Google Moon
Totally non-WebDev, but the guys at Google just made the leap and became extraterrestrial. Today sees the launch of Google Moon. Like Google Maps, but this time from our friendly neighbouring rock. Don’t forget to zoom in all the way to see what lies beneath all that lunar dust. 😉

Using Furl for almost a year.
I’ve been using Furl for almost a year now. In fact it was Jul 23, 2004 at 23:13:58 GMT that I ‘furled’ my very first furl: Furl – How to Save. Using it on a daily basis, I collected some 500+ interesting, funny, need-to-know, nice-to-know or what-else public links. Not much compared to others, but…

Finally, I got Pagerank!
Finally! It has been a long wait. 🙂 But it’s only a meagre PR of 1! Damn it. 🙁 It’s about time I remove my homepage then. 😉 In a weird way my homepage has received a 1, but the rest a 4. Take for instance the reference or the Google Search category. Ah well……

Google Earth :-/
In a totally non-webdev way I’ve let my blog down for a ‘couple o’ days’. Why? That damn Google Earth virus caught me… I advise, anyone with some time on their hands, not to install the damn thing. First there was Google Maps. Before that, Google acquired Keyhole. Now they give you this piece of…

Google Toolbar for Firefox
Google has released an official beta, what isn’t beta from Google these days, of their toolbar for Firefox. Previously this was only available for IE-users. Get the toolbar at: http://toolbar.google.com/firefox/ Furthermore they’ve released two more extensions: Google Send to Phone: Send text-messages of web-content (U.S. only!) Google Suggest for Firefox: Get search-term-suggestions right in the…

WebDesign according to Google
Just take a look at the first page at Google. There are 7 million hits and all the links on the first page stink. 🙁 How come? Is it the most abused keyword? 😕

MediaWiki and Google Sitemaps
As I could not find an extension or script specifically for MediaWiki that would automatically deploy a Google Sitemap, I thought, why not build one myself? And in the process try and learn some PHP on the way. So here’s my result: http://www.thinklemon.com/wiki/sitemap.xml.php It’s submitted to Google as of yet. Let’s see what it’ll do.…

A decade of WebDev.
What did people do before there was the internet? Well, they … uhm… well there was tv and board games. You had to do stuff using pen (as opposed to an ink-cartridge) and paper. And I think you physically went to a store to buy stuff. But seriously, the World Wide Web (does anyone call…

IE’s dead, hail the new King!
… and the new king is ‘Longhorn‘! Well, not exactly, it’s RSS! I’ve watched the video, scanned Technorati, clicked on TechCrunch, taken a look at the IE Blog, re-visited C|Net, shivered at the Creative Commons Blog, read the last Gnomedex’r story, … What’s left? I say, Redmond got the idea late in the game. But…

Turning off the ‘friendly HTTP error messages’ in Firefox
By accident I stumbled upon this Firefox somewhat equivalent of IE’s ‘Show friendly HTTP error messages’ option. Any webdeveloper should have this turned off by default. How else will you know what the problem is? So here’s how to do it: Open up a new tab (CTRL+T) or window (CTRL+N). Type in de addressbar: about:config.…
