Improving Windows searches with Indexing Options
0The Windows 7 omni-search-run bar is great at reducing icon clutter and much more, however when one has his own directory structure for applications, say c:\apps\dev, c:\apps\security, … Windows won’t automatically add those folders to its indexing plan. The other problem is locations like /Users and download dumps can create bogus results.
Here’s where Indexing Options show their strength. The Indexing Options FAQ at Microsoft’s website explains how to customize your search index.
Typing Indexing Options in the search bar should bring up the settings panel and after selecting “Modify” new location and exclusion rules can be set.
SSH Client for Windows & Aimp3
0Two quick app shout-outs.
My favourite OpenSSH implementation for Windows can be found at sourceforge. It’s the simplest and thus best ssh client for windows I’ve found.
Second shout-out goes to the developers of Aimp. Version 3′s looking awesome and the new skin’s nothing to scoff at either. RIP Winamp, you bloated relic of the past. More about Aimp3 at their official site.
MTS: Korean Films
0살인의 추억 (Memories of Murder)
iMDB | Wiki | RottenTomatoes
Genre: Drama, Mystery & Suspense, Satire
Cinema at its finest comes to live when a series of unprecedented sexually charged murders sweep through a Korean rural town in 1986, during a military dictatorship. The local police is inept at handling such a serious situation and when an agent from Seoul’s introduced to the mix, a serving of strong character development, suspense, comedy and drama grasps and doesn’t let go until the very end.
There’s also amazing camera work, the scenery’s great and the film portrays how an authoritarian system and the culture produced the crime.
추격자 (The Chaser)
iMDB | Wiki | RottenTomatoes
Genre: Drama, Action, Mystery & Suspense
A great serial killer thriller, blended with psyche-horror elements and a moral awakening element. The film focuses on the drama and suspense spectrum and leaves the action scenes as a means to an end, rather then play into the Hollywood narrative that lately focuses most of it’s thrillers on action scenes.
박쥐 (Thirst)
iMDB | Wiki | RottenTomatoes
Genre: Drama, Mystery
As vampire films go, this is simply unmissable. However even if one has no interest in the bloodsucking menace this film delivers on both raw lust and sexuality, with tremendous camera work, lead acting and elements of dark comedy. No sparkling here.
장화, 홍련 (A Tale of Two Sisters)
iMDB | Wiki | RottenTomatoes
Genre: Drama, Horror, Mystery
Who doesn’t love a good mindfuck horror mystery? 장화, 홍련 is also full of symbolism, supernatural and psychological horror and put over the top with great directing and acting. A well packaged deal that shouldn’t go unnoticed and the 2009 Hollywood remake pales in comparison.
