Free Software To Keep Notes In Sync for Android/Chrome

9/6/2012

2 Comments

 
I like using Chrome as my default browser on my Windows and Linux computers.
And on my phone I use Android 2.2 for the OS.
When writing and reading notes I use the Chrome App Quick Note and the Android app Power Note.
Both apps are powered by diigo.com.
Before using the apps I recommend signing up for a diigo account. That way all your notes will keep in sync with your account.

If you prefer another program to keep your notes in sync, feel free to comment bellow.

In the last few years, it seems like Yahoo has a history of keeping their current CEO for short periods of time. In just the last few years, Yahoo had 4 CEO's Jerry Yang, Carol Bartz, Tim Morse and Scott Thompson as chief executive officers. Now with Marissa Mayer this makes 5.

In June 1999, Wisconsinite Marissa Mayer was hired at Google as thier first female engineer and was one of their first 20 employees. One of her main successes was creating the User Interface for Google Search and Gmail.

Before joining Google, Marissa worked at the UBS research lab and SRI International.

In 2009 Marissa married her lover Zachary Bogue who is a private-equity executive. Marissa was named Woman of the Year by Glamour Magazine.

Yahoo! Axis Browser - Review and Hack

5/24/2012

0 Comments

 
Yahoo! now has their own web browser (kinda).

On May 23th Yahoo! released a "web browser" for iOS devices and a web browser addon for Firefox, Safari and Chrome. [CNET News Release]

Later on in the day, someone downloaded the Chrome extension to their desktop, opened it up (Chrome extensions (CRX file) are ZIP archives) and found out their cert private key was included with the file. [Source: Tweet from @nikcub]

Yahoo! pulled the Chrome extension then reuploaded early on May 24th without the cert private key being public this time.

When you go to the download page at http://axis.yahoo.com/ it doesn't seem to allow downloads to people on Linux operating systems. Using a special trick, I downloaded the CRX file to my Debian computer and installed the extension in Chromium (Open source version of Chrome)
It seems to work. After about 5 minutes, I got tired of it and disabled the extension.

Yahoo! Axis for Linux:
If you would like to try out the extension for yourself on your Linux operating system, I uploaded the extension to my web site. http://web.techfurs.net/Downloads/Axis_Chrome_Extension/ Read the README file first for important information.

My Review for Ubuntu 12.04

4/26/2012

0 Comments

 
The Bad:
No categories for programs(?).
[Only] One program crash in the hours of trying out 12.04
It took a few seconds for History in dash home to go away right when history was cleared. (Maybe it was in cache?) 

Big Plus: 
Privacy settings
Fast feeling, even on my older system.
Best released since 10.10
