Here's my new recipe to keep consumer/corp accounts separate:

* Use Chrome Dev
* Activate the Mutliple Profiles feature in about:flags
* Create profiles for Corp/Consumer (and for me GA+) accounts
* Customize the theme for each profile so you can quickly tell at a glance that you're using one profile vs. another.

Done! No more multilogin hell! No more OTPs just because the session ID changed. And good visual cues to ensure I don't post something wrong.









 

 

LOL - comment from a thread on consumer + :

*Darren Bounds* - I hope the day never comes where I'm able to import RSS, Atom, Twitter or Facebook content directly into +. Give a Hoot. Don't Pollute.









 

whoa... people really want their facebook friends... I didn't think this would go that far and wide....

Good sign -- Dave Winer dislikes Google+









 

 

wow, *all* Yahoo Pulse profile pages are returning 404 pages right now. The sad part -- not a peep on twitter or blogs.

ouch









 

 

Just for fun I thought I'd see what impact css-dashes have on the Google+ base-page.

So we start with a 312k base page:

*% wc Google+.html*
1341 17301 312802 Google+.html

If we grab id/class attributes (just the stuff in quotes) we see:

*% cat Google+.html | perl -nse 'while (m,(id|class)="([^"]+)",sig) { print ""}'| wc*
0 1773 50420

Whoa.. 1/6th of the bytes are class/id names! (see http://www.corp.google.com/~plindner/no_crawl/css.txt)

If you just remove the dashes from the class names you save 13k. In practice you can gain more since the css obfuscator will choose a smaller identifier..











 

 

Upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich this weekend. There are some negatives, instability, flaky&laggy gmail, etc. However it's all trumped by one feature -- support for multiple accounts in Talk.









 

Sparks-like thing for Yahoo Meme. Worth a look... Also where suggested followers show up.

Do I get a prize for sending 4 build-cop notifications today?

Everyone wants to break people.oz today :)









 

Now we need to add support for +1s of email messages.

Can zipit and other backends handle mid: urls as specified in RFC 2392?

So wish I could +1 slashdot comments... Instead I post it here for you..

"That's the point of a Google profile! To let people more easily find you. I would certainly hope that they allow indexing of this information.


Why would you want a private profile? Like Creed from The Office, I can make a private profile with Microsoft Word."









 

Ex-Myspace Exec to Launch Facebook Alternative With Funding From DFJ – AllThingsD

Wondering why your flash-based transport is so slow?

Flash 10.1 will foul up your transport speed. Need a silent audio file added to the swf to maintain 8fps (otherwise it auto-throttles down to 2fps)

To anyone that naysays private java build rules I present one example of IDE autocompletion shame:

And let's not get started on com.google.inject.internal...









 

Interesting bumping+unread side-effect.

When you add a new person to your circles you get all of their posts at the top of the stream. I like that, but it's a little jarring since you see older content on top of the newer stuff...









 

Am I the only one excited about having this in blaze?

strict_java_deps = 1

Adding it to one of my build targets now.. Makes you realize the bloat you import, that's for sure!









 

Here's an even easier way to improve iGraph coverage! Just cut-and-paste URLs into the following form and I'll take care of the rest. (My previous multi-step howto only resulted in about a half-dozen submissions..)

You can find a list of uncovered sites here:

http://s/?fileprint=//depot/google3/googledata/quality/igraph/userid_handler_defs/README

By doing this you'll help improve the social search, improve authorship detection and make building the implicit graph easier.

Seems like a good time to trot out a cat video since I just committed catster.com support for iGraph in cl/21334552

Learn more about OpenSocial at Duboce Tech Talk right now!

Activity Streams, Oauth, Shindig, enterprise apps and more....

Opensocial...

I'm at the San Francisco office today putting the socialism back into Social Standards.

From 1-5pm see talks about OpenSocial and OpenSocial v2.0. It's in Duboce Tech talk.. Then at 5 there's a reception with beer, wine, snaks and *10* vendors demoing OpenSocial apps and containers.

And.... If you want to volunteer to register attendees I can hook you up with a snazzy t-shirt with the v2 logo!

Goats!

Now if only I could cross post this to livejournal...

 

OH: Opensocial may be dead at google, however we're getting plenty of use out of the corpse!









 

This morning at 9:11AM the crack java-libraries special ops team killed StringUtil#replace(). No BUILDs were harmed, however an 8-year old unmaintained jsp file was caught in the crossfire. Further investigation revealed that the jsp in question had already been dead for many years.
