Queen Elizabeth at Google

Whilst the majority of the Royal Family are a bunch of useless hangers on with nothing more to add to my life than an empy jar of Marmite, it was nice to see Google UK putting a special front page together for HRH's visit to their offices today.

 

Prince Charles I can live without and ditto for his mistress-cum-wife Camzilla

Diana's boys seem to be decent lads - and once HRH shuffles off this mortal coil I hope Charlie The Tree Hugger will swerve his "duty" and hand over to William.

Whilst the idea of a UK Republic has its attractions I don't really beleive it will ever happen and even if it did I don't see any way that our current political system would give us figurehead that carried any weight or power.

I am not particularly a royallist (note the small 'r') but neither am I a Republican. Somewhere in between if that's possible.

Nested Labels in Google Reader

I've just realised something about gMail which might be something new but it's new for me - hence this post.

Set up a new label in gMail such as Music / Amplifico or Tech / TWiT
Then look at the Label List - you'll see a wee cross next to the top level label. Click it. And presto! The second level label appears.

Now add a secondary label such as Music / Hollow Horse or Tech / Dvorak. You'll see each of these are now "nested" out of the Music or Tech labels. Neat huh?


If this is new or not spotted before then yay me. Otherwise just put it down to age. A senior moment! lolz.

Cuill / Cuil - naaah (not quite so) rubbish...

Interestingly I've done a new "vanity" search on Cuill and got a new results (see below post)

Cuill / Cuil - naaah rubbish...

I just tried out the new search engine, Cuill at www.cuil.com (pronounced "cool" or, in American "coo-il".

Anyway, it doesn't matter how it's pronounced one, it's rubbish.

I searched for "parkylondon" - that'll be me then! - of course you do a vanity search first!!!

Google: 16,600 responses for parkylondon
Cuil: nil. none. nada, zero, zip.




I know vanity searches are, well, vain but it's a good test. Cuil? Fail.
