />Of course, Google is perfectly free to change these misterious urls not likely intended for public consumption...-Xvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12954073038736466058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115644605833384138.post-23901244062432441772006-11-18T18:32:00.000+01:002006-11-18T21:44:44.180+01:00Unofficial PlanetIBM SearchIntroducing... the <a href="http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=001939661192509195071%3Atkhozjqigu8">Unofficial PlanetIBM Search</a>, based on <a href="http://google.com/coop/cse/overview">Google's Custom Search Engines</a> and on <a href="http://torrez.us/archives/2005/08/29/387">the unofficial list of IBM bloggers maintained by Elias Torres</a>. Search box in this blogs side bar.<br /><br />I've set everything by hand now, but it does not look very hard to script it now that I've learned a bit about Google's CSEs. Lots of things pending: write the scripts to automate the maintenance, get a semi-decent logo, give more weight to the official unofficial IBM voice (<a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/</a>, executives...), make visible what sites are searched and with what weigth (as now, everything in Elias list, with the same weight), check if I can get Google to be nice and avoid inserting ads from our competition in the results page...<br /><br />And, why? Because I think that it is a good thing to be able to search what IBMers have been writing outside the firewall. (And because the procastinator in me thought that this was far more interesting than completing two pending assignments that I have from two friends... <span style="font-size:78%;">Cris, Rodri, ahora me pongo, de verdad...</span>).<br /><br />It is often said that it is better to ask forgiveness than permission. (Wait! Don't let my kids know that I agree with this!). So, without being 100% sure about this being the right thing to do, here I go.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Update.</span> Re: reasons, permission and forgiveness. The main reason for doing this is shaking the tree and hoping that this can help to get in place sooner an official search, using IBM technology, a list of bloggers maintained officially, rss available on searches, no adds, nice integration with ibm.com... Based on what I experience in the IBM intranet, putting in place a proper solution should not be hard at all.-Xvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12954073038736466058noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115644605833384138.post-24699830816052533102006-11-17T12:00:00.000+01:002006-11-17T12:25:12.509+01:00Mozbot: google con esto y sin lo otroUn <a href="http://www.googlefight.com/">googlefight.com</a> tonto me ha llevado a tropezar con <a href="http://www.mozbot.com/">mozbot.com</a>, que añade y quita cosas a los resultados de una búsqueda de google. A veces es interesante excluir algún dominio de los resultados de la búsqueda, y mozbot lo hace muy simple. Otra cosa práctica es que, para cada resultado, puedes acceder a su historia en la máquina del tiempo (<a href="http://www.archive.org/">archive.org</a>) con un par de clics.-Xvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12954073038736466058noreply@blogger.com0
