Google theories

So I have a theory, based upon the phrase "If you build it, they will come".

If you search for it, it will exist.

I base this on the fact that web pages in Google either exist, or will do shortly afterwards... Do Google have an army of monkeys watching for failed searches and go out and create content just so next time they can fulfill your search ??

The corollary to this is there is the Heisenberg uncertainty principal to consider and sometimes that wins :-)

MF Bliki: ImplicitInterfaceImplementation

MF Bliki: ImplicitInterfaceImplementation

So Martin Fowler sounds like he's talking about C++ templates ability to have compile time polymorphism, combined with concepts and we could be cooking on gas as they used to say round here...

Kind of makes a nice change to find something C++ already has being on the 'nice to have list' :-)

Podcast overdoses ...

Having just received one of those new fangled iPods one has to wonder if it is possible to overdose on podcasts, so far I've well over 30 subscriptions, and including the back dated shows I'm over 3 days of listening.

Lucky for me a large amount of this has been listened to during my commute to and from work.

On the downside, I wish iTunes would allow CDs to be encoded as a single track with cues corresponding to the index and track markers, linking in the CDDB data for the CD, oh yeah on Windows...

The second down side has to be that I can't use my machine at work to synchronise my podcast subscriptions as well as at home...
