Google Updates iPhone Interface (Again)

Posted on by

Google has updated their mobile apps for the iPhone again. The first time wasn’t that bad of an update, and this time is even better. The new UI has a much cleaner and crisp appearance. Additionally you can customize what tabs are displayed (up to three). By default you have GMail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, and of course the main Google page. A more button will give you access to Google Docs, Picasa Web, Blogger, Google Notebook, GOOG-411, and Google Search SMS.

Also, I don’t know if i it’s just the Google stuff or if it is related the the 1.1.3 update, but the new sites are going much, much faster for me.

Blogger Adds Backlinks

Posted on by

As many of you know, I got tired of the lack of features in Blogger.com a while back, so I switched my personal site from Blogger to e107 CMS. For me, a CMS was just the better option as it offered more flexibility and more options. That isn’t to say it is a bad service or unpopular. Actually it is a nice service, and highly popular. It just isn’t for everyone.

Anyway, Blogger.com has added a new feature that allows blogs to show “backlinks” or who linked to a particular entry.

It’s not a bad feature, but harldy anything new. Other services have had trackbacks and similar items for a long time. I hope they have a method in place to prevent “backlink spam” or I could see this feature being abused pretty badly. :P

100% Blogger Blog

Posted on by

Well, right now I’ve moved my site completely over to Google’s Blogger.com service. Rather than mess with the headache of keeping my Blogger blog integrated into my site, it’ll rest here.

I plan on redoing my site with a CMS (most likely e107) over the next week or so. Maybe as soon as tomorrow… we’ll see how that goes. ;)

I’ve decided that I’ll leave my site here intact, and will continue to update it. This should be that hard to post to the main site, and have it filter back to Blogger. This will allow people to comment one whatever I may post by either registering at my site, or by registering with Blogger.com. Two for the price of one, or something like that.

Stay tuned, I’ll have more updates on this in the next few days. ;) Now, I’m going to go see if I can get back into the Bleeding Hollow server on World of Warcraft.

Welcome To The New Server

Posted on by

First off, I’d like to thank the owner of OverclockersClub.com, LinuXProX, for hosting my personal site for the longest time. He provided me with space, email, a database, and more all at no cost! It doesn’t get any better than that.

Despite all of that, I felt as if I was somewhat taking advantage of LinuXProX. My personal site was slowly starting to take up more space, more bandwidth, and more resources on the server. That server happened to be the exact same one as the main OverclockersClub.com server.

I’m sure some of you remember the days that I overloaded the server. That happened more than once as I experimented with some PHP and MySQL stuff. While it hasn’t happened that often, it did directly impact LinuXProX as well as all OCC members.

All of that, combined with some new issues with Blogger.com (which I am still considering leaving) forced me to consider other options. After considering cost, features, and a number of other things I’ve selected a new host and actually already moved things over. That’s right, if you are reading this message, you’re seeing the new site. :) It should be faster, and allow me to do a hell of a lot more. What exactly does that mean? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see. :p

Anyway, it’s back to work now. Just wanted to let everyone know what was up.

Oh, and one other thing. My wife has finally updated her blog. :p
