Google Hack: overriding word breaks

Recently, while working on an Inno installer project, I grew frustrated at Google for returning many "...in no..." results while searching for the string "inno". The solution to override word breaks in Google is to add a preceeding "+" (e.g. +Inno). Not sure why but I thought it was cool I actually received a response from Google:

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your note. To help "force" a particular search term, you can include a + symbol in front of the word or words you're searching for. For example, a search for [ +inno ] returns the following search results:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=%2Binno&btnG=Search

For additional tips, please see http://www.google.com/help/refinesearch.html or check out http://www.google.com/help/operators.html. If you'd like a little guidance, try searching from our Advanced Search page: http://www.google.com/advanced_search

Regards,
The Google Team

Hi, I'm trying to search on the word inno but it returns results 'in no'.
Enclosing in quotes doesn't seem to help. Suggestions?

Thanks.

Starting a New Blog with my Cousin

On 9/15/2006, my cousin (he's really a 2nd cousin many times removed...I'm not convinced we're actually related ;-) John Ingrisano and I will launch a new blog targeted to the small business owner. He'll provide most of the content and I will provide the technical and marketing expertise. Ok, ok, starting a blog isn't rocket science but we're aiming to [eventually] derive some sort of profit from this venture, so I plan on doing this right. The two blogs I currently maintain live on the free Blogger.com and LiveJournal.com. I'll be covering the adventure here on Effective Thoughts--providing insight as to what worked and what didn't. To start off, our first activities are: Choose a name and a theme Find a host Help John learn the ins and outs of blogging Implement the site: look/feel, about/bio, 1st content, announcements, etc. Understand marketing best practices To this end, here is some research I compiled: Finding a host http://en...

Switching the Parents to Ubuntu...?

I spent a half hour or so recently on the phone walking my Mom through a technical issue. Tentatively, I diagnosed her issue as a hard drive failure. She brought it over on her last visit and sure enough, the Dell XPS 450 from circa 1999 sounds like a bad coin-operated laundry at full capacity. I was aghast to discover she's running Windows 98. Ugh. Also, her recovery disk is just that--for recovery. I don't believe I'll be able to re-install Win98 on a new hard drive. That, coupled with the end of Microsoft (and Dell) support for Win98, got me thinking about Linux. (and she's not intense about her computing needs...and she doesn't want to spend much money...) I've been reading good things about switching one's parents to Ubuntu. Any thoughts out there?
