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…

FeedBurner’s Link Splicer
People viewing my feed will be relieved as of today. I will no longer use the FeedBurner ‘Link Splice’ option, which added my Furl into the main sites webfeed. Why? I was getting fed up by the constant ‘there’s a new item’ notice in Bloglines and FeedDemon. Also, I don’t see an added value merging…

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…
