So, you want a website, eh?
I’ve been doing websites a long time. First ones I ever put online were back in the summer of 1995, almost 22 years ago now. In all that time I get asked a lot about doing websites for people. Those who know the Internet and know how it works have a handle on what that request […]
Suspended from Twitter
UPDATE 2 JUN 23: I got reinstated. Need to write about that, but in short, it took them 15 days to respond to my original appeal request. Sigh. UPDATE JUN 22: It’s now two weeks later. Nothing’s changed since I wrote this on Jun 15th. A week ago (Jun 8, 2015) I was suspended from […]
A few thoughts on Google Inbox
I’ve spent some time with Google’s new Gmail client, Inbox. I’ve used both the desktop variant, and the iOS version. I have a few things I wanted to say about it. Before I do that, watch this video. It is the video that you are shown once you are able to log into the program. […]
Turning off Spam Checking in Gmail
Recently in some work I did for a web client, I discovered that essential emails that were needed for work were getting sent to spam. They didn’t know that, and I didn’t discover it until my time working with them on this particular project. When I told them about this, they well, I’m not sure […]
Make Amazon.com pay you! [ UPDATED ]
Update: I’ve been making use of the policy below for years, but I had read this past week that it was discontinued on September 1st. This is a major bummer to me, as it was a great deal which I’ve gotten much money back from. Perhaps that is the reason they stopped doing it. I […]
Gmail Error – I’m tired of seeing this
If you’re a Gmail (or Google Apps Mail) user, then you’ve probably seen this lately. A few months back, Google pushed out a newer, “faster” version of Gmail, which by all accouts is faster. It appears (to this non techie programmer), that some of the things are done in javacript locally, then “pushed” (of sorts) […]
RSS in Plain English
I’ve been using Google Reader for some time now. It’s my preferred method of visting sites. In fact, if a site doesn’t have a feed for it’s content, I probably am not going there. I find it’s a lot easier to read information this way. It’s also beneficial in that you don’t have to wade […]
Robbing banks
Anyone who knows me knows I get a boatload of email, and of course, insane amounts of spam. The last time I tracked it, I had something like half a million pieces of it myself in a calendar year – so I see a lot of it. Given I do professional work in email, I […]
Why is there no Z spam?
I get a lot of spam. In 2005, I got just under half a million pieces of it myself at my work email account. So I would like to think I am familiar with it. Each morning I download my 500 or so pieces of the stuff that have built up since the time I […]
