[07:13] <sagaci> head_victim, ping
[07:19] <blahdeblah> Hi folks, is tracker the preferred free equivalent to Google Desktop now that the latter has been discontinued?
[07:38] <head_victim> sagaci: pong
[07:39] <md_5> google desktop?
[07:39] <blahdeblah> md_5: It indexes the contents of files and lets you search them quickly
[07:40] <md_5> oh
[07:40] <md_5> I remember that
[07:40] <md_5> windows vista and 7 do it now anyway
[07:40] <blahdeblah> yeah - that's why Google dropped it
[07:40] <blahdeblah> Until it stopped supporting Firefox and Thunderbird, it was a kick-butt solution for Linux.
[07:40] <md_5> ah
[07:41] <blahdeblah> But i'm installing a new laptop and Google Desktop is not available, so i'm looking for an alternative.
[07:41] <md_5> find -name
[07:43] <md_5> yeah tracker
[07:43] <blahdeblah> md_5: *contents*, not name, and *pre-indexed*, not sit around waiting while it trawls through 300 GB of my crap
[08:22] <sagaci> head_victim, guess so but I'm glad that the journalist did a bit of her own research... never thought I'd see Ubuntu, let alone the keyword "debian" in the local paper
[08:23] <head_victim> Any publicity is good publicity :)
[08:24] <sagaci> yeah, the article kinda sums up what I'd say to a random anyway so hits two goals
[11:36] <twitchie> boo!
[11:38] <jea> hello
[11:48]  * twitchie waves
[13:21] <twitchie> so quite 
[13:22] <sagaci> quite 
[13:23] <twitchie> yes but I'm quite discombobulated 
[13:24] <twitchie> see what i did there .. *hint nudge wink*
[13:24]  * twitchie licks sagaci
