Chaos, Mr. Who.
“Chaos, Mr. Who,” Lupus Yonderboy said. “That is our mode and modus. That is our central kick. Your woman knows. We deal with her. Not with you, Mr. Who.” His suit had taken on a weird angular pattern of beige and pale avocado. “She needed her medical team. She’s with them. We’ll watch out for...

Google Results Worse
Nothing quite like using Google News search to look at the results for “google results worse.” I sometmes switch to DuckDuckGo, or more rarely, Bing, but the muscle memory is using Google. I don’t think I ever have gotten truly more useful results than when I used AltaVista. It was such a raw text search,...

Make XML Sitemaps Easily with PHP!
I am a huge fan of simple solutions for the web. So many solutions require tons of tooling or a giant content management system and those things are brittle over the long haul of time. XML Sitemaps help search engines, notably Google but other search engines too. In October 2009 I created this code to...

This is a reminder that on April 2, 2019 we’re shutting down consumer Google+ and will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in...

Goodbye, Google Plus
Your shutdown email of the day: You’ve received this email because you have a consumer (personal) Google+ account or you manage a Google+ page. In December 2018, we announced our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers’...

“your new Apple iPad doesn’t have the latest Google apps”
Boo, Google. This is pretty obnoxious. If I wanted those apps I’d install them.

Adieu Google Reader
On July 1, Google Reader does indeed close. Reader has been a valuable tool for me for a long time. In 2006, I said: Holy cow but the new Google Reader is pretty darn good. Fully worth using to read your RSS and Atom feeds. And that same year, I wrote an extended piece that...

Blogger FTP Migration Tool: Does not account for your images
Blogger has done work to create a migration tool for Blogger FTP users and is doing great communication. You can move to a blogspot blog, (which you could do before) or change from self-hosting to being hosted by Blogger/Google by changing the DNS to point at Google’s servers. This is similar to how tumblr handles...
