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?









 

RT @google: We're releasing +1 buttons to the whole web, making it easier to recommend content to your friends & contacts http://goo.gl/ ...

 

Coding to deadline and Adult Swim Google TV app don't mix!









 

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."

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

Having removed a few methods from j.c.g.common.base.StringUtil I know how hard it is to reverse the entropy that can develop...

here's the post microsoft-funded innuendo about shadowfax/social circles.

http://www.usatoday.com/money/media/2011-05-06-google_n.htm






 

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.

Further details on the mission can be found at http://go/stringutil









 

Yikes.. noticed I had Hans Reiser listed as a fan on slashdot. removed.. Social networks are more than a capital investment, they come with ongoing maintenance costs too..

Experiencing Emerald Sea separation anxiety!

At least this time sink of a renovation project at my house is almost done and I can get back to doing real work and showing up in the office..









 


I was six and Star Wars had just come out. It was sold out. Instead the sitter got us into Clint Eastwood's "Every Which Way but Loose"

hmm, might explain a lot -- especially my use of profanity :)

Reshare to a circle of your choosing:


*What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?*









 

- question of the day

*Would you rather go back in time or visit the future?*

Create a new post and spread (at least until I write the qotd app!)









 

There's a gmail switching campaign -- who knew? Love the art!

Anyone have opensocial stickers or other materials hidden away?









 

Cross posted from a buzz thread about implicit graph matching.



creepy/yuck factor? At one time organ transplants were considered frankenstein creepy. Street view was (and some say is) considered creepy. The facebook news feed was once considered creepy. People's views change over time, especially if there's an underlying value that one can understand. For all of the above I'd say that the value is there and folks have adjusted.


Having a benevolent trusted partner that can search all of your content and knows you better than you know yourself using heuristics and AI? That stuff is science fiction magic. We can make it happen, and it forms the basis for serendipitous search.


I'd say we're going to have a lot more moments like this where we surface stuff to the user that they didn't expect nor ask for. Making everything opt-in is not the answer -- there has to be a middle ground here where value is given before it is asked for.









 

Too quiet around here..

Todays QOTD:

What was the first computer you owned outright? Create a new post and spread far and wide....


Me? The money I earned as a teen cleaning fish guts from the resort next door netted me a C= 64 & 1541 disk drive. Good times, good times. We only needed two cursor keys back then :)
