A small announcement:
From now on my blog is supporting OpenID both for comments an for login.
I find OpenID as a wonderful solution for the nightmare of having dozens of logins and passwords for the sites you use. If you do not have an OpenID yourself I encourage you to follow this link and get yourself one.
Jeff Atwood just announced a IT centric version of StackOverflow.com (the already famous QA site for programmers) coming in March. Thats good news! As my current job is fifty-fifty programming/IT related I can’t wait for the launch of this new site, and I’m positive that I am not alone here. IT related topics has much broader audience so it may by even more succesfull than the original site. The project doesn’t got a name yet, so go and suggest your proposals in comments of Jeff”s post about it. I can’t wait to have my second chance on the yet to be announced logo contest. Being one spot higher than last time is not much to ask isn’t it?
Good luck for Jeff, Joel and their team with their new project!
I am both Gmail and Google Reader user and I realy love the iGoogle home portal. Since guys from Mountain View rolled out the new version of the latter and I must admit I like the new approach:
I really missed the possiblity to use those services as I were accessing them the usual way, but no more! I’m now just 1 click away (and without a page reaload or new tab/window) from using the famous “J” shortcut to browse through unreaded RSS feeds, or switch to read unread e-mails and compose new.
In general, iGoogle experience is becoming more and more desktop like with features like maximizing gadgets accesing Google docs etc. and still its easy, fast and in result of above extreamly useful in everyday use.
The only uncool thing is that it is still not a default option for Polish Google site, and that caused I missed the initial realease by quite few (dozens of) days… The only reason I found it is that, at work, I started using Firefox with default website language set to English…
Better later then neve r.
Update 2009-04-12 – The Pogo browser project seems to be dead. Seems that looking good is not enough this days.
There is a new player trying to get into the big browser war campaign . AT&T lunched private beta of their Pogo Browser – a browser based on Mozilla engine modified by their business development team in cooperation with Vizible . Some may say that trying to make a foothold in todays browser battle sounds like a suicide mission – but I think they will for sure add some spice to the struggle. They are trying to make some use of our PCs 3D muscles in web browsing and I think this is looking more that interesting. I can’t wait to get my hands on it when it is going to be released as a public beta – I promise to write my review then. Continue reading ‘Pogo Browser – a new way to look on web from AT&T’
Here is my another, and I hope, finally successful attempt to start some serious blogging adventure. Although this blog’s primary aim is to track my personal path through the world of CS, I hope that some of You will find lecture of my posts enjoyable and useful. I am looking forward for your comments and suggestions.
Cheers!
