Google Earth Mac Beta
Posted on Saturday, December 10th, 2005
After an evening of trying out the non-public beta of Google Earth for Mac OS X I must say… YES! Finally. I, and a lot of Mac owners, have been eager to run this piece of software on a Mac. And now we can. Not officially, because the download page at earth.google.com still mentions Apple [...]

Google Earth for Mac OS X around the corner…
Posted on Friday, December 9th, 2005
Or is it??? I’ve blogged about it before. Well, it was more a kind of ‘wishing out loud‘. But just yet the Google Earth fairy brought me a package. It looks, smells and tastes like a Mac app. Unfortunately I’m at work and my Mac is at home. So I cannot be sure. A quick [...]

Google Analytics… *Big Yawn*
Posted on Wednesday, November 16th, 2005
So 48 hours after launch the site is at least reachable. But still no data to analyse. Thus no comparison. A vague memory begins to boil up, I have never, ever, seen any Urchin report before. Although previously encountered hostingproviders offered them… (I’m starting to see a trend here…) It’s beginning to look like, as [...]

Here’s a good idea: An open message to Microsoft and Yahoo, and major implementors of search engines: Please clone the Google API, without the limits.

Google Personalised Homepage getting more personal
Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
What live.com didn’t deliver is what Google is taking a step further already. A Google Personalised Homepage in your native language with ‘local’ information sources. ‘Aboot’ the announcement: While Seattle’s pretty close, I’d prefer to have the actual weather for Victoria — and have it in Celsius. Now I can, because today we expanded the [...]

Windows Live Beta. Don’t bother…
Posted on Thursday, November 3rd, 2005
As the rest of the world is doing right now, I was going to drop my two cents on the new Windows Live Beta. But in this context Beta means Broken. Severely! It doesn’t work in Firefox, but worse, it also borks in IE. If you ask me, it’s a rush job. Because the hotshots [...]

Google Earth: Impact Structures Continued
Posted on Monday, October 24th, 2005
It has been over a month since I’ve released the first ‘impact structures’ network link for Google Earth, showing you the top 25 largest impact craters on earth. And it has been quite succesfull.

Pagerank update. Whoop there it is!
Posted on Thursday, October 20th, 2005
It has happened again. The Pagerank award ceremony happened overnight. And it served me well. From PR 1 to PR 5. Oscar mode: Thank you Google. And my audience. Words fail me to express my gratitude. Ok everyone, let’s get those servers at ‘Technorati‘, ‘Blogsearch‘, ‘Icerocket‘, ‘…’ smoking with our stats… If you do care [...]
