I get it, I get it…sometimes I’m slow that way.

And the long delay in posting a comment happens occasionally due to my blog being an add-on domain to my wife’s business standard type website which she maintains with MS Frontpage. Unfortunately WordPress and Frontpage tend to argue a lot. But Bluehost finally got around to upgrading the server our sites run on to all the newest stuff including PHP 5 so here’s hoping things will get a bit better.

On the trip, things look just a bit better…time will tell as always.

And I already left a comment on your WP.com blog.

Definitely we need the internet. That statement in my comment was more of a joke.

By “no notification”, I meant that- I couldn’t see my comment appear for at least a minute. Then I thought that it might be under moderation. But if it’s the latter, then we generally get some sort of a feedback saying so. I didn’t see anything on the screen; so I thought that my comment was lost.

I’m replying to the comment you left on my blog here- Unfortunately, I’m deleting that blog (in fact, I’ve already asked my web host to do it) because it’s taking too much of my time and I’m afraid, I should be concentrating on other things right now in my life. So, I imported the last few comments to my WP.com blog (you can find the link in my name).

But I appreciate all your help and I’m happy about the fact that I gained another blog friend in the process.

Hope your trip worked out well. Take care

What with my trip to the VA today and coming back to find out that my host was upgrading the server my site’s on, I finally get a chance to answer some comments here.

@Ruhi:
You know how people are. And remember how long Google kept Gmail in beta? In a private “by invite only” beta for that matter? I give Wikia Search 1 chance in 2. By the way, not to sure what you mean by “no notification”. And glad you like the about page. And the plugin page is generated by a…uh…plugin actually.

@Cat:
Realistically I have to agree with you. We don’t really need another search engine but that doesn’t mean I’m not curious to see how Wikia Search evolves and for how long. And yeah, Google’s always has stuff in beta. They’re also damn smart.

Do we need the Internet? Oh yeah! We need the Internet. Can you imagine how much crap those trouble making countries could cause and we wouldn’t know a thing about it until it was all over? And for some reason I just know I wouldn’t want to have to head to the local library to look up some trivial information they probably wouldn’t have anyway and even if they did, it would be guaranteed to be obsolete information. And let’s not forget about the fact we’d having to depend on the media and the idiot box for our news (ooogg!). Yup, we need the internet but like anything else, it can be used or abused and that comes from one idiot that hasn’t had any sort of cable, satellite or even an old style antennae hookup to his TV for well over ten years.

Feel free to disagree.

The one thing I’m not too sure about is what the point of yet another searchengine is. I mean I use Google as it’s so integrated with FF toolbar, gmail so I don’t consider usign another one. And what about all the other ones? Some people use nothing but the ‘Good Search engine’ which gives money to charity, some use Live search [too slow for me]; is there really space for yet another one?

I think the main thing that annoys me about Wikia is that, as far as I understand, it is build on the Wikipedia inbuild searchengine which is abysmal, doesn’t register things like spelling mistakes and is even picky with capitalisation.

So, no thanks from me.

And that’s in no way related to alpha/beta/whatever stage. Hell, I;m thinking Google products will be beta forever!
