The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Google Knows Best, and doesn't care what you or I think
I rue the day my office switched to Gmail.
Because now we have no control. None.
First Google decided to de-support their BlackBerry app. It's an Android World kidz, and if you don't like that, well, I hear Facebook might be developing a phone. Someday.
Except I'm a BlackBerry guy. Always have been.
Anyone use Google+? Anyone? Didn't think so. Guess you don't upload videos to YouTube then, because now you can't do that unless you sign up for Google+. I had a YouTube ID. They "helpfully" converted it to something inacessible. But here's the best part, my Google identity is tied to my corporate email address, and Google doesn't allow corporate users to have access to Google+.
Oh sure, I can log out of my corporate email, log in to a dummy Google account I had to create for Google+, and upload a video. If I remember the password.
You know what else got lost in that translation? All my Google Reader bookmarks. Guess I didn't need them, right? People tell me the new Reader interface sucks donkey piss anyhow, but I wouldn't know 'cause I can't get to it.
But wait, there's more sanctimonious Google paternalism! Today I log in to my corporate email and discover, "You've been upgraded to the 'New Look'." No warning. No ability to opt-out. They're re-arranged my screen, because Google knows best!
Have I mentioned how much I rue the day our CEO became a Google Fan Boi? He drank the friggin' Kool-Aid, and the rest of us have to suffer with the consequences.
I. Hate. Google.
