2009-10-04T21:23:29+02:00

Look, you're at the right place now. I am sure you have realized that each person with a heartbeat has been putting up so called review sites for Bloggers Payback. The common thing you will have noticed between all of these sites is they try to do one thing and just 1 thing, and that is sell you Bloggers Payback. I am not going to be that guy that insults your intelligence. Instead I'm going to give you a straight review of what I've found when it comes to Bloggers Payback and what it's features. I'm going to tell you what it has got to offer and how it would help you. Creator Jason Gazaway has commented that Bloggers Payback will be released on 20 October 2009. Now the sole part I am going to allow myself to get a little biased is when it comes to Gazaway. At the end of 2007 he sold his online business for a 7-figure sum and left the internet promoting community completely. Later 2008 he came back and about six months later he was making a 5-figure revenue every month thru blogging. He actually is the original bloggin millionaire and when he speaks I listen. That's where Bloggers Payback comes into action. Are you wanting to understand what Bloggers Payback is? And how it will benefit you? I've been going back and forith through emails with Jason himself and I'll keep you recent with all the latest info about Bloggers Payback. What i do know by this time is that he basically sat down and just dumped his entire load of information into Bloggers Payback to bring you his complete million dollar blogging strategies and methods. A few of his methods are quite debatable but then again, so if having a multi-million dollar blogging business. Obviously there are quite some other products out there today about blogging, but from the early drafts I saw this is like nothing I've ever seen before... As time draws closer to launch and Jason lets me in on more of the million buck methods inside Bloggers Payback, I am going to keep you up to date.

Bijobee gets better every day

2009-07-21T08:55:00+02:00

Greetings from Bijobee HQ. I’ve been up most of the night working on what needs to happen next but what’s happened so far is pretty cool. Have you seen our site? Pretty cool, eh? I love that we use Google and make it so much better. The latest thing I did was look for good, small hotels in Alacante in Spain by having my search results come back in Spanish and designating .es, the country domain for Spain. No Hiltons or Marriots here; I found what I was looking for in one go, small pensiones with great food.The other think I did was look up chocolate for some nutritional info and instead of getting pages of dross from Sees Candies and Godiva I chose my results to show nothing but .gov sites and the search brought back lots of good info. Did you know that in chocolate, more cocoa means higher antioxidant capacity? Blog soon, bijobee

Google Chrome - The features that really made me love it

2008-09-05T19:20:00+02:00

The Chrome hype is already building up now, thanks to the 'G' string prepended. I have actually shoved Firefox aside in favor of Google chrome (though I am pretty sure I am gonna go back some time later).The features/traits I loved about Chrome: 1. Extremely quick startup time - even beats IE 2. Drag and Drop file upload - wow what a relief!!! 3. Clean clutterfree UI 4. Most visited pages thumbnails on the startup page 5. Application shortcut creation e.g. Now Gmail has its own shortcut on the desktopThings that I hated: 1. No Google Toolbar! What the bloody hell??? Google Chrome without Google Toolbar?? Above all, when I hit toolbar.google.com, it asks me to get Firefox! 2. A dedicated status bar is missing.I guess the likes are more than the dislikes I could summon. I will want to stick to Chrome for some time.Jeez I am glad I am in WindowsForms development, otherwise now developing Chrome loving websites is another headache! By the way did they create their own rendering engine or used/stole from Gecko?09/05/2008 02:30

The Chrome -- Unmistakably Google

2008-09-03T16:12:12+02:00

It was probably the shortest announcement for a new web browser in recent years. I heard about it from a Code Project newsletter last September 2, and just two days later, a beta version is already up for download! And just in case you, my dear reader, are among those few who weren’t able to catch up with the latest internet news, I am talking here about the Google Chrome—the latest browser to hit the world wide web and join the web browser wars.

Due to the less-than-the-usual amount of fanfare that the release of Google Chrome Beta acquired, I almost forgot that the software is ready for download today. Good thing, I am fond of reading YM status messages while “thinking”, allowing me to chance upon the status message of Roda announcing that Google Chrome is great. (I don’t know if she was just being sarcastic or what?) So I downloaded it at around 1 PM (RP Time). And when the browser started running on my desktop, all I was able to say was that the thing is…

Unmistakably Google

Compare Google with other search sites, or Gmail with other web-based email applications, or even GTalk with other chat applications. More often than not, the web apps created by Google turns out to have the simplest design, yet performs the best. That’s also how I would describe Google Chrome’s position in the browser wars—it has the simplest design, yet… it’s just too early to say how it would perform against the others. :p It looks like a bare-basic web browser, sans the browser tabs, but it does seem to offer more than that. I can’t really say; after all, I have only been using the Chrome for around four hours, and I was just too busy this afternoon to navigate through all the features that the app has to offer.

Features

In the few hours that I was using the Chrome browser, and in the fewer minutes that I was able to surf through its functionalities, I was able to find these few features worth mentioning:

Weird tabs – instead of the usual downward position of tabs below the address bar, Google Chrome tabs are set upright on the topmost part of the browser, above the address bar.

Secret window – or what most of the IE8 testers refer to as “porn” mode browser. Like the InPrivate feature available in IE8 beta, Chrome’s secret window allows you to browse in private—which means no browsing history, no search history, and no way for the next browser user to tell if you were watching porn or not!

Speed Dial (?) – or it may be another thing entirely different. Either way, it looks very much like the speed dial available for Opera browsers, although I haven’t tried using the feature yet.

“Intelligent” address bar– which Google calls the “omnibox". The feature is nothing new to Firefox 3.0 users, but it is still good to know that Google Chrome also shares the feature.

These are but a few of the features that the new Google Chrome Beta has to offer. I wasn’t able tinker much with the app due to time constraints and language difficulties (translate: failure to read instructions in a Japanese OS). For more of the new features available for the Google web browser, just visit the Google blog; or better yet, download a Google Chrome Beta copy of your own here.

When some people are 19 years old, they drink / eat / smoke / sleep too much; when I was 19 years old, I :1. Allowed a teen literary magazine that had published a (ba-a-ad) short story I wrote to reprint the story for a book collection and not pay me any royalties; 2. Published my college creative writing portfolio as a short story collection through a vanity press that was allowing employees of the chain bookstore at which I worked to publish for free as long as we talked the press up to customers; 3. Tried to establish an Internet presence in order to sell the above book; 4. Won 7th place in a vanity-press-promoting writing magazine's playwriting contest.Before I started my Ph.D. program, I wrote a letter to the vanity publisher asking them to discontinue the book; they sent me back a letter informing me that they had. The book is still listed as for sale with several online booksellers, however, and this suggests to me that the publisher might be still willing to print a copy for those willing to pay (including my friend G., who last year ordered a copy solely for the purpose of taunting me; unfortunately, my attempt to feed the book to his cat failed miserably). And it's EVERYWHERE. This concludes reason #8,756 why young, naive, "Yay, I'm a WRITER!"s shouldn't fall for vanity publishing schemes. Also, this serves as reason #4,922 why we need a web service called "Eraseyourpast.net."And reason #885 why the laws of physics need to be changed so that a 28-year-old Ph.D. candidate can punch her 19-year-old self in the face.

Scheduling & Tracking with Google Calendar

2008-08-16T19:00:18+02:00

To simplify and to organize—that is, according to Google, the very reason why we should use Google Calendar. It’s schedule organization made easy, and I’m a believer!

I have been tinkering with Google Calendar for quite some time now, using it to remind me of project deadlines, appointments, birthdays and all. And yes, it made scheduling quite easier and simpler for me. Scheduling appointments at a mouse click—none could be easier. Another plus is that the application is web-based. So wherever I am, as long as I have a computer and an internet connection, I would be reminded that I have a JLPT internal exam this coming Thursday! Now, that’s the bad part of it. Hehe.

But I have been using Google Calendar in more ways than the people behind the app must have planned me (and you) to use it. Aside from using it to organize my schedule, I have also been using the web-app to track my schedule. Here’s how I do it.

I am actually using the Google Calendar to organize my project schedule. So from our project’s WBS, I transfer the schedule of all the work assigned to me into the Google Calendar. Specifically, I would input the work item for a particular day on one of the calendar’s “column headers”—the “All Day Event” section of the calendar app if viewed by week. This part of the calendar would then remind me of everything that must be done for a particular day.

So what about those parts of the calendar (in Week view) that are subdivided in 30 minutes interval? Do I do anything with them?

Of course! Those will just be wasted space if I don’t use them. I actually use those spaces for two things. First, I use them for timed appointments—meetings, reviews, classes and all other items whose specific time of occurrence is already pre-determined. Then for those spaces not yet occupied by these pre-determined and pre-timed activities, I use them to plot a work item’s implementation outlook. So if I have, say, testing and code revision as work items for the day, I may plot the outlook for testing from 8:00 in the morning until 12 noon, and code revision for the rest of the day.

Now, for the schedule tracking part, here’s how I do it. At the end of the day, or as soon after a work item has been completed, I would re-plot the position and the span of the work item on the calendar. This is made easy by Google, since you can re-position an item or lengthen its time span by a simple click and drag action. ~~And since I can’t explain it well in words, I’ll leave you to experiment with its implementation. Hehe.~~ And should there be an additional activity that must be done aside from those listed on my work items, I can simply click on the specified time and input the name of the activity and its span of time. So if I’ve decided that it’s important for me to go to the CR and stay in there for thirty minutes midway my 8 to 12 testing schedule, I can do so and just add that item on the calendar later. :D

Well, that’s about it for my personalized use of Google Calendar. Using it for schedule organization helped me a lot in getting the important things done. Using it for schedule tracking, on the other hand, helped me analyze my work productivity and made SQA reports on Mondays a lot easier to prepare. :D

How about you? Got some planning and scheduling hack that you may want to share? Again, the comments section is all yours.

PageRank 4

2008-04-19T16:25:00+02:00

A long, long time ago, in a blog seldom visited by anybody but me (or so I thought), a girl named Geek posted on its chat box, congratulating the blog owner for reaching PR4. Had it been any other person, the blog owner would have jumped for joy and treated his friends and officemates at Dad's, Saisaki, Kamayan for an eat-all-you can dinner. Sadly, the name of the blog owner is Amiel (which is synonymous to kuripot). And one more thing, he does not know what PR4 means!

Then, one day...

Tama na! Hindi ko kayang panindigan yung fairy tale style of writing!

Anyway, all I am going to talk about in this post is the PR4 rank of this blog. Hehe. Well, I was once proud of it, thinking that rank 0 is the lowest and rank 5 is the highest. I thought my blog was ranking well, only to discover later that the highest is 10 and mine has not even reached the halfway mark!

But what is a PR ranking, and why is it so important that I'm so willing to dedicate a space for it here in my blog? Actually, the ranking is not so important to me. All it gives me is the chance to tease my friends because mine is higher than their blog's PR. Hehe. But the ranking seems important for those who are blogging for cash. Maybe, they use it as a gauge to know how popular their blog or website is.

PR stands for PageRank. And according to Wikipedia, it is a link analysis algorithm for measuring the relative importance of an element within a set. If that definition is too mathematical for you, allow me to try to explain it in a much easier way in the next paragraphs. But if you want to discover what kind of algorithm it is and how it is computed, you're welcome to search for it on Wikipedia. Your author here is not that good mathematically to understand all those notations posted on the site.

So, how does Google PageRank work for simple bloggers like you and me? According to the same Wikipedia page that I have been talking about, PageRank rates your site based on links. I don't know how it works exactly, but the number of links to your site makes your rank higher. Not only that, it also "weighs" the site that links to your site. If the site that links to yours is ranked as "important", then the value of the link also becomes higher.

So how did I get a PR4 while some of my blogger friends are cursing Google for getting a zero? I really don't know. Probably because of my friends' sites that have better rankings. Or maybe because of the links from Technorati, or from Blogspirit each time I update this blog. Or probably because I'm just plain good at this thing. Haha. Pakibasa naman hanggang matapos... huwag na mainis or magalit.

Is a higher PageRank important for your site? I really don't know. But just like a medal that you can display on your blog or website, it's better if you can have a rank that you can be proud of. It probably is important for people taking blogging seriously or as a source of income. But for this blog that contains nothing but rants and blabbing, it probably won't mean much. But I am still displaying it on my sidebar. It looks good, if you'll ask me. And should it drop down to a zero ranking later, I can just delete it :p

Happy 1 April !

what is google adsense

2008-01-31T09:03:16+01:00

Google AdSense, commonly just AdSense, is an ad serving program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image and, more recently, video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-impressions basis. Google is also currently beta-testing a cost-per-action based service.OverviewGoogle uses its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.Currently, AdSense uses JavaScript code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating site. If it is included on a site which has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, it will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes known as public service announcements (PSAs). (The Mediabot is a separate crawler from the Googlebot that maintains Google's search index.)Many sites use AdSense to monetize their content and some webmasters work hard to maximize their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways: 1. They use a wide range of traffic generating techniques including but not limited to online advertising. 2. They build valuable content on their sites which attracts AdSense ads which pay out the most when they get clicked. 3. They use copy on their websites that encourage clicks on ads. Note that Google prohibits people from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. Phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements".The source of all AdSense income is the AdWords program which in turn has a complex pricing model based on a Vickrey second price auction, in that it commands an advertiser to submit a sealed bid (not observable by competitors). Additionally, for any given click received, advertisers only pay one bid increment above the second-highest bid.[edit] HistoryThe underlying technology behind AdSense was derived originally from WordNet, Simpli (a company started by the founder of Wordnet, George A. Miller) and a number of professors and graduate students from Brown University, including James A. Anderson, Jeff Stibel and Steve Reiss.[1] A variation of this technology utilizing Wordnet was developed by Oingo, a small search engine company based in Santa Monica founded in 1998.[2] [3] Oingo changed its name to Applied Semantics in 2001,[4] which was then bought by Google for $102 million in April 2003.[5][edit] AdSense for feedsIn May 2005, Google unveiled AdSense for feeds, a version of AdSense that runs on RSS and Atom feeds that have more than 100 active subscribers. According to the Official Google Blog, "advertisers have their ads placed in the most appropriate feed articles; publishers are paid for their original content; readers see relevant advertising — and in the long run, more quality feeds to choose from".[6]AdSense for feeds works by inserting images into a feed. When the image is displayed by the reader/browser, Google writes the ad content into the image that it returns. The ad content is chosen based on the content of the feed surrounding the image. When the user clicks the image, he or she is redirected to the advertiser's site in the same way as regular AdSense ads.[edit] AdSense for searchA companion to the regular AdSense program, AdSense for search lets website owners place Google search boxes on their pages. When a user searches the web or the site with the search box, Google shares any ad revenue it makes from those searches with the site owner. However the publisher is paid only if the ads on the page are clicked: Adsense does not pay publishers for mere searches.[edit] XHTML CompatibilityAs of September 2007, the HTML code for the AdSense search box does not validate as XHTML, and does not follow modern principles of website design: * non-standard closing tags such as and * the boolean (minimized) attribute checked rather than checked="checked" * presentational attributes other than id, class, or style, such as bgcolor and align * a table structure used for purely presentational (non-tabular) purposes * the font tagIn addition, the AdSense ad units use the document.write() Javascript code, which does not work in browsers when rendered with the application/xhtml+xml MIME Type. The units also use the HTML tag, which is not validated correctly with the Strict or Traditional doctypes.The terms of the AdSense program forbid their affiliates from modifying the code, thus preventing these participants from having validated XHTML websites.[edit] How AdSense works * In order to put ads on a web page, the webmaster inserts JavaScript code into the page. * Each time a page with an AdSense tag is visited, the JavaScript creates an iframe and sets its "src" attribute to the page's URL. * For contextual advertisements, Google's servers use a cache of the page to determine a set of high-value keywords. If keywords have been cached already, ads are served for those keywords based on the AdWords bidding system. More details are described in the AdSense patent. * For site-targeted ads, the advertiser chooses the page(s) to display ads on and pays based on CPM (cost-per-thousand-impressions, or the price advertisers choose to pay for every thousand ads displayed).[7] [8] * For referrals, Google adds money to the advertiser's account when visitors either download the referred software or subscribe to the referred service.[9] * Search ads are added to the list of results after a user preforms a search. * Since the JavaScript is sent to the web browser when the page is requested, it is possible for other site owners to copy the JavaScript into their own web pages. To protect against this type of fraud, AdSense customers can specify the pages on which ads should be shown. AdSense then ignores clicks from pages other than those specified.[edit] AbuseSome webmasters create sites tailored to lure searchers from Google and other engines onto their AdSense site to make money from clicks. These "zombie" sites often contain nothing but a large amount of interconnected, automated content (e.g.: A directory with content from the Open Directory Project, or scraper sites relying on RSS feeds for content). Possibly the most popular form of such "AdSense farms" are splogs ("spam blogs"), which are centered around known high-paying keywords. Many of these sites use content from other web sites, such as Wikipedia, to attract visitors. These and related approaches are considered to be search engine spam and can be reported to Google.MFA (Made For AdSense) is a site or page with little or no content, but filled with advertisements so users have no choice but to click on ads. Such pages were tolerated in the past, but due to complaints Google now disables such accounts.There have also been reports of Trojans engineered to produce fake Google ads that are formatted to look like legitimate ones. The Trojan Horse apparently downloads itself onto an unsuspecting computer through a web page and then replaces the original ads with its own set of malicious ads.[10][edit] CriticismDue to concerns about click-fraud, Google AdSense has been criticized by some search engine optimization firms as a large source of what Google calls "invalid clicks" in which one company clicks on a rival's search engine ads to drive up its costs.[11] Some publishers that have been blocked by Google complain that little justification or transparency was provided. Webmasters who publish AdSense can receive a lifelong ban without justification.[citation needed] Google claims they cannot "disclose any specific details" on fraudulent clicks since it may reveal the nature of their proprietary click-fraud monitoring system.[12]To help prevent click-fraud, AdSense publishers can choose from a number of click-tracking programs. These programs will display detailed information about the visitors who click on the AdSense advertisements. Publishers can use this to determine if they have been a victim of click-fraud or not. There are a number of commercial tracking scripts available for purchase.The payment terms for webmasters have also been criticized.[13] Google withholds payment until an account reaches US$100,[14] but many small content providers require a long time – years in many cases – to build up this much AdSense revenue. These pending payments are recorded on Google's balance sheet as "accrued revenue share".[15] At the close of its 2006 fiscal year, the sum of all these small debts amounted to a little over $370 million, cash that Google is able to invest but which effectively belongs to webmasters. However, Google will pay all earned revenue, even if smaller than $100, when the AdSense account is closed.Google recently came under fire when the official Google AdSense Blog showcased the French video site Imineo.com. This site clearly violates Google's AdSense Program Policies by displaying AdSense alongside explicit adult content.[16] Typically, sites displaying AdSense have been banned from showing adult content.[citation needed]In addition, Google has been criticized for claiming that they created, or had a bigger part in creating, AdSense than they really did. Most recently, Gokul Rajaram claiming he was the "godfather" of AdSense caused some controversy.[17] Another Google employee who took credit for AdSense was Susan Wojcicki.[18]

Batch Upload to Google Docs

2008-01-27T16:43:51+01:00

Back in March '07, I requested two new features for Google Docs: automatic synching between openoffice and Google Docs, and batch uploading to Google Docs.Well, batch uploading has just come true.

Batch Upload to Google Docs

Even cooler, the batch uploader is really just a tech demo for the new and improved Google Docs API, so advanced functionality like the add-in background uploader to Google Docs isn't too far away.Thanks Google!

Google in the Moon

2008-01-12T15:15:00+01:00

Google is teaming since september 2007 with the X Prize foundation to launch a commercial race to the Moon with a $30 million incentive. To win the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a team must successfully land a privately funded craft on the lunar surface and survive long enough to complete the mission goals of roaming about the lunar surface for at least 500 meters and sending a defined data package, called a “Mooncast”, back to Earth.

http://www.googlelunarxprize.org/

0n FT Predict (Financial Times Predict), the games are openned. The Google Lunar X Prise to be won before 2012 can be bet on or off. It is a volatile value.

A quite different subject than the usual prediction games of FT.com like the pakistani national election date or the possible US + Israel Air Strike over Iran prediction date for 2008...

Google Moon already exist. Images are from the NASA, as well as for Google Space. But if you look for Google Lunar, everything is not ready.

If interested, you can join and apply for a job on the moon, at he Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering (GCHEESE) !

By Locating a research and technology center on The Moon (Googlunaplex), Google engineers will be able to experiment with an entirely different set of parameters and conditions.

The Googlunaplex will house 35 engineers, 27,000 low cost web servers, 2 massage therapists and a sushi chef formerly employed by the pop group Hanson.

Sky’s limit: Google Earth gets starry-eyed

2007-08-23T09:55:00+02:00

After turning millions of Internet users into virtual explorers of the world with Google Earth, the Internet search giant is now hoping to turn many of them into virtual stargazers.
    Google is unveiling within Google Earth on Wednesday a new service called Sky that will allow users to view the skies as seen from Earth. Like Google Earth, Sky will let users fly around and zoom in, exposing increasingly detailed imagery of some 100 million stars and 200 million galaxies.
    “You will be able to browse into the sky like never before,” said Carol Christian, an astronomer with the Space Telescope Science Institute, a nonprofit academic consortium that supports the Hubble Space Telescope.
    While other programmes allow users to explore the skies, they typically combine a mix of representations of stars and galaxies that are overlaid with photographs, Christian said. “These are really the images of the sky. Everything is real.”
    The Sky imagery was stitched together from more than one million photographs from scientific and academic sources, including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Palomar Observatory at the California Institute of Technology and the Nasa-financed Hubble.
    Google said that it developed the project strictly because some of its engineers were interested in it, and that it had no plans to make money from it for now. “It’s merely about getting new kinds of information out there for the public,” said Chikai Ohazama, a Google Earth project manager.
    As with Google Earth, individual users and organisations will be able to overlay photographs, annotations and other kinds of data on top of Sky’s basic images and make them available to others as layers — called mash-ups.
    Sky already has layers showing various constellations, a user’s guide to galaxies, the position of planets two months into the future and animations of lunar positions. A “backyard astronomy” layer highlights stars, galaxies and nebulae that are visible to the naked eye, with binoculars or with small telescopes.

Google: Good and Bad

2007-05-12T00:13:06+02:00

The good: The Great Firewall of China is blogging blogspot and livejournal currently -- thanks Cisco and Nortel! Fortunately, google reader is still up and running, so I can still follow all of my favorite blogs.The bad: Unfortunately, google's attempt to track its users is reducing its functionality as a quick search engine. For instance, if I google "great firewall of china tdaxp," the first result appears to be to http://tdaxp.blogspirit.com/tag/great+firewall+of+china but is actually to http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftdaxp.blogspirit.com%2Ftag%2Fgreat%2Bfirewall%2Bof%2Bchina&ei=--dERqG2F6besAKHycAk&usg=AFrqEzcjrDqiYMT4yPOR_hPSagbXH_ZTdA&sig2=MKMZowPLyoHzHTxy36RIvg. So to copy a url, right-clicking on the result is not good enough -- I need to follow it to its source.

Thoughts on Google Docs & Spreadsheets

2007-03-21T14:20:00+01:00

As I mentioned in the open thread, I've started using Google Toolbar for Firefox again. It will automatically open .doc files in Google Docs & Spreadsheets, which is much more convenient than the hassle fo downloading it to my computer and reading it with OpenOffice. It is faster, and then if the file will be useful I merely leave it there in Google Docs & Sheets -- then I can use it anywhere. Otherwise, it's one click to delete. A feature that Google is missing, however, is a plugin to Microsoft Office and OpenOffice that would allow one-click saving of documents to Google Docs & Spreadsheets (or, even better, automatic backup to Google DS even if the file is also saved on my computer). This would have been useful just yesterday, when I realized I had neglected to print out a copy of my statistics assignment. I ended up going down to the computer lab, booting my laptop, uploading my file to Google DS (or emailing it to myself), and then printing it out. The process would have been quicker if the file was just there.Additionally, there should be a way to synchronize, or at least upload, local files with Google DS. Besides a number of files in My Documents, I have backups of stuff that I no longer work on -- but do not want to throw away -- all over the place. Some are on my laptop harddrive, some are on my backup USB drive, and stuff I'll probably never need again is in some CD backup or the other. But if I could store the info with Google, it would be always available and always searchable -- even if the worst happens to me locally.(I've also taken to reading Google Operating System blog regularly, and at least for a time have been fixed of my live addiction.Google Operating System blog regularly, and at least for a time have been fixed of my live addiction.)

Asteroid to hit earth in 29 years

2007-02-23T18:30:00+01:00

I heard this the other night, not on the news or in the paper (where you would most likely hear this) but on the late late show with Craig Ferguson, a comedy talk show. He was the first to inform me that in 29 years an asteroid might hit earth. And I much like he asked, Why hasn't anybody talked about this? does nobody care of our futures? What about the children's futures? Perhaps it's not a big deal to some and shouldn't be. But there are a lot of things that we don't take as big deals, such asglobal warming, people dying in other country's. Why don't we do anything to try and stop these things? If life keeps going the way it has we're not going to do something to try and stop this asteroid....Maybe we gave up and stopped caring

Thought of the day: My own reality Show

2007-02-10T19:50:00+01:00

They have so many reality shows now a days, most of them are pretty silly too. I have an Idea for a reality show if anybody cares to hear.... You take five, ten people, it doesn't really matter. And each day their lives change and they have to figure out how to live it. Like lets just say one day someone is a doctor and living in a really nice house in LA, and their single, then they go to bed,wake up, and now they are selling used cars in Kansas, and have three kids to feed. What they have to do is figure out how to live their lives day by day this way, and whoever does it the best wins. That simple. That is my thought of the day....Because I did think of it. Therefore it counts as a thought.

Thought of the day

2007-01-30T19:33:59+01:00

Thought of the day: If a cat and a dog had an offspring would that be called a Tribble? Because it would be in the form of a little fluffy dog, with no claws like a cat, but it wouldn't bark like a dog but purr like a cat. That would make a Tribble.

Mashup: the new web modeller

2007-01-29T16:18:09+01:00

What is a mashup? To fully understand mashups, it is necessary to go back to another concept: public API. An API is an interface which makes it possible for two software programs to communicate together. Public API simply means an API published on the web and available for public usage. To offer a public API became a must for any Internet site which claims to be Web 2.0. But why did this become so fashionable? Well, it is related to the structure of the Internet. In a broad picture, one can consider Internet as a kind of giant publication tool. You have this great content you want to share with other people. For that, you create an application to publish this content on a Web site. It looks simple, but in real life it can get very complex. Indeed, the issue is to present this content in the most appealing, intuitive and efficient way. The trouble of course is that these three characteristics are most often contradictory. Searching for the perfect balance, web publication results into eternal creative compromises. From a given piece of content, there are plenty of different marketing choices, resulting into a very large variety of concepts. This issue has brought the following idea: I have some great content which I wanna share with the public. Potentially, there are thousands of different ways to publish this content. Sure, I can try to test myself all kinds of marketing ideas. But why not delegate this huge task to others? For that, I just need to publish on line a public interface which gives free access to my content. In this way, a great number of independent developers will be able to publish my content each one with its own creative approach. Clearly, I no more control the whole value chain. But who cares? Collective intelligence has such a power that among all these pilots, there is a strong probability that some very good idea for my content will prevail. For this reason, public API became very popular, especially among web 2.0 sites. Leveraging on the net community, it is likely to create more value than by controlling verything. Today, content accessible through a public API is huge. It ranges from Amazon cultural product catalogue to Google Maps geographical layouts, including also Flickr personal pictures and sophisticate predictive calculations for Criteo (yes, yes, you can check our public and free API!). public API to produce a completely original service. A smart example of a mashup is the combination of Flickr + Navx + Google Maps which makes it possible to position pictures from a ski trip on a map using a GPS tracker. Mashup potential seems endless. This is why in the coming years, you will see more and more of those smart hybrid applications launched every day on the web.

IE7, Google Desktop, and MSHTML

What a joke:

I had some pretty major crashing on the new build of IE7 whereas the previous build worked just fine. The error reported is:Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.5335.5, faulting module mshtml.dll, version 7.0.5335.5, fault address 0x000d850d.For those that do not browse the usergroups, the fix that worked for me is to disable the Web History checkbox in Google Desktop indexing options.

Google Promotes Blog Search to News Tab

2006-10-24T23:24:32+02:00

Steve Rubel notes that Google has added a blog search to their Google News tab.

"Google has made a small, but important change to Google News. On the top right hand part of the page next to the Archive Search there's now a link to Google Blog Search."

Maybe this will lead to Google pulling blogs from Google News? Until that happens, check out Lee Odden's tips on how to get your blog listed on news search engines.

Dumping Google and Yahoo for Microsoft Live Search

2006-09-15T17:50:00+02:00

I am generally skeptical of Microsoft's Franco-Soviet development process. Nonetheless, I have been using a number of common Microsoft programs, such as

Windows XP
Windows Live Messenger
Wordpad

because they work better than competitors. Yet when competitors are required for certain jobs -- such as Jedit for editing programs or Google Talk for online message logging -- I use those as well.With that in mind, I have now modified Firefox to use Microsoft Windows Live Search instead of Google. The moment of truth came when I was searching for my article on Citi MasterCard's reward cuts. Of the top five Windows Live searches, four bring you to my page. Further, the very top result is exactly the one I'm looking for. However, on google there are only four results, and while three will take you there, none are a direct page link.(I also found through my experiment that spammer sites are now using "tdaxp" as a junk keyword. Before I started this blog, the only pages that contained "tdaxp" were the raw output of some statistical program. So I guess that's a move up in the world, heh).I've already noticed this with my evolutionary politics notes, with google typically taking you to the category main page while Windows Live Search brings visitors to the actual post.I began using google back in the google.stanford.edu era. From then to now, I have never had another primary search engine, or recommend that anyone else do so. Now I can say this: I use Windows Live Search. You should, too.

I have installed Stuart Marshall's Windows Live Engine for Mozilla Firefox, and have changed Firefox's default behavior by making Windows Live my default search engine (a now removed copy of Yahoo Messenger sneakily changed this behavior and refused to change it back).I will still use Google apps as they are useful -- Google Talk, Goolge Scholar, and GMail especially --- but Google Search is no longer the best in the business. Windows Live Search is.Update: The side search box has been updated to use Windows Live instead of Google. It now looks like thing like:

Additionally, in both Google and Live Search, my friend Mike's blog "Spooky Action is the 2nd result. Let's change that, and make Spooky Action #1!

Why so much buzz around Web 2.0?

2006-09-08T13:55:17+02:00

A couple of months ago, only experts were debating over the web 2.0 phenomena. But recently, we see more and more mainstream national Medias covering Web 2.0.This new buzz gives a fresh smell of bubble. But what is behind all the excitement? In fact, what fascines before all the mass media, is clearly not new technologies related to Web 2.0 (Ajax or RSS for instance), nor even the community aspect (which has existed for a long time). What fascines them is two things: 1) the irresistible growth of giant Google which is eating more and more in the mouth of old superstars Yahoo! and MSN 2) the irruption of an unexpected new generation of Net players. Unknown sites like YouTube, Flickr or MySpace made spectacular rises in traffic rankings in matters of months. And even more dary, they have achieved this spectacular rocket growth almost without any dollar spent in advertising! In 2001, after the burst of the Internet bubble, one believed that the game was over. The survivors seemed to be able to lock the market, in particular large e-commerce sites. A that time, everyone considered for instance eBay untouchable. Moreover, traditional brands finally thought they had their revenge over those arrogant pre bubble start-ups. Suddenly, this reassuring feeling disappeared. People were surprised to rediscover a basic rule of business: positions are never secured for ever. On the Internet even more than in the old economy, new entrants can always change the rules. Fast successes tend to fascinate people. One thinks that there must be some hidden dark secret behind such miracles. Well, in some ways, this secret could be called Web 2.0 ;-)

Google's Long term intentions...

2006-05-28T17:17:00+02:00

Well although so far so good. We are getting great free services from this company. But in this regard i would like to mention you the demat account case of Jodhpur.Some photo studio's came up with this very kewl free trial scheme where you could get your free snaps taken and developed. Under this trial scheme, thousands of people exploited the scheme and got their snaps done. No one bothered to think why the shop was giving out free snaps and how it was making profit from it. Then only to realise one day that a scam had been uncovered, and their names and photos were used to register thousands of false demat accounts.I am not saying google will exploit us that bad, but it can do some interesting stuff with it. It can become the bad medicine that Microsoft has become for us. We don't want to take it, but can't live without it.After all if I have a business and I want to use a business email, why not buy an email account? Rather than relying on Gmail. You never know when Gmail decides that you have broken policies and shuts your account. Apart from that, you are simply handing over your personal data to gmail, which is surely not the best deed. (Since we have this quite infamous rumour that they don't delete a single mail that you recieve.)Now we have this new service called Google Calendar, which seems just as dubious as its Gmail service. With being able to let others sync to our calendars, its a really innovative method of letting others know of your schedule so that they can adjust their schedules etc. Despite all the plus points it just moves one step closer to occupying every user's online life. I don't know about others, but I don't know why I would like people to know about my schedules. If they want to sync with me, they can always ask. What if I throw a private party to selected few, and one of those makes a Google calendar entry? I would face 'discrimination charges' from my all other contacts.Apart from that, it has the wierd strategy of importing calendars. It allows you to import calendars from outlook, evolution etc, but not export back. Well that is fishy enough to discuss further.I am fine with softwares like Evolution where I can do most of my day to day scheduling jobs. Some how I have been gripped by Gmail. I still can't figure out how to get rid of it. It's far more simpler to have a 3GB easily searcheable mailbox than burning your archived emails onto CD/DVDs (that i used to do earlier). However wonderful, I still find it a real risky business to deal with. I am still trying my best to get back to my previous routine.In the end I would like the readers to rethink and decide the share of their lives that they would like to place in Google's hand.

How cool is Google?

2006-01-13T15:55:00+01:00

I have been reading Google’s official blog. Man, the stuff they are churning out is really cool. They seem like the quintessential American IT company to work for where the guys just want to use technology to make this world better for people. Free spirits, hardworking souls and all that interesting and cool stuff they are developing.Sometimes, I am just like, WOW. Does that make me geeky?Their blog goes under the Go Here box. http://googleblog.blogspot.com

Google Censors Jawa

2005-03-30T17:40:00+02:00

"Google News Drops 'The Jawa Report' for 'Hate Speech' Violation," by Rusty Shackleford, Jawa Report, 29 March 2005, http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/073310.php (from Michelle Malkin).I've been hearing complaints about liberal bias at Google for a while, but I dismissed them until now.

I received the following e-mail moments ago from Google News.
Hi Rusty, Upon recent review, we've found that your site contains hate speech, and we will no longer be including it in Google News. If you can guarantee that your news no longer includes hate speech, we will be happy to re-review the site for inclusion. Regards, The Google Team
Needless to say, I am pretty damned ticked.I challenge Google News to find one instance of 'hate speech' on this site that is not either a case of sarcasm, humor, or a direct quote used in the context of a post that attempts to do just the opposite.

All the facts aren't in yet, and of course Google can carry what sites they wish. Google and Google News are great services that I use many, many times a day. But this is disturbing. Cries of "hate speech" are commonly used to silence conservatives on college campus, and now in the blogosphere too. Let's hope there is an innocent explanation!
