Google Sitemaps Verification & Mobile
Posted on Wednesday, August 31st, 2005
Google Sitemaps has seen an update. Verification If you verify that you are the owner of the submitted ‘sitemap.xml’, you get to see some extra statistics about the indexing process. Although I see some errors on URL’s that aren’t even in my sitemap. Go to your sitemap controlpanel and click the verify link next to [...]

GMail down?
Posted on Wednesday, August 31st, 2005
Funny to notice this. It’s a free service. You know they know everything about you by scanning your e-mail. There are/were dozens of alternatives. But still you get upset when it’s not working. In other words: “How dependant are you on something that’s free?” During the day I noticed GMail was a little flakey. I [...]

Firefox & BitTorrent
Posted on Tuesday, August 30th, 2005
Opera supports it already. And now it seems it may be incorporated in Firefox as an extension. The FirePuddle extension is currently under development and it will be some time before a version for the general public will be available. Probably somewhere around the release of the next Firefox installment?

Free GMail Accounts per Textmessage/SMS
Posted on Friday, August 26th, 2005
Google’s handing out free GMail accounts per textmessage/SMS. But only if you have an American phonenumber! Funny thing though… if you go to the localised version of the page like let’s say the French, German, Spanish or Dutch version most of the text is already translated. But you still need an American phonenumber though. So [...]

The Joys of Shared Hosting
Posted on Thursday, August 25th, 2005
… are of course the low price tag and not having to maintain the server yourself. The downside however, is that you are at the mercy of your mostly unknown neighbours. Who happen to reside on the same server. So what happened? ThinkLemon.com was out of service for quite a while. 14 hours straight to [...]

Just a thought.
Posted on Wednesday, August 24th, 2005
The present: Most people come to you via a search engine (probably through Google, although Yahoo! is on the return). Some people come via Technorati, Bloglines or other RSS feed engine.

Enough with the RSS, just call it webfeeds!
Posted on Friday, August 19th, 2005
I’ve been following the ‘discussion’ a.k.a. mud-slinging for some time now. And sorry for mister Winer, but it’s everything against the name. Acronyms are fine, just as long as there’s something simple to back it up. A CD is a shiny silver disc that holds (expensive) music. A DVD is a shiny silver disc that [...]
