Settembre 2007

Ultimo sabato Ho accennato che ho firmato in su per BlogRush e che stavo facendo oggi rapporto con i risultati. Scaturisce la sezione di stats (cruscotto) di BlogRush data dei calci a in questa settimana, così ora conosco quanto gente ho fatto riferimento, quant0 “mi accredita„ hanno guadagnato e quante chiamate BlogRush ha trasmesso al mio senso. Come altri, i risultati non sono grandi. [scatto da continuare…]

Dopo appalled a che cosa ho visto quando ho osservato l'aiuto semplice nel mio Smartphone, ho deciso che era tempo di calcolare fuori un senso rendere questo luogo più supplichevole alla gente che usando i browsers mobili. It didn’t take long for me to find Alex King’s WordPress Mobile Edition plugin. If you follow the instructions outlined in the README (included with the download) it only takes about 30 seconds to convert your WordPress installation to a very usable site for mobile web browsers.

Update: all 3 invites gone. I’ll update again if/when I have more.

I havehad 3 invites to the beta service Jango. My initial thoughts on Jango are very positive. It has the social aspect of Last.FM and the streaming and ’suggest similar artists’ features of Pandora. Big plus - it works in Canada (Pandora does not).

Leave a comment below and I’ll send invites to the first 3 people. Cheers!

This overview will explain your options when it comes to using Google services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, Google Search, Google Maps and even YouTube - with your Windows Mobile device. Though the screenshots are specific to Windows Mobile 5.0 on a Smartphone, they will be similar for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile 6.0 devices as well.

It’s also worth noting that all of the services were downloaded and/or accessed without using ActiveSync once - so Mac/Linux users who own Windows Mobile devices aren’t left out.

Instead of reviewing or introducing you to BlogRush (for that you can check out ProBlogger), I’m going to try something a little different. I’ve signed up, added the code to my sidebar (though admittedly not giving it ‘ideal’ placement) and I’m going to leave it up for one week. Then I’ll report back next Saturday on how much (if any) traffic that it has driven. Like others, I’m a bit skeptical - but we’ll see. First update after the cut -

I recently stumbled across a fantastic little program that allows you to specify a webmail service (like Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail etc) as your default email program. When you click on a mailto: link, instead of Mail opening, your specified webmail service will launch in your default browser, with the email address pre-filled in a “compose” window. This tutorial will guide you through installing and setting up Webmailer for OS X. [click to continue...]

Update: There’s now another tutorial on how to monitor your Internet bandwidth usage in OS X. You may want to give it a view before this one, as it’s free, and the one below involves software that isn’t free. Both solutions work well, but this one (outlined below) does have more reporting options.

Somewhat similar to my How to monitor your Internet bandwidth usage in Windows tutorial, this one will show you how to do the same, but in OS X. As a number of ISP’s are now disconnecting customers for using “too much” bandwidth (this one in particular), knowing exactly how much you’ve downloaded (or uploaded) in a given month can be very helpful.

If you’d like an invite to Yahoo’s new social network “Mash”, just leave a comment (please use a valid email address in the Email Address field). For what it’s worth, I’m not particularly impressed.

From their site:

“The Google Analytics widget is an Adobe AIR application that runs on your desktop and displays basic stats for your Google Analytics account.”

If you’ve lost your Windows password and you’re locked out of your computer, you can use the Ophcrack LiveCD to recover your password(s). This tutorial will guide you through doing just that. [click to continue...]

At some point yesterday (Nov 12th, 2007) Google Webmaster Tools got a bit of a redesign. And at least one new feature was added - Subscriber stats. Now you can view the number of users who have subscribed to your RSS feed(s) using Google products such as iGoogle, Google Reader, and Orkut.

Are there any other new features I missed?
