For getting the Indie badge (I'm going to attempt it tomorrow), does it count if you use a custom search box on a site (eg WineHQ)? What about googlepages sites (I was thinking of making one, temporarily making it my homepage and putting, "don't visit google" on it)?

Edit: Oh and it says 24 hour period. does that mean like if I'm on for five hours it doesn't count (I'm pretty sure it doesn't)? And how exactly is it measured? like is it from my login time to the next day the same time? or midnight to midnight type of thing?

I think it's any 24 period in which you do not use Google...just pick any 24 hour interval and do not use the google.
I would honestly avoid any use of the goog at all...use Yahoo! Use Dogpile, whatever...
Do not use Blackle, after a page or two it switches to Google...

Enjoy!

I guess I'll completely avoid Google stuff then... And as for gmail, I've set up Thunderbird's IMAP to get gmail messages for me, so I'm good.
