Bing, Twitter, and Google oh my

So, word on the net has it that you can now search Twitter tweets. How special is that.

Moments after I found this out... I could swear that Google decided to do the same darn thing.

While I'm not surprised by this action... I am amused that Google didn't announce that they had done it first. But leave it to Microsoft to try and wedge their feet into something where I don't believe they really belong.

Personally I think that Microsoft should leave the whole search thing to Google, Yahoo etc. They should just focus on what they do best... taking money from people and selling a sub-standard Operating System. (Wow, I sure do sound biased against them now don't I? Nah, not me!) :o)

I wonder if people will catch onto Bing... Google has become a household name and has been since 1999 ish. I know when I go to Google something... I use well Google. Even if I search something via Yahoo, or Msn (not very often mind you), I still call it googling.

Oh well, may the best *cough* Google *cough* search engine win.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Get Yesterday's Date

Here's an easy method to return yesterday's date: import java.time.LocalDateTime; public class DoIt { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime yesterday = LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(1); System.out.println(yesterday); } } As you can see it's quite straight forward and simple. You just minus the number of days you wish to get. You can do this on a LocalDate or a LocalDateTime object. From there you can do whatever you want with your past date.
