QUOTE : give birth

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


You must give birth to your images.
They are the future waiting to be born...
Fear not the strangeness you feel.

The future must enter you
long before it happens.

Just wait for the birth,
for the hour of new clarity.


Rainier Maria Rilke
(4 December 1875 – 29 December 1926)

RILKE in the WIKIPEDIA !

QUOTE : with love in my heart

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


I will greet this day with love in my heart.

And how will I do this?
Henceforth will I look on all things with love
and I will be born again.

I will love the sun for it warms my bones;
yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.

I will love the light for it shows me the way;
yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.

I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart;
yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul.


I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due;
yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

This snow is very heavy and damaging for the plants.

I hope to be out for photos later, now it is six in the morning

The bamboo in the grove hang their heads soooo low !

And more snow in the forecast until tomorrow !

google desktop ...
big brother is watching

quote
Google Desktop is desktop search software made by Google for Mac OS X, Linux, and Microsoft Windows. The program allows text searches of a user's e-mails, computer files, music, photos.

File indexing
After initially installing Google Desktop, the software completes an indexing of all the files in the computer. After the initial indexing is completed, the software continues to index files as needed. Users can start searching for files immediately after installing the program. After performing searches, results can also be returned in an Internet browser on the Google Desktop Home Page much like the results for Google Web searches.

Security
In February 2007, Yair Amit, of Watchfire, found a series of vulnerabilities in Google Desktop that could allow a malicious individual to achieve not only remote, persistent access to sensitive data, but in some cases full system control as well.
The significant impact and the ease of exploitation forced Google to change some of Google Desktop's logic in Google Desktop version 5.
