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) […]
Amazon.com, 800, and talking to a real person
As most who have looked for this info know, the 1-800 phone number for Amazon.com has been around for years and years. It’s existence is not listed in the Amazon help area, but if you googled for Amazon 800 number, you could find it. That number is 1-800-201-7575 I’ve called that for years, I almost […]
Earth to Lynn
Are you lost? My RSS feed reader is getting lonely.
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 […]
