plogging?

Posted on 9 October 201515 October 2015 By antipaucity 2 Comments on plogging?

Wired Magazine recently had an article on the rise of “plogging“. By their definition, “plogging” is “PLatform blOGGING” – or blogging as part of a network/site/service (DZone, LinkedIn, Medium, Facebook, etc) instead of running your own blog somewhere (WordPress.com, Blogger, self-hosted WordPress, etc). This seems to be a modern representation of what newspapers, magazines, etc…

facebook is aol

Posted on 8 October 2015 By antipaucity 2 Comments on facebook is aol

Facebook is AOL. Yes, that AOL. America Online. The one that advertised 20 years ago in conjunction with companies things like, “search AOL keyword ‘ford’”. That’s what Facebook is now. It’s AOL – but without the ISP aspect. Check that – Facebook is (or “has”) an ISP: just look at internet.org. So we’ve come full circle. The ISP…

subaru isn’t groveling

Posted on 5 October 201514 October 2015 By antipaucity 2 Comments on subaru isn’t groveling

Subaru released a new vehicle in the Japanese market recently called the Levorg (I saw it on Samurai Wheels on NHK World). It stands for LEgacy reVOlution touRinG. It also spells “grovel” backwards. From the review Samurai Wheels gave it, it certainly doesn’t grovel. But it also purports to do something relatively difficult. Subaru has introduced EyeSight in…

show only most recent facebook news feed

Posted on 22 September 201522 September 2015 By antipaucity 1 Comment on show only most recent facebook news feed

(Note: I did this in Chrome – it’ll be a little different in other browsers) I have several complaints about the book of the face – not least of which is that it likes to reset your News Feed from “Most Recent” (aka most useful) to “Top Stories” (aka whatever Facebook wants you to see)….

“like” problems: social ‘voting’ is a bad idea

Posted on 16 September 201528 April 2022 By antipaucity 6 Comments on “like” problems: social ‘voting’ is a bad idea

The news story making the rounds about Facebook the past few days indicates they’re working on a kind of “dislike” button. The problem with the Facebook “like” button is the same problem Google has with Google+ and their “+1” button: it doesn’t tell you anything meaningful. Voting on Reddit doesn’t really convey much meaning, either….

system-wide proxying with os x (yosemite)

Posted on 11 September 201510 September 2015 By antipaucity No Comments on system-wide proxying with os x (yosemite)

Perhaps you’re at a coffee shop, and want to ensure your communication is secure. Or maybe you are out of the country, and need access to something like annualcreditreport.com. What’s a body to do? If you have a Mac, set up a system-wide proxy setting for a new Location, of course! This is a very…
