If you’re still searching for the ultimate iCal <–> gCal syncing tool, you might be one step closer to heaven with BusyMac’s BusySync preference pane app. I had been using Macness’s gSync application but threw it in the trash like a moldy loaf of bread. I am now much, much happier.

« 17 August 2007 | 3:11 | Internet, geekery, google, web2.0 | No Comments »

Blog-widget coders (blog-parts in Japanese parlance) who use Google Analytics (”GA”) may find that requests for their widget are not being tallied.  The primary reason is because GA does most of its processing, and obtains much information from, client-side with javascript.  But there is a way to add entries to your GA account without javascript, [...]

Those behind a corporate firewall yet want to try out Google’s new “talk” service using iChat may find this link helpful. Basically iChat currently doesn’t let you configure proxy settings for its Jabber client, so you have to create a tunnel. Enjoy!

Okay, this is weird. My daily Google News mail feed sent this article on the old Sony Clie as “news”. It’s 5 years old! Looks like the Google News bots are crunching faster than news is generated :) Someone’s got a bit more tweaking to do!
