Sold To Google
Something happened today that I never expected in a million years. I am in contact with a few Google employees on Facebook and Twitter, and in the course of conversation, I shared an idea I once had about a PHP application. We talked it out, I coded the first tidbits, a friend helped [...]
Picasa for Mac Beta Arrives!
Last night, after several years of waiting, the beta version of Picasa for Mac was released. I’ve only had a short time to tinker with it thus far, but in short: so far, so good.
Picasa is tightly bound to Picasa Web Albums, the first 1GB of which is also free, in contrast with Apple’s [...]
Back to Google Reader
I’ve chronicled my adventures with Bloglines before, several times, in fact. I was not happy when their new “beta” was released, but after several revisions, it proved to be a worth successor. Some time ago, I switched over full time to the beta version and never looked back. It’s better looking, smoother, with a much [...]
Buh Bye, Picasa Web Albums
After settling in on Picasa Web Albums, I’ve taken my album offline and cancelled by Google paid storage. I’m going to be deciding on a new picture host soon. Hopefully one that actually support subfolders, password protection, and has a good, quick, easy iPhoto plugin. This is when I wish MobileMe wasn’t [...]
Google Slips on SLL Renewal
It happens to us all. We network folks admins have a lot of responsibility put on us that no one else understands.
Google is sometimes seen as the company who can do no wrong. Well, they’re human, and it’s time to hire someone to do your administrative work, boys.
From Bloglines to Google, and Back
I ditched Bloglines the other day for Google Reader. I’m not a huge fan of Bloglines’ new beta interface, most because I find it clunkier than the current interface. Sure, the current one feels a little dated, but it works. Plus, the iPhone interface is nice.
Google has a lot going [...]
A Review of Online Photo Services
Some time ago, I switched to Google’s Picasa Web Albums online photo management software. Although it’s simple to use, Picasa Web has been missing too many features for too long, and after Google locked me out of their software for a few days due to a bug of some sort, and their iPhoto plug-in [...]
Gee, Thanks Google!
Google resolved their storage blunders recently and, in an unannounced act of reconciliation, I assume, extended my paid storage upgrade for a few extra weeks. But imagine my surprise when I got this email today:
At first glance, you might think to yourself – that’s nice of Google, warning you that they are about [...]
My Faith in Google Is Now In Question
As my readers will know, I’ve detailed my isses with Google, or more specifically, Picasa Web in the past. Well, today, I was surprised when Picasa refused to upload new photos for me. I cannot use my iPhoto exporter anymore, since that broke with one of the last two updates to iPhoto, so [...]

Dear Google, WTF? Love, Adam
