Move over blogger beta

So I've been assimilated into my google account, the blog kindly told me to do so. So I became a beta blog of the new blogger, yippie!
And permissions, which I have longed for! Gee, can hardly wait to try.

...when I'll get the time.

facelift

And by the way as you all may have noticed (just kidding, I write this for myself) I have changed the stylesheets. Better now. Happy.

Google gadgets

Okay, I am amused again. Google creates a new monster every day it seems. First Google Calendar walked along as a pretty useful way to replace human communication about events share calendars, but now they've gone too far: Google Spreadsheets! This is plain crazy!

Okay, just kidding. I am astonished how the use of the web are about to change when people like bright minds at Google come up with new ideas.

Problem is that they all require web access, which may or may not be present all the time, and may or may not be spedy at times. Refreshing gmail window now may require 5-8 seconds, and my poor firefox allocated around 1gigz of memory due to my resource-hungary opened tabs... Obviously web collaboration have its limits. Still it's not over yet, with Writely around the google corner many intresting wepplications are around... to make life harder for my browser. ;)

The Race, part 2

No, there wasn't part one, but I have been forgetting to link stuff back, like the Opera blog I mentioned. And where has my WYSIWYG editor's gone...?

It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Okay, so you see nothing. Yet. Or ever. You are standing in the middle of nowhere, obviously unlit (I mean you are probably unlit too, but the nowhere definitely is). You are carrying a pencil. You wear clothes (very probably, since it's hard to tell in the dark). You do not remember who you are, how did you get here (not that you know where you are anyway), and why are you here. What do you do now?


If you've been a fan of Infocom games you may get this feeling when meeting some new (erm, I mean, yet undiscovered) service. Not that I plan to blog my mind away (if any left) but to try and see what have they done, and how was it created, and why that funny gang called Google is interested in it. So far I see nothing (this is the first page, you remember?), but I will look around in the meantime.

First impression is that Opera's blog page looks nicer, but they do good designs. Let me see around, now, willya?
