I've been playing with another search engine which I find suits my "looking things up" habits a bit better than google.

I tried out duckduckgo a couple of times, liked it, and then drifted back to using the search engine provided by my browser's taskbar: namely, Google. I should fix that.

Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I've added to my Firefox taskbar :-)

There should be a link at the bottom of your duckgo page which says "use duck duck go with $BROWSER" where the browser id has been pulled from your HTTP request. Click it, and it should sort you out.

I spent today looking up bumble bee species. Now I know how to identify them on the lavender.

All I need now is a good plant identification key thing to satisfy my "what is that yellow/blue/red flower" requirement.
