Google has arrived to the desktop. Arriving yesterday, the Google Desktop Search (beta) tool can be now be downloaded (www.desktop.google.com). This tool can search email from Outlook; files in TXT, HTML, DOC, XLS, and PPT formats; and even cashed versions of web pages you visited earlier that day (IE only).

I’ve been using Google’s Gmail service since April and love the way it searches and organizes my email. I can only hope that Google Desktop Search will prove just as effective.

Thank you Google.

I had a pretty good weekend. On Thursday and Friday, I went to the FINA swimming championships. The US won most events.

On Saturday I attended Dan Doherty’s wedding. Dan’s a member of Lambda Chi Alpha’s staff.

And on Sunday, Joe Klimek and I had box seats at the Colts game. All you can eat, drink, and watch on multiple TVs is the way to watch a football game. And if it’s a free ticket from a vendor, even better.

Today is the last day of employment for Earl Brown, the Peace Corps country director in Guyana. Guyana Peace Corps volunteers rejoice.

Earl Brown served as the Peace Corps Guyana dictator for two and a half years.

On a completely different topic, I’ve recently set up a web server at home. Three great tools helped make this happen.

The first would be my Linksys Wireless G router. This router offers a Dynamic DNS utility that keeps my ever-changing home IP address working.

The second tool would be The Saint TSW, a WAMP package that made it real easy to get up and running. It includes Apache, PHP, mySQL, and mail and FTP servers.

The last great tool is TightVNC, a virtual networking client. This tool gives me the ability to manage my computer remotely.

Though I haven’t played with it much yet, Mambo might beet them all as my favorite. A CMS, this open-source app might change the way I build websites.
