Another blog bites the dust

I’ve been messing around lately with Google’s Search APIs including the Google Desktop Search (GDS) and Google Web Search (GWS).

This is part of some experimentations I’m performing in regards to productivity and search engine/applications.

I’ve wrapped both GDS and GWS APIs in a nice .NET assembly (source code in C#). Both of them have the same interface and can generate the result as a .NET DataSet, as an XMLDocument and return the raw format that is being returns from both GDS (string) and GWS (their result structure).

I just read here about the slow decline of Transmeta and its risk of closing its doors for good.

I first heard on Transmeta when the hype around Linus Torvalds’ decision to work there started. I checked their web site and continuously monitored their progress because I really thought they had something good going.

They actually innovated the industry and left their mark. You can see it in all the various power consumption technologies that all the big players (Intel, AMD and IBM) have produced since.

Hello.

My name is Eran Sandler and I’m a serial blog killer. (you should say “Hello Eran, we love you” at this point).

I create and kill blogs all the time but I do hope this blog will be different.

First of all, the blogger interface is much better than the last few places I’ve bloged before, so that will probably get me to write a little more.
