The way to NOT advertise in RSS ![]() Here is your perfect example of why ads are bad in RSS. Note that the same ad repeated throughout feed, the ad seems 3 times bigger than the text for each entry (which results in a very very low signal to noise ratio), and it hogs screen space. BoingBoing does graphical ads like this one every 3 or 4 entries. While still big, graphical, and "noisey", I guess I can live with that. But this feed is overboard... |

Spotlight question I love spotlight. Love it. Well, except for the semi-crappy interface you get when you search, but that's not the point of this particular entry. I want to perform a search on for a particular search attribute, but i don't know what I want to search against when I define the query. What I mean here is that I know what type of thing I want to look for, but want the user to specify a value to search against. This is confusing, so I'll include a picture.
In this example, I want to search for Python files with a particular function. Except I want to be able to specify the function name interactively. If I specify it in the Python Function part of the query it will always look for that particular function, even though I may want to search for another function. Ideally I want to be able to specify that content from the Finder's search box gets used as the name of the Python Function I want to search for. I do not want to execute a Spotlight query for some stupid function name, have to edit the query, specify the function I want to search for, then have Spotlight reexecute the query. That could take like 5 minutes... and while it's faster than hunting manually, that's a stupid amount of time. So, does anyone know how to do what I'm after? |
