Jaime Teevan: In defense of Re-Search

[Mike Oltmans <moltmans@>]

I was fascinated yesterday to find a great thesis defense about some 
really great search technology.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the 
reference to it again.  Yesterday I searched for thesis defense and I 
found exactly what I was looking for and I went straight to the talk. 
Now today I searched for the same thing and I went up to the 4th floor, 
where my search results directed me, but all I found was an empty room 
full of water and only half of a ceiling.  I continued wandering around 
the 4th floor and I found what I know was the room, because after I 
walked into it, my head started spinning and I felt sick to my stomach. 
 But alas this was not the same defense.

Then I found this amazing re-search engine that, contrary to they way it 
sounds did not produce research for me, but it did help me rerun my old 
search and get the same results back again.  After running it on my old 
query my faucet flows with beer, time stops while I sleep, there is no 
more famine, war, unhappiness, or any other bad thingies.  No, where was 
that GSB thing again?  I'm sure I used to know where it was... Come help 
me re-search for it at tonight's very special, celebration of Re-Search 
at...

          Once you are in 32, just take the G-elevator to the 9th
      floor and we will be in the lounge that you will be looking at
