If you would like some uplifting news to brighten up your day, and if you are yet to see the video of Susan Boyle singing on You Tube – you might want to check this out. And the video here, which is quite simply wonderful. In a matter of days, it has been viewed thousands of times across the world.

In other news, as I logged on to my computer today, I was greeted by the news that Jeeves, our resident butler, is returning to the Ask search engine. Although, it seems, it’s only in the UK.

Reading the story made me realise two things. First of all, that I never really knew that Jeeves had gone. I didn’t use Ask, and even though, on occasions, I saw it, and saw that Jeeves wasn’t there on the webpage anymore, I still thought of it as Ask Jeeves, rather than just Ask.

Secondly, having a know-it-all butler at your fingertips feels a little like being Bruce Wayne, or something. It’s a great idea for a search engine.

According to the article, I wasn’t the only one that still associated Ask with Ask Jeeves. In fact, the vast majority were in the same boat.

So, the man is back. And although I probably still won’t use him very much, something about it feels good. Natural, almost. Welcome back, Jeeves!
