- As certain divergency in different available search services (not just in mine) has been ongoing for some time now, I think it makes sense to choose a side here. My tools aren't (atleast not yet) not so much "just click submit button and find quickly what you looked for", but more like "build a search strategy and analyze findings yourself". I'm renaming top level name for these tools as Data calmers. I've also renamed all the invidual tools. Something like "news search" was a bit too general name.

- There are now 2 different nutritional database in use (in Nutrition tactian). Other one is the already familiar USDA, new one is finnish Fineli. However, right after saying this, I'm forced to add, that access to it is restricted for my personal use (single user license). Luckily I'm allowed to demo it, so you could see, that it really is there. Try Fineli-search using searchstring omena.

- There are now 5 different Searchplugins addable to your web browser's Search Bar. See front page.

- Feed rinser has new view mode, Index-mode. It let's you select a single feed and view that one only.

- Some pleminary tests have been made with Windows Vista Sidebar Gadgets. Basically I just wanted to get used to building such gadgets, read some documents, take a look at available methods and properties, etc. However, after tests I decided to not go further, and squeezed the functionality of test-gadget to something very simple. However, it was too simple, to be enough usefulness in it. Oh, well. At that point, I already knew what I wanted to know. Also, I'm looking forward to create Vista Sidebar Gadgets based on Microsoft's Silverlight, and not just basic HTML. It opens a lot more opportunities. As do many others, which I don't want disclose, yet.

- Nutrition tactian has been converted to Adobe AIR -version, too. It's a desktop application and can be used without opening your web browser. Available from front page.
