I might as well complete my planned post about Google apps since a conversation is about to start.
I’ve been in the transition of using Google Apps for the last few weeks for a trial review. Next week I’ll need to decide whether to keep my apps account or stick with the free apps that I’m so dependent on. Since the my reasoning for using Google apps is solely based on my use of e-mail and the guaranteed uptime and support I can’t…
It makes me curious why Google Apps doesn’t allow for current gmail upgrades. Are the two services that different that they just couldn’t migrate my account? After my recent GMail outage I signed up for the free beta lasting until the end of this month and noticed all I could do was create an account with a domain. I used scatteredmedia.com and then added my gmail account so it will import all of the e-mails through POP, it’s still downloading them…
It’s been a long time since I used FeedLounge and I’m sad to see the doors closing. It was truely a great app, maybe not the best service but the functionality was everything you’d need out of an online RSS reader.
After hearing I commented on Alex’s site:
Sadly I think the only logical option would be to opensource the project. For everyone to use on their own server and help contribute to fix the bugs and increase the overall functionality. Then…
OpenDNS added shortcuts today. I’ve been an OpenDNS user for sometime and it’s an excellent service. I haven’t noticed any speed advantages from their caching but I’m glad that we’re safer with it blocking phishing sites, it also helps with some quick URI typos.
Setting up the shortcuts feature took 2 minutes. I just needed to setup an account and add my IP (which was already populated for me) then add a few shortcuts. Now instead of http://www.google.com/reader/view/ I can type gr or…
Update on hacking the TV, there is an extremely easy tutorial on how to get your apple TV to do just about anything I’d ever want from a media center. One awesome step is to replace frontrow with centerstage. Centerstage is an opensource application for digital media that will play just about every video format. Another great thing to hear is the enabling of quartz desktop to make the TV another computer.
Before anyone asks why choose TV when you could just buy a…
One of my tasks this week was to setup a web server for some sites currently hosted on the tragedy of the grid. I don’t want to talk about the (mt) grid since I’ve said so much about it before but to answer “why?” I’m still on the grid for production sites is, I’ve been too busy to migrate them and at one point I was going to put them on a spry VPS but my DB was too large for their…
Hearing so much about Twitter I had to make my own. Yes, it’s just another blog but it’s nice to update it via text message or IM. In contrast to another blog it requires me to be short, similar to another blog I know without the need to comment.
Being a quick thought or message from myself I thought it was more suitable in the header. I just hope it’s notible.
Jason seemed to jump on board only minutes after I signed up and…
After a positive post about the “community” of digg, I’d have to say that crashing down Yahoo!s new tool is just imature and gives digg a bad name. Yahoo! is stepping out there acknowledging that the model of user voting is the way to go in some sectors, this being cutomer service and the “community” goes ahead and posts a bunch of nasty 5th grade humor. That will show Yahoo! who started user polling to promote a submission, del.icio.us. When are you going…
Again Microsoft is making me break the law.
Microsoft has released a new EULA (End User License Agreement) that states that only certain versions of Vista – Business and Ultimate (and Enterprise for corporate customers) are eligible to be run in a virtual machine. The EULA says that Home Basic and Home Premium CANNOT be run in a virtual machine.
Here’s the tecnical legalese from the EULAs:
For Vista Home Basic and Home Premium Editions:
“USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may not use the…
I can’t believe this. Media Temple has really let me down in their performance and customer service. I had to call them in order for them to put my ticket in some kind of priority to be fixed, unless it was just a coincidence that 5 minutes after I called we’re back up.
They’re complaining/responding that it’s a wp issue,
It looks like the problem was your object cache.
