fighting the lack of good ideas
(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)….
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.

Note the trailing slashes on the proxy paths – without them,…
In update to my recent how-to, I found out from the founder of Pydio there are dedicated clients now. IOW, you don’t have to use just the WebUI. I haven’t tried any of them yet, but good to know they’re now there – it makes comparing Pydio and other tools like ownCloud easier.
