Blogger going global…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Gee is Google, through Blogger, out to conquer the world?

Seriously, I’ve got to think giving people the ability to use Blogger with their own language is only going to increase the number of people and veiwpoints being represented on the web and that’s got to be good, right?

Now, what they need to do is have an application that automatically senses the language settings in your browser and directs you to a translated page. For example, if you speak French and have your browser set that way, when you come here, instead of seeing this, you’d be redirected to an accurate French translation of this page. That would rock!

    Replacing Google Reader Isn’t Easy

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As you may know, I decided to go with the upstart The Old Reader as my Google Reader replacement when Google shut it down. It had everything that I had enjoyed from Google Reader, even if it wasn’t backed by a humongous infrastructure in the same way that Google Reader was. I can see now…

  • A bug’s life

    Thanks to Tom, who was kind enough to let me know he was viewing the site with Windows XP, I was able to learn some new things about this apparent bug in the stats program. I thought perhaps the XP visits were being counted as something else, but I realized by comparing Tom’s visit and…

    If you work in tech long enough you will, inevitable, come across a fix that leaves you going “Why would anything be designed to do THAT?” Or, as I tell coworkers when I come across one, “I don’t know why it works, I’m not even sure why those two things are related, but it works,…

  • Attracting the wrong attention

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Apparently, putting IE7 as a Technorati tag attracts the attention of someone from ieproviders.com, who leaves comments about the search providers you can plug into the search bar in IE7 even when that particular post has nothing to do with searching. So I’m giving them the attention they crave over there, by exposing them. 🙂…

  • Double Wow!

    From Jevon’s blog today: “I linked to http://www.mikemcbride.com instead of http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com yesterday. . . Imagine my suprise when I followed the original link today. Hijacking.” For the record, I am not affiliated with mikemcbride.com in any way, shape or form! I do not get involved in such extreme religious/political arguments. I’m just a geek with…

  • $^&%! hosting company!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    Well it’s now 9AM on March 7, 2002. This site has been dead in the water since 4:30PM March 6. I don’t know when it will be back, as the email isn’t working either, including the email for the company who’s hosting it. I’ve frankly had it with That Hosting Company. Stuff like this happens…
