Living in Gworld

Dan asked me to post an update as I explore deeper into the Google forest. I'm now fully committed to Gmail and Google Calendar (why isn't it GCalendar?) and Outlook is now purely an evil tolerated for work purposes only. And with Rob Howard's tweet this morning about Google Apps for business...

More Gmail

My daughter thinks it's funny when I talk about Gmail - she says it sounds like "super hero mail". I am of course ok with that. I've been using it more and more recently. I've been sucking in my personal email to Gmail for a month or so and reading it there. When I went on vacation...

Big surprise, you can't use Firefox

I went to renew my Microsoft Partner Program membership today before it runs out at the end of the month. For a few hundred bucks I get 10 copies of XP and Office to use around the house - there are other benefits, but that alone makes me renew each year. This year, something is different. I'm now...

Great PR from Code Spaces

Ok, I ought to give credit where it's due because you won't find this great example of "how to do PR properly" unless you're searching the site. Floyd Price of Code Spaces posted a comment on an old Subversion post and did a great job of answering my pointed questions. I haven't...

Running with CallingID

This experiment is facinating . I now have CA's version of CallingID toolbat in FF/IE and it is really interesting to watch. The big names are obviously all green, but some very well known sites are yellow. Most small sites are yellow, but some are red. Red causes all sorts of traffic to leave immediately...

Sorry, that's TOO secure a password

I was offered a free year of credit monitoring a.k.a Identity Theft Protection with Equifax, so I signed up today. If you're ever going to use a super-strong password I suggest Equifax is the place. So I made up a nice strong one; mixtures of upper and lower case, numbers, punctuation. Nice. Except...

Is it still duplicate content with "noindex"?

A good few years ago I started another company to run some local city websites . At one point I had created a few thousand city sites and was making some decent coin from selling ads to local businesses. The idea didn't scale unfortunately - although I could easily sell enough ads to make a good...

Yahoo! Mail API and Unlimited Storage

Jeremy Zawodny posted about Yahoo! opening up their email to be unlimited storage, and their new Mail API's. Definitely expect one of my upcoming projects to involve this. It's mind boggling the different ways you could think to use these. Hmmmm...
