Re: [P1mpage] rack you brains
I think you missed out that extra tag in the subject line simon. bad si. al ps and yes, it's all done in 4 lines. Yahoo Europe recently launched a complete redesign (with masterminding, machination and studly coding by at least two london.pm members - one of whom recoded part of the search engine so that it simultaneously searched, solved an arbitary n-dminsion moebius maze and was also formatted to look like a squirrel playing a banjo [0]) Of the many cool features (well, I think they're cool. Please leave any Google 0wnZ! Y4h00! is d4 sUXz arguments firmly out of the way) one of them, Direct Display, allows us to inline relevant things at the top of the page. For example a Currency Converter http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search/ukie?p=currency+converter ... Sports News ... http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search/ukie?p=manchester+united And my favourite ... http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search/ukie?p=cal http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search/ukie?p=cal+08+2003 I'm thinking of doing a link to search.cpan and maybe a cow say feature http://www.nog.net/~tony/warez/cowsay.shtml http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue67/orr.html Anybody else got any bright ideas? Simon [0] may not *actually* have happened. Although I can see Alex's face and the ObFu part of his brain is starting to throb in a worryingly I've just had an idea way. -- stay up late ... if we want to
