[TriLUG] Search Engine question

[William Sutton]

I worked for a company recently that decided they were going to write 
their own google.  They figured that the two programmers on staff* could 
do it in a matter of a couple months.  Then again, this is the same company 
that sent an email to the hundred odd employees trying to get them to 
google the company's latest offering in order to bubble it up in the pager 
rankings *smirk*
