This month is stair month…

Everyone in our team is taking the stairs all month. Now to most people this seems a little bit of a push, especially when we are often going from L2 to L6.

However it all started with one of the ladies at wwork saying that she was not taking the lift. So Jo and I (who always take the staris normally) announced we would do it if everyone else in the team did.

So reluctantly everyone agreed…

They still havn’t worked out that they were set up!

Anyway, onto the geeky bit of todays update… I found this in my travels around the net tonight.

“This simple tip should help to speed up your PC by switching off the Windows XP Indexing Service. This runs in the background constantly checking through the folders and files on your drives to maintain an up to date index of its contents, it keeps the CPU busy and uses up a fair amount of hard disc space. You probably won’t miss it, unless you make a lot of use of the advanced Search facilities but even if you do I’ll show you another neat trick in a moment that will allow you to make use of the Index file already stored on your PC. All you have to do is switch indexing back on every so often to refresh the list. But first here’s how to switch it off. Open My Computer, right click on your primary drive (you can do the others later) then select Properties and the General tab and uncheck ‘Allow the Indexing Service to index this disk…’ Click OK, select the All files and folders and files option and leave it to get on with it for a couple of minutes. Back now to making use of an existing Indexing Service file, If you want to find something in a hurry go to Search on the Start menu as usual and in the box ‘A word or phase in the file;’ prefix your search term with an exclamation mark ‘!’ and watch it fly!”
