Since today, koopjeszoeker.be (and koopjeszoeker.com, fr.zamtam.be and www.zamtam.fr) supports Google rich snippets. Not much happens yet, but you can have a look at the parsed data in this testing tool.
At the moment I still get “Insufficient data to generate the preview” from this tool although it seams to be able to parse the data, no idea what it means…
Today I got my developer account for the Google Wave platform. Since the demo video looked really cool, I was eager to test this.
I didn’t have a lot of time to test yet, but my first impression is that it is the chaos of a bulletin board, mixed with the trolls found in blog comments and interspersed with unrelated automated bot comments.
Probably this is because I’m jumping right in, and other developers already had info sessions or got in earlier, so they had some time to get used to everything before the place was overwhelmed.
It’s still a developer preview, so I’ll give it some more time before I decide if I really like it…
I’ve created a small demo showing Grails on Google AppEngine.
The site is a showcase of Grails on Google AppEngine with the Grails AppEngine plugin.
Places are stored in the AppEngine datastore and a taglib is added for rendering the login button and the currently logged in user.
Additionally, an integration with Google AJAX Search API is done when adding a place.
My Google Apps Standard Edition e-mail account (like GMail, but I can use my own hostname instead of gmail.com) reached 7 GB. I just noticed it today, but it may already be there for a few days since I don’t watch the GMail counter continuously.
The Thrash folder however still shows
No conversations in the Trash. Who needs to delete when you have over 2000 MB of storage?!
7 GB that is, if you use the same metrics hard disk manufacturers use. It’s still not really 7 GB though.
Looks like I still have some space left after 4 years of e-mailing (I didn’t import my old hotmail and student accounts I had before that):
You are currently using 472 MB (6%) of your 7007 MB.
I used a little trick (don’t tell Google!) to import my e-mail from my old server. When you purchase a Premier Edition account, you have better tools to migrate your e-mail. After 15 days (and a successful migration) I downgraded my Premier Edition to a Standard Edition for free (you have 30 days to try it).
Hundreds of other bloggers have probably already written about this new Google feature, but apparently I missed it. So here it goes…
You can go to the “advanced settings” page in Google and search for pages that Google found in a certain timeframe (the last 24 hours, the last week, …). What makes it really interesting is that you can limit the results to a site, so you can use
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Apets.be&as_qdr=d
to get all pages from pets.be that were updated in the last day.
You can change the as_qdr parameter to:
d[number] – past number of days (e.g.: d10)
w[number] – past number of weeks
y[number] – past number of years
