moo cards
04-Jun-07
I got my moo cards in the mail, and I think I will probably print a whole lot more of these. The print quality is very good, the paper quality is awesome, the cards are thick, coated with matte finish, the format makes the photos stand out in a very original way, and I should just admit I am a sucker for small printed things in general…
This is the size/format of the cards:

And this is what they look like in the box:

The photos I used are all in this set.

Web 2.0 is also and mostly about using online tools rather than desktop ones, I feel I’m deep into it now. I have all my email on Google’s servers, and using Google docs more and more for my text and spreadsheet documents, of course my calendar is online too, and loving it, and my photos are also archived online. Everything is backed up centrally too, but no more synchronisations are required, everything is available online from wherever I am, any machine, from work or home, overseas, or even on my mobile phone.
So, naturally, I realised it made a lot of sense to get my bookmarks online too. I created bo-ko a long time ago, but I have to admit del.icio.us did everything I wanted and needed, and then some, so I am using it as my main bookmark repository now. The point being to automate a syndication of my del.icio.us to bo-ko sometime soon.
In case you are wondering: http://del.icio.us/zevy

Now that everyone and their grandmother have a webcam and a microphone in their computer, and the Flash plugin is just a default feature you don’t consider a plugin anymore, it might be a good time to remind people to set their security settings so that random malicious websites can’t just spy on you.

Google Apps Gmail + Google Toolbar

I have been using Gmail for years, straight from when it started, and I was redirecting my domains names to my main Gmail account. Then a few days ago, I decided to make the switch and start using Google Apps so that I would have all the services attached to my own domain. But the the default Gmail button on the Google toolbar for Firefox always go to gmail.com rather than my domain. Also, it opens to http:// rather than https://.
So finally I found online how to fix this:
Open the Options of the (latest version of the) Google Toolbar, go to buttons, select the Gmail button, click edit, then click the “use the advanced editor” link. It opens a page with the code associated with this button and you can change all the “http://mail.google.com/mail/” into “https://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/”, save and close. This also changes which mail archive it will search into when you look for an email directly from the toolbar.
I didn’t find how to make my own domain open a blank email message when I click a “mailto:” link on a website yet. So far, it is always trying to open Gmail for my main Google account. If anyone knows how to fix this, please comment below. Thanks.
