what / about

If you cannot imagine life without Google Desktop anymore - I can’t, despite its outrageous disk space usage and stealth update policy - AND if you use more or less the same password for all less important stuff (online shopping, online newspapers, etc) AND if you tend to keep all your emails jealously only deleting the ones with large attachments when you get the dreaded ‘Administrator notice: your mailbox is over size limit’, then try to type in your password in GDesktop to see how many mails you’ve got which contain it. [breathe now] If you simply type in ‘password’ your may even gather more of them, with a bit of work.

However it is also a good solution to discover what you HAVE TO erase from your computer.

Less anecdotally one can wonder whether privacy issues can be handled by semantic Desktop Crawlers without dropping out simple (text, non annotated) formats.

Don’t forget to lock your computer and happy programming!
