Another blog bites the dust

I think Yahoo Pipes is really cool.

I’ve recently been fascinated with some aspects of Natural Language Processing (NLP) having worked on some of them at my day job.

If you don’t already know, Jim Gray, a computer scientist and Turing Award winner has disappeared at sea on Jan 28th 2007 while solo sailing his boat on a trip to Farallon Island near San Fransisco.

Google Gmail recently got a new feature allowing one to open Word documents using Google Docs and we can safely assume that PDF and Excel (for use with Google Spreadsheets) documents are on their way as well.

If you haven’t done so already, go check out (and hopefully use, afterwards) idproxy.net.

Everyone else has written about it and since I’m a bit behind on my feeds reading list I just got around to check it out.

I just read Simon Willison‘s post about idproxy.net.

I’ve just finished upgrading this blog to WordPress 2.1.

I just read on the official Linden Blog that they have completed an initial version of hosting Mono within SecondLife.

I recently ordered a couple of books from Amazon.

I just bumped into this post by Martin Atkins that talks about proxy OpenID services that can delegate OpenID formated requests to their respective browser based authentication identity providers.

I, as many other WordPress users, have encountered a problem with Full Text Feeds not actually showing on FireFox Live Bookmarks (the thingy that shows you the feed in a nice way) as full text, but are rather cut.

You know what would be a cool feature (and even a useful one) to Gmail?

I just wanted to point to those who read this blog and also my other blog – Advanced .NET Debugging, that I’ve purchased the domain dotnetdebug.net and moved the blog there (dotnetdebug.com was already taken…).

A reader of this blog, Nate Olson, just informed me that there is another WordPress plugin for MicroID and is written by Richard K.

Continuing my WordPress plugin frenzy and after release the MicroID WordPress plugin, I’m releasing another plugin, this time for OpenID delegation.

OpenID Delegate WordPress plugin will add OpenID delegation abilities to your blog, thus allowing you to sign in to various OpenID supported sites using your blog’s URL.

MicroID as the web site says is: MicroID is a lightweight identity layer for the web, invented by Jeremie Miller (creator of Jabber).

MicroID WordPress plugin is a plugin to add MicroID support to your WordPress blog.

When I started to think about migrating from Blogger to my own WordPress blog running on my own server I started to look at migration options.

I’m blogging directly from Eurekamp where I’ll start a presentation and discussion about Trust and Identity online.

I’ve roughly completed my transfer of “Another blog bites the dust” from Blogger to http://eran.sandler.co.il.

While Blogger is a great platform, I’ve decided that this blog of mine, which suffered a bit from neglect as opposed to its technical brother, will be transfered to its own respectful domain.

Hacker at heart and soul.

Most sites today distinguish between the process of Signing Up – the user wants to register to the site/service and does not have a previous account (or wishes to create another account), and the process of Signing In – the user wishes to identify himself…

I just read this post by Kaliya and it got me thinking about Identity relationships.

I use ZoneAlarm Security Suite on my laptop (yes, it’s running Windows…) since its a cheap and nice complete suite that has a firewall, an anti-virus and anti-spyware software plus a lot of other stuff I rarely use (IM Security and the likes).

If you have a cool new startup that is going to launch and all you have to say about it to better describe it is “It’s Flickr+YouTube+Riya+[Enter a cool new startup with cool technology or hype here]” something is wrong with your pitch.

I have read “Beneath the Metadata” as well as its reply by Dave Weinberger.

At my day job (Yedda, if you dont already know) we just introduced a whole bunch of new features.

I just read this post about the deal that eBay and Google signed which will also allow Google Talk and Skype to interoperate and possibly be able to communicate even via chats.

It seems that Mike of TechCrunch fame posted about Yedda.

As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve been very busy with Yedda and it is the main reason why it’s been very quite here.

A while back Google added a feature to Gmail so that you can see which of your friends is online and chat with them.

After Passport Windows Live ID and the Liberty Alliance Project now comes Google Account Authentication, which opens up the ability to use anyone’s Google Account to perform authentication to a system.

According to this, Google is opening an R&D center in Israel in the Tel Aviv area.

I just saw that Google released the Google Ctemplate library.

Zoundry released a new version of their Blog Writer product.

I’m what you may call a medium to heavy feed junkie.

I’m just watching the live feed of the SpaceX‘s Falcon 1 rocket launch.

I just read on Om Malik on Boardband that Michael Robertson of MP3.com, Linspire and SIPphone fame just annonced a new project called ajaxWrite.

Ohad, the leader of a small Israeli software studio named 3D3R, just released a cool little app named Bubbles.

According to this link in Globes, the Israeli Business newspaper, Google is going to open up an R&D center in Israel in the second quarter.

If blogs are the long tail of knowledge, what are the comments that most blog posts have?

A long long time ago on July 6th 2005 I’ve posted a rant post about how I’m so pissed at Google after I had to pay $37.25 to get a “Free” Google T-Shirt I won because I wrote the Google Search API .NET Wrapper.

I read a this post on Niall Kennedy’s blog about the new features in the Google Toolbar which includes the ability to store and tag label bookmarks that can also later be retrieved when logging into a different machine.

I know it has been a little quite around here and on my other blog.

Just saw this on Digg and since I’m already on a Jabber frenzy due to my previous posts, I thought I should share.

I’m sure you’ll all have heard about the Gmail dot scandal and that it WAS confirmed by Google.
