Irrelevant Ramblings

A look into the life of someone who is searching for everything without a map.

Thursday, March 27, 2003

Tonight's lecture was about web based systems (well.. the subject is)... quite interesting, like how search engines really work. The lecturer told us to try to put "the" into google and see how many hits you get. Its something like 30+ billion sites. This is because everyone has "the" on their pages somewhere, apart from non-english sites. So you basically have all the sites that they search.

Apart from that, just had lunch with Fel today, but she was in a bit of a rush as it takes her time to get to and from the city, and the usual Murphy's law of tram catching states that there are no trams when you need them and they all go in the opposite direction =)

Still working on some grad apps today, quite a few are due tomorrow so I have been busily filling those out. I hate those "why do you want to work for us" type of questions that you basically have to suck up to them in. Bleh.
